Elon Musk’s Daughter Vivian Responds to His Comments About Her Transgender Identity
Draven Bennington is living her truth.
The daughter of Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington—who died in 2017 by suicide—announced in a Valentine’s Day post she is transgender, noting the decision came after a long time of trying to be someone she “wasn’t on the inside.”
“In August of last year, I decided to take the path of happiness and being my true self,” Draven continued in the Feb. 14 post. “I came out as transgender and started hormone replacement therapy, and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made.”
She expressed her gratitude for her supportive friends and family, giving a special shoutout to her mom Samantha Bennington, adding, “I’m so blessed to be your child! I love you to the moon and back!”
The 22-year-old noted she chose Valentine’s Day to make her announcement—which she captioned simply with pink hearts alongside the transgender pride flag—because the holiday “is a day to celebrate love and what love truly means.”
In a follow up post shared just days later, Draven described the outpouring of love she’s received following her announcement.
