Gender transition: gender diverse people

The idea of androgyny (being both masculine and feminine) is now a much larger range of gender diverse identities.

Most gender diverse people take social steps to express their gender identities.

Some gender diverse people also choose legal or medical steps to express their gender identities. For instance, you can make a gender transition without taking hormones. It is your body, and you can choose which things you want to do and do not want to do.
