Metal band guitarist comes out as trans in moving statement
"I'd always assumed I'd just live my life, complain a lot, and die,"
"It's been liberating to finally live as myself albeit challenging at the same time, but the happiness I feel outweighs any obstacles I've faced so far,"
"Seeing so many young people now able to embrace who they are and live authentically without as much b******* as existed when I was young helped shine a light on the possibility that maybe I can finally be me in my autumn years."
"We'll continue to write, record and perform hard heavy music and I may look a little more androgynous but everything else remains the same,"
Josie Scott announced a transgender identity and shared that gender dysphoria began around age eight. Close friends and family know her as Josie or Jo. She identifies within the paradigm of being a trans woman and described living authentically as liberating despite challenges. Younger trans people inspired the decision to come out and encouraged the possibility of embracing identity later in life. Scott confirmed her role in The Mark of Cain will continue unchanged; the band will keep writing, recording and performing heavy music, though her appearance may become more androgynous.
