To transform yourself into the person you want to become, it takes courage, grit, and willingness to let yourself fail a few times so you can figure out how to get it right. For these five transgender women, transitioning into their true self was a journey that transformed them forever. Through the many forms of pain and anguish that each of these women faced, a brave, beautiful, self-aware person emerged.

In the spirit of transformation, I asked these women to think of a time when they first began their journey. Here is the advice that they would give their previous selves, knowing what they know now.

*****************************
Good advice for us all.

I must say that I like that they highlighted trans women of color.
