Sign in to saveAlso known as retransition, detransitioning, gender detransition
Detransition is the cessation or reversal of a transgender identification or of gender transition, temporarily or permanently, through social, legal, and/or medical means. This process may be based on a number of reasons, including a shift in gender identity, health concerns, social or economic pressure such as trans healthcare bans, discrimination, stigma, political beliefs, or religious beliefs. The estimated prevalence of detransition varies depending on definitions and methodology but is generally found to be rare.

Detransition is the cessation or reversal of a transgender identification or of gender transition, temporarily or permanently, through social, legal, and/or medical means. This process may be based on a number of reasons, including a shift in gender identity, health concerns, social or economic pressure such as trans healthcare bans, discrimination, stigma, political beliefs, or religious beliefs. The estimated prevalence of detransition varies depending on definitions and methodology but is generally found to be rare.
Some studies use the term retransition rather than detransition, but the term is more commonly used to describe the resumption of transition or transgender identity following a detransition. Some organizations with ties to conversion therapy have used detransition narratives to push transphobic rhetoric and legislation.
