About
Transgender Transition Timelines are photos and videos showing the process of changing from one sex to another, either by crossdressing or actual surgery and hormonal therapy. They generally document the entire transition from the beginning to the current day, though some may only use before and after pictures.
Origin
The practice and lifestyle has been around for a very long time and displaying the earliest records of trans existence chronologically is virtually impossible but it goes as far back as ancient times and was found all over the world throughout history. Yet even so, only around 2006 did it start to get popular to show your progress and final outcome to the world.
It is most popular on Tumblr, Pinterest, and Reddit, where it has over
12000 followers, It also has many dedicated sites solely for this process, and showing before and after photos along with education of how it all works. There are also sites dedicated to the crossdressing and drag community with help on makeup and cloths.
Spread
Although the trans lifestyle has been around a long time, it was not till the 30s that surgery really started to further complete the process. And not till the 2000s that people really started to share the over all procees from beginning to end.

Elbe was born in Denmark as Einar Mogens Wegener and was a successful artist under that name. She also presented as Lili, sometimes spelled Lily, and publicly was introduced as Einar’s sister.
Christine Jorgensen
(May 30, 1926 – May 3, 1989) was an American trans woman who was the first person to become widely known in the United States for having sex reassignment surgery. Jorgensen grew up in the Bronx, New York City. Shortly after graduating from high school in 1945, she was drafted into the U.S. Army for World War II. After her service she attended several schools, worked, and around this time heard about transitioning surgery. She traveled to Europe and in Copenhagen, Denmark, obtained special permission to undergo a series of operations starting in 1951.
