The 12-Month Transition Test
Coming soon
The Pre-Transition Test: A 12-Month Reality Check is a practical, experience based guide for anyone questioning their gender identity - or supporting someone who is.Written and self published by Faith Hockney, a woman who transitioned in her thirties after decades of private cross-dressing, philosophical inquiry, and careful preparation. This book offers a structured “reality check” before making irreversible decisions.Drawing on her own post-surgical reflections and mostly written while recovering from full-depth vaginoplasty.Hockney argues that too many people today rush into transition amid social media influence, peer contagion, and cultural pressure, without first testing whether their feelings are truly innate or may shaped by external noise.At its core the test comprises of four non-negotiable rules to complete over a full “Clean Year”:Rule 1: The Clean Year - a complete break from porn, cross-dressing, substances and echo-chamber communities to see what remains when the noise is stripped away.Rule 2: Real Risks - honest confrontation of medical realities, fertility loss, lifelong health consequences, and the societal/historical dangers of becoming permanently visible in a world where public opinion can swing dramatically (explored in the chapter “Society’s Pendulum”).Rule 3: Genuine Self-Awareness - meditation, mindfulness, body reconnection, and deep reflection to separate true self from coping mechanisms.Rule 4: A Solid Belief System - building (or strengthening) a coherent personal philosophy or “theory of everything” so that peace does not depend on body modification.Packed with journal prompts, tracking logs and appendices. Including self awareness practices, templates and further research resources, the book guides readers through rigorous self examination rather than immediate affirmation.Whether you ultimately transition or not, this is a pro-reality tool to ensure the decision is made with eyes wide open. Ideal for questioning individuals, parents, partners, therapists, and anyone tired of rushed narratives.Content note: Discusses gender dysphoria, medical transition risks, mental health, societal pressures and the author’s personal post-transition experiences. Not medical advice.
