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.

Geena Rocero, activist and model
My trans mother Tigerlily always said, "You have to find people who only want the best for you. Once you've found them, do everything you can to nurture that relationship to make it last." Chosen family and community doesn't always need to be 20 or 10 people — sometimes, it only takes one person.
