Here's a recent presentation from the DARE study!

Kinnon and a few of the DARE study team members recently gave a webinar called "Gender Fluidity and Detransition Among 2SLGBTQ+ Young People"

For some people, sexuality and gender can be fluid and not something that necessarily stays the same forever.

Young people may experience their sexuality and gender identity in different ways at different moments in their lives. For some, this can include processes like detransition (someone who experiences a shift in identity after an initial gender transition) and retransition (someone chooses to transition again later).

Provided through the organization YouthRex (Youth Research and Evaluation Exchange), our recent webinar explored brand-new research and care guidance to support 2SLGBTQ+ young people with fluid gender identities and expressions. Aimed at a general audience of youth care workers, we explored critical insights and inclusive approaches to better support gender-fluid and detrans 2SLGBTQ+ youth with experiences of detransition/retransition.

Presenters included Kinnon R. MacKinnon, MSW, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Social Work, York University & Principal Investigator, DARE Study; MacGregor Goodman, Research Assistant, DARE Study & MSW Student, York University; Ari Para, Research Assistant, DARE Study & PhD Student in Education, York University; and Madeline Rosen, Research Assistant, DARE Study & researcher focused on healthcare and social needs of people with experiences of detransition.

Because this was aimed at a generalist audience, it went light on study methodology. For more information about how the DARE study was designed, and how we obtained the sample, please check out:
