6. Transitioning

Transitioning is different for every transgender person. Some begin by outwardly expressing their preferred gender around people that they know and trust. They often work their way up to living as their preferred gender by adopting the clothing and grooming habits of their desired sex. Some may change their name, use hormone therapy, or undergo surgeries to modify their bodies to reach an external expression of the gender they are internally.
