detransitioning
Reversing gender transition
Detransitioning is the process of reversing or halting a gender transition, returning toward one's birth sex after having socially or medically transitioned.
This may involve stopping hormone therapy, pursuing reversal surgeries, or simply readopting a former name and pronouns.
People detransition for various reasons—changed understanding of their identity, regret, health concerns, or social pressure: She detransitioned after five years on testosterone.
