Chester Bennington’s child comes out as transgender

The late musician Chester Bennington’s kid Draven Bennington has turned a leaf on a new chapter. The 22-year-old son of the Linkin Park frontman, who died by suicide in 2017, shared in a February 14 Instagram post for Valentine’s Day that they “came out as transgender” last year. They also shared that they are in the process of transitioning, noting it was “the perfect time to show some love to myself”, reports People magazine. “For a long time, I tried to be someone, someone I truly wasn’t on the inside”, Draven wrote in the post. “Ignoring it worked for a while, but continuously coming to the crossroads of being happy or being complacent was one I couldn’t keep choosing”.
