The Next Chapter: A Panel Discussion of Detransitioners in Santa Fe

This will be the third panel discussion in our series continuing to elevate more and more voices of "detransitioners" moving forward.

An increasing number of women and men are moving forward after spending significant time identifying as “transgender.” Name and pronoun changes, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries have had a profound effect on their lives. While the label of “detransitioner” is commonly used to describe them, the term is a misnomer: there is no way to reverse time or the impacts of these psychologically, socially, and physically life-changing experiences. They are moving forward with their lives, and after sharing their personal stories in other places and platforms, it’s time to hear more from Chloe, Soren, Laura, and Nicolas, and more panelists to be announced soon.

After the success of our first panel discussion in Wisconsin and our second in the Chicago area on June 5, we will be headed to Santa Fe on September 12 as Partners for Ethical Care will host “The Next Chapter: Moving Forward with Insights and Inspiration,” a moderated panel discussion centering the voices of detransitioners. Through the unique experience of detransition, these men and women  have grown in ways that they never intended or imagined. We hope that you’ll be there with us to listen, ask questions, and support their healing and growth.

We invite you to hear their insights and be inspired by their voices!
