Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult

Trans activists advocate for the freedom to express one’s identity—unless you regret your transition and decide to return to your original gender. Questioning gender ideology is highly discouraged, often met with silence or backlash. However, a powerful new book, Detrans, breaks this silence by featuring multiple interviews with detransitioners, giving a voice to those who have reconsidered their transitions. Their testimonies, including details from lawsuits filed against medical and therapeutic professionals who treated them, are unforgettable.

During “Gay Pride Month” each June, there is an unquestioning celebration of not only lesbians, gays, and bisexuals but also those undergoing transitions. Yet, the experiences of detransitioners reveal a complexity and pain that is rarely acknowledged.

The number of teens and pre-teens convinced they were born in the wrong body has skyrocketed. Influenced by a toxic online community and supported by teachers, doctors, and even parents, these young individuals are quickly set on a path of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible “gender-affirming” surgeries.

While the media and activists often portray transitioning as a happy ending, countless young people are left with severe emotional and physical scars. Adding to their suffering, the transgender community that once welcomed them now seeks to silence their stories.

In Detrans, fearless reporter Mary Margaret Olohan shares these hidden narratives. Through in-depth personal interviews, the book exposes the shocking abuse detransitioners have endured—manipulative therapy sessions, profound mental and emotional distress, botched surgeries, and the attempts to construct phantom body parts. Their stories reveal disturbing truths that transgender activists desperately try to conceal.

Detrans is essential evidence of the life-altering impact of gender ideology, shining a light on the often overlooked and painful realities of detransitioning.
