Gender detransition refers to the temporary or permanent process of stopping/reversing a gender transition. This may include reversing social, legal, or medial changes to, once again, align with one’s sex assigned at birth. Motivations behind detransition can include changes in gender identity, health complications, and even external pressures. In general, detransition is rare.

Understanding Gender Detransition
Gender detransition refers to either stopping or reversing a prior gender transition. This could include stopping the use of hormones, seeking corrective surgery, or resuming prior gender identity.
Gender detransition cases may arise when an individual is harmed due to some of the following:
- Failure to provide informed consent
- Inadequate psychological evaluation prior to treatments/procedures
- Misdiagnosis or other medical negligence
- Improper prescribing or administering of hormones or blockers
- Surgical malpractice
- Lack of post-op care
Ultimately, if an individual experienced anything during their medical care that resulted in harm, they may have valid grounds for a gender detransition lawsuit.
