Transitionrelated

Transition-related is an adjective used to describe topics, services, or phenomena associated with a transition process. The term appears across domains, notably in medical, social, legal, and organizational contexts.

In social and medical settings, transition-related topics often concern gender transition, including social transition (name, pronouns, appearance) and medical care (hormone therapy, surgeries). In policy and education, transition-related supports refer to accommodations and legal recognition. In organizations and technology, transition-related issues describe changes from one state to another, such as organizational change, system upgrades, or software state transitions. In research literature, transition-related variables may include readiness, outcomes, stigma, mental health, and access to services. The term is descriptive and context-dependent, with no single standardized definition.

When using the term, clarity is important: specify the domain (healthcare, social, policy, technology), the aspect of transition (social, legal, medical, technical), and the population or system involved. See also: transition, gender-affirming care, change management, state machine transitions.
