Narratives of Adults Registered Female at Birth Who Started a Medical Transition and Later Detransitioned
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This qualitative study explored the experiences of six transgender women in the UK who detransitioned after medically transitioning to male. Participants described several unmet expectations about resolving dysphoria and raised concerns about the long-term health impacts of medical transition. They also discussed the social impact of transition on their identity, political views, and relationships, which sometimes involved shifting identifications with women or feminist values. Detransitioning was an ongoing process, involving a complex mix of emotions, and some participants found support and connection through online communities.

Detransitioning can be an ongoing, emotional process involving regret or acceptance, and may involve a re-evaluation of gender identity and expression.
