Detransition
Dr. Lisa Littman’s groundbreaking research into the motivations and experiences of de-transitioners offers insight for anyone considering a “gender transition” or detransitioning, as well as for those who love them.
A study by German researcher Elie Vandenbussche explores the self-described needs of detransitioners and the lack of appropriate medical and psychological care available for them. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33929297/ [Vandenbussche E.
