Nele and Ellie identified as transmen in their teens. Both are now reidentifying as female.

Nele and Ellie are detransitioners too. In their early 20s, they were brought up as girls, and began to identify as transmen in their teens. To present as more masculine, both took testosterone and had their breasts removed in double mastectomy surgery. Connecting online, these two young women are now supporting each other to re-identify as female.

The Documentary: The Detransitioners

Unique transgender journeys from he2she2he, and from she2he2she.

Unique transgender journeys from he2she2he, and from she2he2she…  Detransitioners are people who once identified as trans, but have returned to the gender they were assigned at birth.  Some may also re-identify as non-binary or gender-fluid.  There are no figures revealing how many people reverse or change their gender journeys – we only know that more people are telling their stories.
