Gender reveal parties for babies are pretty outdated.

Do we really need balloons filled with pink or blue confetti to signify the sex of new arrivals?

But transgender reveal parties, we can get on board with.

Corey Walker’s amazing friends did exactly that for him when he started taking testosterone, throwing him a surprise ‘it’s a boy’ party.


And it looked pretty lit.

His thoughtful friends decorated his entire home in Florida, with baby blue and white balloons, bunting, ‘it’s a boy’ tree decorations, and a blue and pink flag.

‘So I actually came up with the idea a few years ago when my partner at the time came out as trans,’ Corey explained to Metro.co.uk.



‘I thought it would be a cute surprise for him to come home to after he went to the doctor to get his first shot of testosterone.

‘My friends thought I deserved the same and they went all out! We even had syringes filled with Jell-O shots! I think it’s a great idea and a great way for friends of trans individuals to show support.

‘Transitioning is not easy but knowing you’re not alone makes everything a little easier. Plus, who doesn’t love a good party right?’

After tweeting about the party, the post went viral, amassing over 61,000 likes, with many, many messages of support which was heartwarming to see.
