Personal life
Brewer had a history of struggling with anxiety, depression, and suicidal urges, which lead to discovering his need to transition in 2015. Brewer had stated that he knew he was transgender nine years prior, but was unable to truly be himself. After many years of therapy, he finally announced his transition to his fans, many of which announced their support. Brewer stated, "I don't worry about losing my Minions. We are a special band of misfits and they have been accepting and supportive all along."[7]
