[[Saving up for transition expenses]] is one of the actions that a [[nonbinary]] person may take early during their [[transition]]. Depending on the individual's [[gender dysphoria]] and other feelings about their body and appearance, some nonbinary people seek a physical transition. A transition may be very expensive, particularly if it includes [[surgery]]. Worldwide, [[health insurance]] often doesn't cover surgeries that are just for [[transgender]] people. As a result, the person has to save up to pay for it out of pocket. This page is written to be helpful for such people, even if they are youth who haven't had much experience with or education about personal finance. | |||
