Wikipedia:

Lucas Silveira is a Canadian vocalist/guitarist and songwriter for the rock band The Cliks. He is a transgender man.

Early life

Born in Canada to a musical Portuguese-Canadian family, he lived from the age of four to the age of ten on Pico Island. At age ten, his family moved back to the suburbs of Toronto.

According to Silveira, at the age of about 3, "I knew exactly who I was ..., which sucked, not having words for it and being told I was something else." He knew he was a boy and asked his mother to buy him a penis like his brothers. He suppressed his feelings about his identity. The first time he heard about transgenders was on Geraldo Rivera when he was about 14 or 15. He subsequently decided to come out and live as a lesbian.

Transition

In 2010 he began hormone therapy by taking testosterone.

Career

Silveira founded The Cliks in 2004.
