Gender identity transition is when an individual experiences gender dysphoria, that persuades them to change their lives to fit into their gender identity. National immigration is an identity change because one has to adapt to a new society and these norms can vary across national context. Adoption is an identity change as well because one has to explore alternative features and coming to terms that one is adopted.
