Transgender Trauma: A Teenage Detransitioner’ s First-Hand Account 
by Christopher H. Rosik 
 
Jane (not her real name) is a 15-year-old girl who recently detransitioned after several years of pursuing a transgender identity. She expressed a desire to her mother, Kim (also a pseudonym), to share her story with a larger audience and thereby in some way redeem the trauma she has experienced in her encounter with transgender ideology. Since her family was known to me, she reached out through her mother to see if there was a way I could communicate her experiences to others, and the idea for this interview and its placement in the journal was borne. Jane provided this interview, along with her mother’s input, in mid-July of 2024.
