Gay dudes in metal bands are no longer unheard of. Rob Halford from Judas Priest, Gaahl from black metal legends Gorgoroth. It's whatever. Some metal fans throw tantrums over the news, but most take it in stride. They just want the music to shred their ears.

But for a metal rocker to come out as trans? That's sort of new. So cheers to Brooklyn-based Life of Agony singer Keith Caputo, who's taken to Twitter to announce her official status as an MtF transperson and to come out swinging at anybody who doesn't like it, as well as to share the fact that she'll be keeping her penis, in spite of some news reports to the contrary.

Huh. I was so happy when I had heard that Queerty had finally collapsed under the weight of its collective...ego. I guess someone came and revived it. Well, I'm feeling masochistic. Let's give it a read, shall we?

*/me reads story*

"So far so good."

*/me starts to read comments*

"Oh God, the ignorance, it burns!"

Yep. Good old Queerty.
