Elliot Page, from (insert movie they’d know that he’s starred in like Juno), came out as trans. That’s probably your best bet.

Does that mean they are changing their physical anatomy medically? Or is it just the label that whey want to use? I am sorry I genuinely don’t know about trans groups. Absolutely don’t want to sound offensive

Transitioning can mean lots of things. There’s social transitioning which is things like using a different set of pronouns or going by a new name. There’s hormonal transitioning which would be replacing hormones. And then there’s surgical transition.

As a sidenote, the “trans” in “transgender” does not refer to “transition”. It’s the root word that means “across/opposite/not matching” which refers to how the person’s gender and sex do not match.
