While no one handbook can guide someone through every unexpected moment when transitioning — even, ahem, ones that come close — we can look to those who've been there before and learn from them. The Cut asked models, activists, artists, influencers, and more to share the advice, mantras, and support that helped them during their own transitions.

Emira D'Spain, first Black transgender Victoria's Secret model
"No rain, no flowers." Bad days are inevitable, but so are great ones. Transitioning is a long journey that is going to have its ups and downs, but that's the beauty of it. To all of my young trans people, the good days are coming. It'll all work out, I promise."

Naomi Hearts, @naomiheartsxo on TikTok
"There is no right or wrong way to be trans." People often feel that trans people need to look a certain way or do certain things — like medically transition — to be trans. That is not the case. At the end of the day, to be trans is who you are at the core, and nothing and no one can change that.

Isis King, model
"The journey is a lifelong one." It takes a lot of effort and courage to be who we are as trans people and to live our lives every day. Enjoy the process."
