“It wasn’t until recently that I was even comfortable admitting this to myself, once I was able to look inwards and truly reflect on my authentic self.”
Getty, who is a descendant of oil tycoon J Paul Getty, added: “So I decided to start my physical transition and get top surgery.
“This surgery is something I have wanted for years and I can’t believe I will finally have the chest I have always dreamed of.”
Getty said it was “a privilege that I’m even able to move forward with this when for many it’s an impossible option due to their circumstance,” adding “it’s not lost on me the many people who are having to navigate this alone and in silence.”
