Transitioning is the process of ceasing to live in one gender role and starting to live in another, undertaken by transgender and transsexual.

Transitioning usually happens before any sex reassignment surgery, and in some cases even before any hormone replacement therapy.

Transitioning can involve name changes, wearing clothing seen as gender appropriate or the use of make up, and generally coming out of the closet.
