TRANSITION

MAPPING
GUIDE
Finding the path for our own transition can be
overwhelming. This guide is meant to be a living
document that can change as your goals and needs
do. It can help you decide what aspects of
transition are relevant to you, serve as a guideline
to map your transition, and help you make plans to
achieve your transition related goals. It’s not
perfect and won’t encapsulate the entirety of what
transition can mean or look like, but it’s meant to be
broad enough that you can adapt it to fit your
needs.

the map is to help you see what's important to you and how those goals
might be connected to one another. For example, top surgery might be
most pressing to you, but you may find it easier to do if you start HRT
first (if that's already one of your goals)
