BREASTS
She thinks a moment and then says you were born ~ is, the doctor keeps you up, see your penis and says, "t's a boy. "This is determined for you. But what if you Then you do not feel like? Increasingly I felt that I should have been born in the body of a woman. I have the brain of a woman's soul a woman. I had to have breasts.
It's hard to explain, even to myself, that makes it so complicated. I years have tried to find out how the exact process, and how it could. "Was it my DNA? The universe it so intended? My parents using drugs - my mother also done when I was in her womb? Is it something neurological? Why would as a young girl, or he sits somewhere between two sexes? How is that?
"So I decided that it made no sense keep thinking about it. It is now so once. I must accept it. And even cherish. That was three years ago. Then I decided: I can not do if I want to be myself, what or who that Also, I want to express my female essence."
WAREHEL
Caputo went to a gender therapist, and underwent hormone treatment. "The first year I found a veritable hell. You body and your brain to get used to estrogen. But I knew I endured. Here I had in years waiting for."
Slowly he began to others tell you. Friends, band members, family, ex-girlfriends, fans. People who I feared the reaction, responded to my surprise, very warm and loving, and people whose support I would have expected, suddenly ignored me, can not now deal with me anymore. Or said things as: "This is a phase you grow it here over again. " Or: "You will now not my wife home with clothes and makeup on? "Tell you what: I'll never more to your house, **** you."
Suddenly mildly: "I understand that people mourn Keith, I myself had the first year. But I love who I am and what I am today. And I think it's great to see my friends get used to me, my new name, my new character, Mina me how begin to call and 'them' and 'her'. "These people are friends Minas, who others do not. So clear now. "The people who have emailed me with texts like "dude, I love your music, but what's up with the makeup? "- if you not draw, let me alone. Can you do not respect, look the other way. I have become activist, feminist if you will. I apologize not for myself. '
Keith Mina has at various times in his life lived in the Netherlands, Heerhugowaard to Diemen ("Best fun, and if you take 9 you to Amsterdam "), but Mina here The name was a feminist activist group - The Dolle Minas - in the years seventy used, she did not know. "If I was in love with an adolescent girl that name. Then I thought if I steal her name. I did not Italian name. In Italy everyone has the same name. I would not even know how many Italians New York, I know who called Joey. "
HORMONE DEALERS
Sometimes there was the idea, says Keith Mina, I had all this have not previously do? "But I grew up without the Internet. So all the information I I gathered all these years, I was never find. The risks, the different types of hormone treatments, the Timeline of a transsexual, the different doctors and their methods: I've studied all in there. The transsexuals who I know from my childhood, had to buy hormones on the street, with dealers, instead of a doctor. They could not get a job, so they had they are prostitutes.

"So much has changed. I have a lot of other transgender people talking. Some overwogenook have an operation undergone. I do not. I love my penis. And I love the company of beautiful women. I'm a lesbian, no homosexual. I've never had a relationship a man had. Or perhaps I feel even a pansexual I love just beautiful people. The joke provisional that in the scene where Life of Agony lots of people always thought I was gay was the prettiest girls at the same time while I had. " Laughing: "And the most." She has a girlfriend for several years. "She's so beautiful, in a pure, Kate Moss-like fashion. And they I understand completely. She always calls me Mina."
Remains difficult, though. And confusing. "You may have noticed tonight Also on stage, I'm a bee * turned in myself, I must again relate to the expectations of the the public. I feel they look, more than ever, and different from before. And I want them especially the music not forgotten, because that's the point. There are days when I depression and days when I am very nice feeling, like today. Sometimes I think I: I am not a real woman, or a beautiful. And the next day I think there again very differently. "But that's fine. Bob Dylan once said: "A real artist is always in the state of becoming."
EMOTIONAL WRECK
Her help and support in addition to his the members of his current girlfriend, Dutch band, and her friend Michael Alago, a homosexual who extrovert was responsible for the first major Metallica recording contract and Nina Simone worked with, among others.
"Michael is gayer than gay. If I cry, he cries with you. " Laughing: "And I can be very good cry. Hysterical, and then laugh time. I'm actually an emotional wreck. But I believe in the salvation of crying. As many men would better crying, the world was less violent, I'm convinced." Her band, Life of Agony, re-established mid-nineties and last year just on sabotaging the once again playing their debut album, so it's over, says Keith Mina. "Let's face it, the feitelijkwas for years past, because there was no new music. We are not breaking up because I now have boobs, but because we balance a dysfunctional band, how many we love each other. And for the money I do not do it. I did not much needed. I have no children or exvrouwen. I have enough on my laptop, my books, my clothes and my guitar." And on her book. Hear book with all texts, she is carrying a child's teddy bear, even on stage. Keith stops at Mina and browse Identity number: "I am man I note I am Tue note man. "That's right, she nods. "Before I received emails from people in the had a secret drug addiction and support found in my texts. Now get I have emails from young people who struggle with their identity. Lots of people live with a big secret. This is my big lesson: the importance of fair are. To yourself. '
