Dr. Z discusses social transition for trans women or nonbinary individuals leaning toward feminine side of gender spectrum. Few months ago she did video on gender transition discussing various stages. People asked for greater detail of each stage, so this video discusses what constitutes social transition. Breaking down into two categories: (1) overview of social transition—what it entails, (2) things to consider prior to starting and obstacles that may affect it. Social transition usually first step trans women/nonbinary people take. Often accompanied by hormone transition. Generally anything you do in social settings or interactions with others falls in category. Watch to find out what's involved (coming out, choosing name/pronouns, presenting in public, changing appearance—feminine clothes, styling hair, makeup, hair extensions/wigs, tucking, voice training, hair removal) and obstacles to consider.
