  Transformation - WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia
Transformation or TF for short, is, in the furry fandom, a synonym for metamorphosis and shapeshifting, as in the stories featured on the Transformation Stories Archive.
Because of that well known archive, it has become a very common term, and many people who are interested in shapeshifting refer to themselves as "transformation fans" also known as TF fans.
Transformation is sometimes confused with TG (transgender) transformations, though some consider the latter a subset of the genre.

  Transformation Stories Archive - Biocrawler
In some, an unexpected but welcome transformation (especially various forms of lycanthropy) plays a thematic role similar to the plot device of the protagonist being a commoner who finds out they are actually royal, or have unsuspected magical talent, or have some other wonderful secret destiny.
In others, a transformation imposed from without by a hostile entity is a challenge to be overcome; the protagonist seeks a way to reverse the transformation and regain their original form.
The archive has a high proportion of transgender and furry wish-fulfillment stories because they were the most numerous at the time of its creation.

 "Vanishing Transformation", by Mike Brotzman
There is definitely a transformation in there, it might be mentioned or have occurred in the past or have occurred to others, but it is not a focus of the story and it does not drive the story.
And, since the actual transformation is rapid and generally occurs whilst the victim is unconscious or incapacitated, it forces you to write about the consequences of the transformation, instead of just transporn.
Transformations aren't very real, of course, but when writing a transformation story it helps to make the transformation appear to be real, and the appearance of realism is exactly what 'verisimilitude' is. People don't just transform for no reason.

Usually, the animal involved in the transformation is indigenous to or prevalent in the area from which the story derives.
Many children have animal transformation fantasies and shapeshifting is a well-known feature of fairy tales.

 Is Rumsfeld bored or tired? - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine
Of all the weapons systems that could help achieve his beloved transformation, he proposes to kill one of the most useful: the C-17 cargo-transport aircraft.
"Transformation," an idea that started percolating in the Pentagon in the early 1990s and that Rumsfeld endorsed with great enthusiasm soon after he entered office in 2001, has essentially two elements.
First is the idea that advanced technology, super-accurate munitions, and strategies that emphasize maneuver more than mass allow the military to fight and win wars with far fewer soldiers.

 The Demian-SteppenWolf-Siddharta connection ... - Herman Hesse Forum Archive
This transformation comes as a sort of awakening of the understanding, the mind is released from the simple and orderly world in which it had dwelled and shown the vast depths of the world that surrounds this old paradise.
Through another transformative act, this formerly piece-meal understanding of the world is brought together into a meaningful unity, returning the character to a meaningful existence- but on a fundamentally higher level now.
Once the unity of the original state is broken by the first transformative act, it is impossible for that vision to be forgotten by the character.

 Nubank.com - Story Archive - The Transformation of Banking and Its Impact on Consumers and Small Businesses
Others argue that the changes will end up hurting many communities, especially smaller ones, because the large organizations created by mergers will be uninterested in serving small customers and will siphon off funds from smaller markets to lend in big cities.
To shed light on the debate, this article focuses on the two groups that are most likely to be affected by the transformation of banking—consumers and small businesses.
The article concludes that the recent changes in banking are likely to benefit consumers and small businesses in most communities, as long as they remain free to choose between small and large banks for their banking services.
