Elliot Page
Photos of actors showing off their six-packs aren't exactly a rarity on Instagram, but the latest ab-baring image to go viral actually marks a major moment—both for actor Elliot Page and for trans visibility.
On May 24, Page posted a shirtless photo on Instagram to celebrate his first pair of swim trunks, sharing his top surgery results at the same time. Page captioned the photo, “Trans bb’s first swim trunks,” including the hashtags #transjoy and #transisbeautiful.
Top surgery is a common gender-affirming procedure that some trans, nonbinary and queer people decide to undergo to alleviate gender dysphoria.
