Teddy Geiger, songwriter for One Direction and Shawn Mendes, has announced plans to transition.
Geiger, who penned One Direction’s ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go’ and some of Mendes’ biggest hits including ‘Stitches’, ‘Treat You Better’ and ‘Mercy’, was recently asked by a fan: “Why do you look different lately?”. Geiger replied by announcing: “I am transitioning”.
“Okay… because u asked nicely,” Geiger wrote. “I am transitioning. 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 y’all. So here goes. Love it or hate this is who I have been for a looooong time.”
After an outpouring of support from fans – and Mendes himself, Geiger later posted a selfie to Instagram along with the caption: “Woke up to so much love. I have the best friends.” See below.
