There are people who are born in bodies that feel foreign to them. Such individuals have a gender identity that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Luckily, current medicine allows people to change their gender and the way they look with the help of surgery and hormone therapy.

We at Bright Side collected 14 brave people who have already started their long journey toward getting their true gender identity, and we admire each and every one of them.

“A difference of one year”

“So, the first picture just came up on my memories from 4 years ago. I lived in a body that felt so foreign to me for 32 years.”

“Realizing that I had the ability to change my status quo and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life was huge.”

“3 years, full-time today!”

“Formal wear in 2015 vs formal wear in 2021!”

“Eyeliner is definitely more manageable than camo paint!”

“1.7 years of hormonal therapy — it’s been an incredible journey.”

“Goddess estrogen is showing mercy on me.”

Transition at 28

“Found an old pic at my parents’ place. Me at 17 vs 34 — shocker!”

“It’s been a long way — 26 years old vs 30 years old!”

Here’s what 4 years of hormonal therapy look like.

“How am I doing? 2012 v 2021, almost 2 months of hormonal therapy!”

Summer 2020 to winter 2021 — way to go!

“Legally changed my name to Kate today!”

Which of these transitions amazed you the most?

No, the hormones should be taken for life. The thing is these people never change and can never change their gender, they just acquire its apparence (to some extent). Their bodies will still produce their own hormones (according to their real gender) and they need to 'fight ' that till the end.

It's the majority of the trans community. Somehow they think if they pretend to be a woman their life would be easier, but in fact women have it worse!

I've been a man and I've been a man who emulated a woman. I've never been a woman. I never had that service once a month. I've never been pregnant. You know, I can never say how a woman feels. I can only say how a man who acts like a woman or dresses like a woman feels.
