Erm, Its probably about time I did this Okay some big news I guess some of you may already know and my very close family and friends have known for about a year ? I am transgender and have been on HRT (Hormone replacement therapy) for a short while now which will help me transition my body to match my mind/gender identity ? I have now changed all my title and name by deed poll, Im now known as Addi, I didnt want to change the name my mum gave me too much I would really appreciate if you call me by that name now and use female pronouns for me (Her/she) So I guess here is a little explanation about it all I have known that one day I would have to take this journey it took my a long to time to get the courage to even begin I am 23 now but have been thinking about this since I was around 11? I am as sure about this as I have ever been about a single thing in my life This is the first time in my life that I dont have to lie and pretend about who I am anymore and it feels great just typing this so the future ? I carry on with all the doctor/medical side, Its not the easiest thing in the world but this is my journey and I wouldnt trade it for anything ( not even drake concert tickets : D ) Family/friends I would like to thank all of my family members and friends who have supported me through this transition so far, I could not have even got this far without most of you Me as a musician Nothing is going to change except im probably going to be around a lot longer than I thought now that Im happy with myself ( no joining the 27 club now! ) I still love metal and technical music Im pretty much the same person just kinda prettier in the future ahah of course im still in love with drums and rhythm and will be until I die though as I come more into my own I would not be surprised if i start learning a few more instruments I love producing and composing a lot since i got back into all, the same with guitar and piano,I just love music all of it One of the medications as part of HRT is testosterone blockers I get injected into me once a month(ouch), obviously one of the effects it has is muscle loss so I guess my style in drumming will change slightly, not being a contender heavy hitter/powerhouses like your orbins and langs, though Ill make up for it with my own unique creativity and limb independence skills, I look forward to seeing how my style is going to develop as my body changes now hopefully this isnt too much of a shock and its not confusing or whatever Im not really sure of what else to say but thank you for reading (oh and yes I did change my middle name to a protest the hero album:D)
