Transgender teens share their gender transition journey on social media

Transgender people are increasingly using the power of social media in order to gain acceptance in society. After ‘coming out’ videos, here’s another pro-LGBT rights trend that has won the Internet. Transgender teens are using the hashtag #MomentsInTransition in order to visually document their journey towards getting their desired gender.

Transgender teens are posting photos of themselves – before and after their gender transition – on social media sites like Twitter and Instagram in an attempt to build their self-confidence and encourage other transgender people to share their own experiences online as well. Teenagers are sharing pictures of themselves before and after making important changes about their appearances like haircuts to even hormone therapy and surgery.

The movement has not only become popular in the online transgender community but is also garnering support from non-trans social media users as well.
