In a poignant episode of the WOW Presents Plus series, Avalon TV, Gigi Goode, the beloved finalist from RuPaul’s Drag Race season 12, took a significant step in her gender-affirming journey. Goode, who courageously came out as transgender in August 2021, underwent fat transfer breast augmentation surgery, and the experience was captured with both grace and authenticity.
A Personal Project of Love and Self-Discovery
Under twilight anesthesia, Gigi Goode embarked on this profound moment in her life, sharing her thoughts from the operating table. With an air of anticipation, she expressed, “You know, girls, I’m feeling very good. It still hasn’t hit me that I’m having surgery. My mom had brought up the concern of this feeling like, people already hate [redacted], and now they’re going to be like, ‘Oh, see, all they want is attention for this and that.’ But for me, it’s more like… I love a project and this is a very personal project.”
Goode’s candidness in addressing both her excitement and the societal pressures faced by transgender individuals highlights the significance of her journey, not only for herself but for the broader LGBTQ+ community.
A Transformation Documented with Care
Dr. David Rosenberg conducted Gigi Goode’s gender-affirming surgery, and the process was meticulously documented by World of Wonder and Max Bronner for Avalon TV. In addition to capturing the surgical procedure, a touching photoshoot both before and after the surgery showcased Goode’s stunning transformation.
After the surgery, Goode looked at her reflection in the mirror and was visibly moved. “They’re perfect,” she emotionally remarked, highlighting the profound impact this experience had on her sense of self.
