Seeing his chest for the first time, Sol is overcome with emotion, crying happy tears as the doctor checks for bruising.
He wrote: “i’d like to share my very personal chest reveal moment with the world, to hopefully show that despite the endless negative experiences we trans people have, we also get to experience some of the best feelings in the world.
“use this video to manifest your own future if you need to.”

A keen trans ally wrote: “This is why I support. You can see the relief in your face. How dare somebody even judge people for just wanting to feel right within themselves. Happy for you.”
‘Trans people are just trying to be happy’
Sol responded: “thank you to everyone who has shown their support after my chest reveal. bit painful/uncomfortable right now but nothing matters apart from how utterly content i am.
“i can’t express how thankful i am for every person who has shown their support. by posting this, i wish to show the humanity in trans people that a lot of bigots refuse to see. i also wish to ignite empathy for us. we are not bad or unnatural people. we’re just trying to be happy.”
Of course, there were also haters on hand, but they were frankly wasting their efforts.
Sol wrote: “to the transphobes that keep popping up in my notifications, i’d like you to know that you’re wasting your time. i’m trusting that karma will give you what you deserve :-)”
