Transgender Detransition Is on the Rise

In 2017, Dr. Kinnon MacKinnon, an assistant professor of social work at York University in Toronto, thought that transgender detransitioning wasn't really a thing. Sure, a few people who undergo gender-affirming therapy halt or undo their medical interventions and re-identify as their birth sex, but they are so few in number that their experiences don't even merit study. After all, doing so might provide empirical firepower to anti-trans forces, he reasoned.
