Project Summary:

The Re/DeTrans Canada study is a qualitative, interview-based study led by Dr. Kinnon MacKinnon (Assistant Professor, School of Social Work, York University). The project seeks to build knowledge and supports for detransitioners, retransitioners, people who stop transitioning, and those who experience shifts in gender identity after initiating a gender transition. The full research team is composed of Drs. Alex Abramovich, Hannah Kia, Travis Salway, Ashley Lacombe-Duncan, Lori Ross, along with PhD candidate, Florence Ashley and research assistant, Gabriel Enxuga

Project Description:

Our study objective is to examine how people experience shifts in gender identity, transition and detransition processes (social, legal, medical), and overall healthcare needs. We also aim to develop better guidance for care providers who work with trans, detransitioned, and other gender diverse populations who change the direction of their gender transitions. This project is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (Insight Development).
