Six-pack summer! Elliot Page ushered in the weekend with a shirtless mirror selfie posted to his Instagram Story on Friday.

The picture highlights Page's toned abs and includes a TGIF sticker. Fans took a screenshot of the since-expired story, which looks to be taken in a trailer or dressing room, and have shared it with excitement for the actor.

Page's abs were previously seen in the shirtless pool picture he posted in March. In the caption Page wrote, "Trans bb’s first swim trunks #transjoy #transisbeautiful."

In March, Page shared that he had undergone top surgery (subcutaneous mastectomy), a procedure for transgender men to have breast tissue removed.

The surgery has made it possible for Page to recognize himself in the mirror, he told Time magazine in March. Page has been very open about the procedure, in part to raise awareness for trans healthcare rights.

"I want people to know that not only has it been life changing for me, I do believe it is life saving and it's the case for so many people," Page told Oprah Winfrey in April. "Because there is such an attack on trans health care right now, when already there is such a lack of access or trans people who don't even want to go to the doctor."

The internet has applauded Page for his show of trans joy. Cosmopolitan called the selfie "downright smoldering" and Men's Health commended him on his "thirst trap game."

Since coming out as transgender on Instagram last December, Page has used his social media platform to showcase trans pride and promote visibility and equality.

At the end of this month, Page will be honored with an achievement award from Outfest, a LGBTQ film festival in Los Angeles.

In a release announcing the award, Page accepted, saying, "Now more than ever, it is so important for our voices to be amplified and represented in film and media, and for people to hear our stories."
