EPISODE 77 - Desistance Part I: Accepting Reality Then vs Now

Quick Notes:

This is part 1 of a 2-part series on desistance. The difference between desistance and detransition is quite stark and in this episode Sasha and Stella focus on the complex experience of desistance. How might a child come to desist? What facilitates or hinders this process, and what complicated feelings go along with this experience? Sasha and Stella also discuss the changes that have arisen in recent years and how compared to previous generations, society today responds very differently to children with gender dysphoria. In the next episode on desistance, EP 80, Sasha and Stella will help answer the question: how can I tell if my ROGD child may be desisting?
