He concluded the post with a hashtag for \"#transjoy.\"

Two years ago, in May 2021, Page shared a shirtless photo to Instagram and celebrated him having gotten his first pair of swim trunks.

The \"Umbrella Academy\" star has previously said that his upcoming memoir \"Pageboy,\" out June 6, will further detail his journey as a trans person, and he hopes it helps other trans people as well.

\"The act of writing, reading, and sharing the multitude of our experiences is an important step in standing up to those who wish to silence and harm us,\" Page wrote on Instagram when revealing the book's cover, which shows him posing in a white tank top and jeans.

He continued, \"Books have helped me, saved me even, so I hope this can help someone feel less alone.\"
