Teddy Geiger: I"m Transitioning to Womanhood
Teddy Geiger has made a very personal admission.
The singer-songwriter responded to a question by a follower on Twitter today by coming clean about something that has apparently been on his mind for a long time.
“Tell us, why do you look different lately?” the commenter wrote, to which Geiger responded very simply and straightforwardly:
“Okay… because u asked nicely… I am transitioning.
Oh. Wow.
The artist didn’t delve into too much detail, or explain precisely what he means by “transitioning,” but the safe assumption is that he plans to live life as a woman in the near future.
Will this mean plastic surgery?
Gender reassignment surgery?
We’d just be speculating right now if we were to say.
Added Geiger, who appeared on the VH1 reality competition In Search of the Partridge Family in2004 and went on to release the 2006 album Underage Thinking:
I started talking about it with a couple of my close friends and family about a month ago and it’s given me the courage to start the process. I feel like the next step is to tell all y’all. So here goes. Love it or hate this is who i have been for a looooong time.
I love u guys. Talk sooooon byeeee.
The singer has a Top 40 single on his resume with 2006’s “For You I Will (Confidence).”
Geiger has also performed on Hilary Duff’s 2005 tour Still Most Wanted and appeared in the 2008 film The Rocker.
In recent years, his own singing career has taken a backseat to his songwriting career.
Geiger has penned a slew of major tracks for A-list acts, including the following singers/band and singles:
- One Direction (“Where Do Broken Hearts Go”)
- Shawn Mendes (“Stitches,” “Treat You Better,” “Mercy,” “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back”)
- Maroon 5 (“Who I Am,” off the group’s upcoming album.)
We salute Geiger for taking this brave step.
We hope he finds happiness in living life as the person he truly believes himself to me.
Awhile back, of course, Caitlyn Jenner made major headlines when she made a similar transition.
Super producer Ryan Murphy, meanwhile, has announced that his next FX series (“Pose) will feature five transgender actors in series regular roles, the largest number to ever grace the screen in a scripted TV program.
It’s becoming far more socially acceptable for individuals in these situations to embrace their true selves and to talk about it openly in public.
Which is pretty refreshing, isn’t it?
Well done, Teddy Geiger. You keep doing you.
