Detransition is the cessation or reversal of a transgender identification or of gender transition, temporarily or permanently, through social, legal, and/or medical means.[1] The term is distinct from the concept of 'regret', and the decision may be based on a number of reasons, including a shift in gender identity, health concerns, social or economic pressure, discrimination, stigma,[2] political beliefs,[3] or religious beliefs.[4]
Some studies use the term retransition rather than detransition.[5] Retransition is also commonly used to describe the resumption of transition or transgender identity following a detransition.[6]
The estimated prevalence of detransition varies depending on definitions and methodology, with estimates ranging from 1% to 8%.[7] There is uncertainty around estimates due to methodological limitations.[6] Formal studies of detransition have been few in number,[8] politically controversial,[9] and inconsistent in the way they characterize the phenomenon.[10] Professional interest in the phenomenon has been met with contention, and some scholars have argued there is censorship around the topic.[11]
Some former detransitioners regret detransitioning and choose to retransition later.[5][not in body] Some organizations with ties to conversion therapy have used detransition narratives to push transphobic rhetoric and legislation.[12]

The absence of systematic research around detransition has given rise to inconsistencies in its conceptual use and application, adding to the unclarity and confusion.
