WNBA's Layshia Clarendon Undergoes Top Surgery: 'Freedom at Last'
Layshia Clarendon is feeling "freedom at last."
The WNBA star, 29, shared on social media Friday that they underwent top surgery earlier this month, and in doing so, is finally "feeling a sense of gender euphoria as opposed to gender dysphoria."
"On Jan 13th at 10am I hugged my wife in front of my surgery building, walked in and took a deep breath...The day was finally here. The day I got to have Top Surgery!!!!!!!" wrote Clarendon on Instagram, sharing several photos from after the surgery.
"It's hard to put into words the feeling of seeing my chest for the first time free of breasts, seeing my chest the way I've always seen it, and feeling a sense of gender euphoria as opposed to gender dysphoria," Clarendon wrote. "Sighhhh...freedom... freedom at last."
Clarendon, who welcomed a baby with wife Jessica on Christmas Day, continued in their Friday caption that they were hesitant at first to share the news of their top surgery.
"I'm usually not scared to share news publicly but the amount of hate, myths & ignorance surrounding Trans and Non Binary people's existence actually had me debating sharing this joy," the athlete wrote. "I want Trans people to know and see that we've always existed & no one can erase us!"
