Transition is a term that is used to describe the process that individuals typically experiencing [[gender dysphoria]] go through to reach their desired social role, and/or physicality; there is no single definition of transition as the term is based on the unique requirements of each individual. | <translate>Transition is a term that is used to describe the process that individuals typically experiencing [[gender dysphoria]] go through to reach their desired social role, and/or physicality; there is no single definition of transition as the term is based on the unique requirements of each individual. | ||

| quote = Introducing myself to people is less "Hi, my name is __" and more "Hi, my name is __, and by the way I'm here to break your fundamental understanding of your world and how it works." Every introduction, every interaction, I have to make a choice on whether to correct people, whether to explain things. Sometimes it's just not worth it. | | quote = <translate>Introducing myself to people is less "Hi, my name is __" and more "Hi, my name is __, and by the way I'm here to break your fundamental understanding of your world and how it works."

In most societies, a personal name is a fundamental component of social identity. The naming of infants by humans throughout history has typically followed local cultural traditions which have emphasised familial connections, also commonly inferring that the owner of a given name is either 'male' or 'female'. Many individuals go on to adopt an alternative to their birth-name, or replace it altogether; individuals experiencing gender dysphoria may regard such an act as constituting the whole, or part, of their transition. | <translate>In most societies, a personal name is a fundamental component of social identity.

Changing ones name within an everyday social context can be as simple as informing others of your choice, however in societies with a complex legal system (or equivalent) there can be conditions that place limitations on the individuals right to self determination which can be especially problematic for [[nonbinary]] individuals. For example, in Germany the Standesamt (Office of Vital Statistics) <ref>http://standesamtauskunft.de/Default2.aspx</ref> typically refuses to recognise in German civil registration law names that are gender-ambiguous; a given name must indicate that the owner is either 'male' or 'female'. | Changing ones name within an everyday social context can be as simple as informing others of your choice, however in societies with a complex legal system (or equivalent) there can be conditions that place limitations on the individuals right to self determination which can be especially problematic for [[nonbinary]] individuals.
