Although transition regret and detransition are often dismissed as rare, the increasing number of young detransitioners who have come forward in recent years to publicly share their experiences suggests that there are cracks in the gender-affirmation model of care that can no longer be ignored. In this commentary, I argue that the medical community must find ways to have more open discussions and commit to research and clinical collaboration so that regret and detransition really are vanishingly rare outcomes. Moving forward, we must recognize detransitioners as survivors of iatrogenic harm and provide them with the personalized medicine and supports they require.
尽管人们常常认为转变后后悔和逆转的情况很少见,但近年来越来越多的年轻逆转者站出来公开分享他们的经历,这表明性别肯定护理模式存在无法再被忽视的裂痕。在这篇评论中,我认为医学界必须找到更多开放讨论的方式,并致力于研究和临床合作,这样后悔和逆转的情况才会真正成为罕见的结果。展望未来,我们必须将逆转者视为医源性伤害的幸存者,并为他们提供所需的个性化医疗和支持。
