Encyclopedia > Transitioning (transgender)

Transitioning is the process of ceasing to live in one gender role and starting to live in another, undertaken by transgender and transsexual people.


Transitioning usually happens before any sex reassignment surgery, and in some cases even before any hormone replacement therapy. Transitioning often marks the start of the real life experience needed for SRS.


Many people also use the term 'transitioning' to mean the entire transgender/transsexual process (from living 24/7 in the original gender role to after surgery). The beginning of the real life experience is then often called 'going fulltime' (i.e. starting to live 24/7 in the opposite gender role).


Transitioning can involve name changes, wearing clothing seen as gender appropriate or the use of make-up, and generally coming out of the Closet.
