Liv Hewson is getting candid about coming out as non-binary and undergoing top surgery.
Top surgery is a procedure that removes or augments breast tissue and reshapes the chest to create a more masculine or feminine appearance for transgender and non-binary people. -- says they underwent top surgery last year. “I cannot tell you the complete, fundamental shift that I have felt in the year since having surgery,” they said.
The actor explained that the decision to have the procedure was something they had desired for much of their life. “I knew that I wanted top surgery for a decade; it's the longest I've ever thought about doing anything. The place that I went, I had that clinic's website open on my laptop for five years. It was this impossible mountain: I want that, but I'm never gonna get it. No one's gonna let me, blah, blah, blah,” Hewson recalled.
“To have that be in the past now… I stand differently, I walk differently, I carry myself differently,” they noted. “It feels different in my body than it ever has. I just have never been happier. I've never been more centered, I've never felt more stable and present and alive. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. It’s taught me a lot.
Hewson is shutting down anyone who feels the need to negatively comment on their surgery, saying, “When people talk about gender-affirming surgery using words like ‘mutilation,’ that's not very nice. Is that how you think about people who've had surgery for other things? I am not going to entertain anybody's disgust over my body. It's my body, it’s healthy and strong and beautiful, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Point blank.
