This webinar will draw attention to unmet needs relating to iatrogenic harm to sexual function for individuals who have a history of transgender identity and have received medical interventions that they later regret. Some of them choose to socially and medically detransition. In addition there are individuals who may similarly regret their medical transitions, but do not feel they are able to socially or medically detransition. Grief is a normal reaction to a range of irreversible sexual side effects that are experienced as a form of medical trauma that many feel they were inadequately prepared for and had not anticipated. Dr. Anllo will draw from the available research on detransition, personal accounts by detransitioners, and her clinical work with cancer survivors to make the comparison to the experience of coping with unanticipated and unacknowledged grief associated with iatrogenic harms of cancer treatment on sexual function. Much like cancer survivors, detransitioners who have shared their stories publicly report that they often struggle alone with significant trauma associated with loss of sexual function that is not routinely recognized within the medical or mental healthcare system. They deserve to be offered compassionate and trauma-informed care that is not currently accessible to them due to multiple barriers to care that will be highlighted. Dr. Anllo will make the case that psychosexual recovery is a long-term process that will not restore what has been lost, but nonetheless can be facilitated via access to culturally informed and existentially focused psychotherapy to promote post-traumatic growth and healing.
