Do you have to medically transition to be trans*? • No, medically transitioning is a very personal decision. • Some can not medically transition due to health concerns, but that doesn’t make them less trans • A Trans* individual does not have to change any bit of their biology to still be trans • Some choose to transition medically (HRT, GCS or SRS, FFS, Top surgery, etc. ) • Some don’t and that’s fine, it’s a personal decision • And none of your business ; )
