Social Transition

Social transitioning is the social and societal part of a person's transition, where they make others aware of their gender and begin making changes. Some parts of social transitioning include: Social transitioning is often daunting, due to the possibility of transphobia from those around the individual. However, with support, this part of transitioning can be easier than medical and legal transitioning, as it can be achieved by any individual. A person doesn't have to socially transition all at once; they can choose to come out to others and socially transition at their own pace. For example, one may have a friend group where they use their proper name and pronouns, but they might not even be out to a different friend group.
 * Coming out
 * Changing one's name in social situations
 * Asking others to refer to use the correct pronouns and gendered language (or lack thereof)
 * Changing one's gender expression
