Abstract:
When a person openly “regrets” their gender transition or “detransitions” this bolsters within the medical community an impression that transgender and non-binary (trans) people require close scrutiny when seeking hormonal and surgical interventions. Despite the low prevalence of “regretful” patient experiences, and scant empirical research on “detransition”, these rare transition outcomes profoundly organize the gender-affirming medical care enterprise. In this study, we examined routine gender-affirming care clinical assessment practices from clinicians and trans patients perspectives.
