A Talk by Kade Goepferd, MD (they/them) (Medical Director of Gender Health, Chief Education Officer)
About this Talk
The topic of “detransition” comes up frequently in anti-trans rhetoric and has become a taboo topic within the queer and trans communities. In this session, Kade Goepferd, MD (they/them), a pediatrician who specializes in essential healthcare for trans and gender diverse youth, breaks down the “detransition” narrative using a developmental understanding of gender identity evolution in youth and young adults while also examining what the evidence shows about those who experience a change in their gender identity and/or treatment decisions over time.
