A transgender man has shared the incredibly emotional moment he first saw the results of his gender confirmation surgery.
The 22-year-old queer trans man from Australia – whose username is @capritran – shared the “very personal chest reveal moment” earlier this week.
In it, a medical professional unwraps the chest compression and bandages from the young man as he gets visibly emotional.
The young trans man is then asked:

He nods his head as he tries to fight back tears.
Sharing the video to Twitter, he tweeted:
At the time of writing, the video has almost 700,000 likes, just over 70,000 retweets and a whole host of supportive comments.
In a follow-up tweet, @capritran wrote:

And just in case you thought the young trans man was letting the negativity get to him at all, he then posted a smiling selfie at home, writing he’s “never been happier”.
We have absolutely no choice but to stan.
