Many people have asked me to do an episode about autism and detransition. This is obviously a very complicated topic, one that I felt was far above my pay grade to tackle, so I brought on Kinnon MacKinnon from @theDAREstudy to discuss his research into detransition.
Understanding Detransition(s) in Transgender Healthcare
The diversity of detransition experiences in the DARE study
Guest post by Kinnon Ross MacKinnon
New ground-breaking study funded by @SSHRC_CRSH shows 4 different detransition experiences.
Drawing on survey data from 957 participants in the U.S. and Canada, the research reveals that detransition is far from a homogenous experience.

@laura_tee_mdgi Thank you for the opportunity to sit down and talk about detransition research and how it relates to trans medicine and the current political moment.
Later today, I will be releasing my full 80 minute interview with Dr. Kinnon Ross MacKinnon, who is among the world‘s foremost experts on the study of gender detransition
in this interview, i sit down with MacKinnon for an exclusive one-on-one discussion about his research team’s soon to be released study (The DARE Study), which details and evaluates the different personal factors and motivations behind why people who once identified and lived in a gender role different than the one they were born as, choose to go back and live in their original gender roles
we also have a frank discussion about the politics and detransition, and how we should be advising young people about highly consequential health care decision who are presenting with gender identity concerns
Enjoy this short clip, and subscribe to see the full video on release.
