Sometimes happiness goes beyond losing or gaining weight, finding the perfect job, or achieving big goals. Sometimes, it requires a more drastic approach. There are some brave people who felt trapped in bodies that didn’t feel like their own, and they found the strength and courage to change that — and the results absolutely speak for themselves.

Bright Side would love to show you 20 spectacular before and after pictures of people who became their true selves, and it changed their lives.
