Because we all need some more trans joy in our life.

Trans and non-binary people share how getting top surgery helped them enjoy life, "feel happy" and affirm their identity.

Man, I got to say that as a cis gay guy, it absolutely warms my heart to see our trans siblings in the community have support and understanding as they grow up. I never had that, and even though there's a lot of transphobia and shit in my country that needs to be fixed ASAP, the fact that things are even just a little bit better for the next generation truly gives me hope for the future.

The part about them going to the beach and just having fun without having to give a shit had been grinning like an idiot. I know that was made possible by the top surgery, but still. It was such a sweet moment in the article.
