Episode notes
High Satisfaction with Gender-Affirming Care
- Recent studies show very low rates of youth detransition and high satisfaction with gender-affirming care.
- Social stigma strongly influences detransitioning rather than medical treatment failure.
Uncertainty in Detransition Rates
- High loss-to-follow-up in studies impairs certainty about detransition rates.
- Without tracking patients, detransition rates remain unknown.

- Most major US and Canadian medical associations support gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers.
- However, support is often conditional on informed consent and assessment procedures.
