Spotting Anti-Trans Media Bias on Detransition

While most people who transition are happy with the outcome, a small percentage (likely in the 1 to 3 percent range; detailed below) may later choose to stop their transitions or take steps to retransition back to their birth-assigned gender. These individuals are often referred to as “detransitioners” or “detrans” people, although not everyone identifies with those labels. Their experiences are quite diverse: some detransition for more visceral or personal reasons, while others do so as a result of pressure from family members or societal transphobia; some regret their decisions to transition while others do not; some stop identifying as trans altogether, while others adopt different identities (e.g., nonbinary) and/or continue to participate in trans communities; some detransition permanently, while others may retransition at a later date (<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8213007/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Turban et al., 2021</a>; <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/article-abstract/2794543" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">MacKinnon et al., 2022</a>). <a href="https://juliaserano.medium.com/spotting-anti-trans-media-bias-on-detransition-a9a782a46894">Read More</a>
