There are several societal biases and stigmas that may discourage people from openly discussing their detransition experiences. One major barrier is the misconception that detransition is a failure or a sign of regret, which can lead to judgment and invalidation of individuals' experiences. There is also a lack of understanding and acceptance of the fluidity and complexity of gender identity, which can result in skepticism or disbelief towards detransition narratives. Additionally, detransitioners may face backlash from both within the LGBTQ+ community and from anti-trans groups, further isolating them and making it difficult to share their stories openly. The fear of being misunderstood, criticized, or ostracized can prevent individuals from seeking support and sharing their detransition experiences with others.
