As GOP-controlled legislatures have passed over a dozen bills banning or restricting transition care, people who transitioned and then changed course acted as cautionary tales across conservative media. How stories of regret fuel trans care restrictions:
Elisa Rae Shupe, an Army veteran and the first American to change her legal sex to nonbinary, in Las Vegas, on April 5, 2023.
These activists are fixtures at legislative hearings and rallies. Their experiences have been splashed across conservative media as cautionary tales. In Wyoming, a lawmaker named his bill to ban transition care for minors “Chloe’s Law.” As more American teenagers have identified as transgender, it is difficult to say how many will transition medically — many transgender people do not — and precisely how many will later change course. Methodology, demographics and even the definition of detransition vary widely from study to study, which typically show that between 2% and 13% of people detransition, and not always because of regret.
But many transgender-rights activists and others warn that the outsize emphasis on a minority is distorting the policy debate. Before long, Shupe, a 59-year-old Army veteran, was enmeshed in what she calls a “spider web” of activists opposing transgender rights. It later helped her petition an Oregon court to restore her birth sex and name on legal documents. The petition argued that she was not transgender, but suffered from a sexual perversion that caused “confusion” about her gender.
Shupe also worked closely Walt Heyer, 82, an activist who runs a website for people who regret transitioning and has connected some to conservative activists. Cole, who did not respond to interview requests, is perhaps the best known of the small group of activists who have detransitioned. The list includes Billy Burleigh, who has testified in at least six states; Luka Hein and Prisha Mosley, who have testified in at least five each; and Cat Cattinson, who has testified in at least three.
