Not the person you're replying to, but my guess is that "transition" implies some sort of inner journey, but transitioning is often really about changing how the world views you. You're still the woman, man, or non-binary entity you always were, you're just making changes to encourage/force everyone else to see you the same way.

    This makes sense, transition also implies I changed from one thing to another, which is how it appears externally I suppose but for me it was more like being let out of a prison where personal expression suddenly became possible. I didn't change so much as people just started being able to seeing the whole me for the first time.
