Transition is about focusing on gender intensely for a little while so that you can go on and live your life as the most authentic, lit-up, actualized version of yourself possible without having gender dysphoria (or a sense of incongruency about gender identity or expression) being the thing that defines your days.

For transgender and gender non-conforming folks, one major social determinate of health is the fact that many folks, especially those from more rural areas, don't have these strong connections with others and don't feel supported in their transition. Having fewer resources for support is absolutely a reality for many people that I don't want to minimize. AND one of the things I hear very frequently from my clients is a pretty common set of limiting beliefs that stop them from fully accessing or finding the support and kinship connections that are available or could be available with some creativity and time investment.
