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.

Interesting that no trans women were mentioned in the article, although several trans men and non binary people were.

We should celebrate our trans brothers and NB fam out there. So much news reporting and such skews towards trans women these days. It’s good to see positive articles about trans men and non binary folks. They deserve just as much attention as trans women like myself.

This is very much a good thing. It's a bit of a trope at this point that saying "trans" makes people assume "Male-to-Female". You'll find no shortage of trans mascs complaining about the erasure. Let 'em have the spotlight for once.

Why would an article about top surgery (double mastectomy) feature trans women?
