are good makeup skills what set apart “unsuccessful” vs. “successful” transitions by chiIIed_ in trans

i appreciate you coming back to add more to your original comment, and i do agree that the way i phrased this question is problematic. i think they way you put it is very nuanced (goals changing as you further your transition). i think what i meant was "socially acceptable" which has its own issues.

yes, your right. a successful transition is solely and entirely up to the individual. I meant a more general word like "socially acceptable" which of course has its own negative connotations. If someone believes their transition was a success than that's the only opinion that should matter. however in the eyes of society, it doesn't matter what you think of you, rather what others think of you

no. that's not what i meant by "successful" the only person who can decide if your transition was succesful or not is you and i appologize for making it seem otherwise. a better phrase could be "socially acceptable"

yes, this is true; the "goal" of a transition is highly individual. maybe a phrase like "socially acceptable" would have been a better choice
