Transitioning is a journey.
It's one of the most important and exciting journeys you'll ever take, but it can also be scary and overwhelming. We’re here to be your ride or die down that crazy road to the ultimate destination – YOU.
Your gender identity is a very personal thing, so we know you want to take the time to know yourself. Hormones – yes, or no? How do you tell your family? What about the legal stuff? What are your options for surgery?
Here, you’ll find everything you need so you know what to expect. We’re always updating stuff here, so check back often!
