Testimony of Children Who De-transition

The stories of kids who decide to detransition, or go back to living as the gender they were born, show how hard it can be to figure out who you really are. These kids often talk about feeling rushed to make big changes, like taking medicine or having surgeries, before they fully understood what it would mean for their future. They often say they wish they had gotten more support and time to think things through. Listening to their experiences can help adults understand how important it is to give kids a safe space to talk about their feelings, get counseling, and explore other ways to feel better without making choices they might regret later.
