Over the past decade, we've heard more and more about young people who self-identify as trans (whose gender does not correspond to the one assigned at birth). In order to live in accordance with their gender identity, some young people make a legal, social or medical transition. While most young people seem to be continuing with these transitions, a small proportion say they have or want to "de-transition" or discontinue the transitions they have begun. This phenomenon, although poorly documented in scientific research, is widely reported in social media, blogs and press articles. Rooted in a fluid and intersectional trans-affirmative approach, the study offers a fresh look at the notion of detransition, taking into account the dynamic and fluid aspect of the gender affirmation process, as well as the multiple factors of oppression that can interweave and interact with the experience of young trans people.
