Draven Bennington, daughter of late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, shared a heartfelt Valentine's Day letter revealing her transgender identity. She expressed her decision to embrace her true self after struggling with inner conflict. Draven, now using she/her pronouns, began gender-affirming care and declared it the best decision of her life. Additionally, she expressed deep gratitude for the unwavering support from her family, especially her mother, Samantha Bennington. Through this letter, Draven celebrates self-love and courage, affirming that love is love, while encouraging others who may be struggling with their identity.
"For a long time, I tried to be someone, someone I truly wasn't on the inside. Ignoring it worked for a while, but continuously coming to the crossroads of being happy or being complacent was one I couldn't keep crossing."
"I do have to say I am very blessed to be able to do this, as well as having such supportive family and friends. I love each and every one of you who have shown me nothing but love and respect and see me for who I truly am."
