“…Among TNBY who begin a transition, some will experience a shift in their gender journey (Cohen et al, 2022), or change the course of their gender transition (Durwood et al, 2022). This phenomenon is sometimes called a “detransition.” This refers to discontinuing a gender transition, which Vandenbussche (2022) described as complex to define and poorly understood.…”

“…Some studies have shown that some YDT will return to a cisgender identity, while others will evolve toward a nonbinary or another identity (Cohen et al, 2022; Durwood et al, 2022). In another study, 60% of participants reported returning to a cisgender identity while others reported their identity evolving to something else (Littman, 2021).…”

“…However, the feeling of regret experienced by YDT is less studied and information varies greatly depending on the studies. Some studies have found that regret is rare (Cohen et al, 2022) or nonexistent (Durwood et al, 2022) while some studies have found high levels of regret (Littman, 2021; Vandenbussche, 2022).…”

The idea of "detransition" is stimulating debates among researchers and providers working with trans and nonbinary youth (TNBY), but research on this phenomenon is still in its early stages. This study presents the characteristics and experiences of providers who work directly with TNBY, including some who have discontinued a transition. Sixty-one providers in trans health care were recruited internationally and responded to an online survey. They come from various regions of the world and disciplines and 77% worked according to the trans-affirming approach. Sixty-four percent of them had followed a youth who discontinued their transition. Among those, 82% reported a range of 1-5 youth in their entire career. Professionals reported their observations of discontinuation with regard to the youth's individual characteristics, and parental and social support. The results suggest that professionals had experience with youth who had discontinued regardless of their approach to intervention (e.g., trans-affirming, watchful waiting, or exploratory) and have observed a diversity of characteristics when describing the youth they followed. Public Significance StatementWe found that professionals who have followed trans and nonbinary youth (TNBY) who have since discontinued their gender transition practice according to a range of intervention approaches (trans-affirming, wait and see, or other approaches) and that more than half have over 5 years of experience in trans health care. Observations from their practice show that youth present varied individual characteristics, as well as levels of parental and social support, pointing toward a diversity of experiences and pathways among youth who were followed by the providers. Our results suggest that future research should examine how to best support youth, whatever their gender journey or the outcome, rather than preventing it.
