It seems to me (with emphasis on "to me") that the meaning of "transition" has changed over time.
In olden days when I still lived in a closet, transition meant that you took hormones, had surgery and did all that the law allowed to officially change your name and sex designation.
Today, the definition of "transition" is a lot looser. You don't have to take hormones and/or you don't have to have surgery and/or you don't have to legally change your name or sex designation. You don't even have to live full-time in your trans gender.
So I guess I transitioned some time ago and didn't even know it!
Regarding my transition, one thing I would do differently is not change my first name and use Stanley rather than Stana.
And so it goes.
Thought for the Day
And so it goes.
