The Checkup with Doctor Mike

CHAPTER

Exploring Gender Identity, Dysphoria, and Detransitioning

The chapter discusses the impact of upbringing on gender identity, societal changes influencing gender exploration in children, and challenges faced by transgender individuals due to historical lack of visibility. It also delves into gender dysphoria, societal stigma's role in negative mental health outcomes, psychotherapy's limitations in managing dysphoria, and complexities surrounding detransitioning. The conversation addresses biases in transgender healthcare studies, concerns of gaslighting in trans identity discussions, and the rarity of cases where gender identity is solely influenced by internalized misogyny or trauma.
