What does social transition really mean for transgender children, and why does it matter? In this episode, I break down the realities of social transition—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it benefits transgender kids. With firsthand stories and research-backed insights, I address common questions and misconceptions, including how children understand their gender and whether social transition is reversible.
This episode is the first in a series designed to help healthcare providers understand the full journey of transgender patients who transitioned before puberty. Future episodes will explore medical and surgical transition, giving providers a clearer picture of the patients they will encounter in adulthood.
How does understanding social transition shape the way you support transgender patients and their families?
