    We'll delve into the three main types of transition:

    • Medical: Exploring medical options for affirming gender identity.
    • Legal: Understanding legal processes for changing documentation.
    • Social: Navigating social changes and presenting the desired gender to the world.

    But what's just as important is understanding why someone might not choose any or all of these forms of transition. We'll discuss factors like personal preference, access to resources, and individual priorities.
