Detransitioners Speak Out at CMA’s Annual Educational Conference

September 8, 2024 5:44 pm

Friday, September 6 was a powerful and sobering day for attendees at the Catholic Medical Association’s 93rd Annual Educational Conference as they heard from seven brave young adults who have been irreversibly harmed and regret their sex transition. Two panel sessions hosted by CMA members Drs. Patrick Hunter and Carla Falco allowed for all guests to tell their stories.

CMA’s decision to invite detransitioners to speak at this year’s conference shows the commitment by CMA leadership to recognize and provide care to those harmed by these common practices. CMA President Dr. Michelle Stanford, emphasizes the urgent need for the medical community to acknowledge the reality of detransition and the associated harms, stating, “Health care professionals must listen to these experiences, confront the ethical crisis at hand, provide support to those who have suffered, and take action to safeguard others from future harm.”

To that end, CMA is offering the full, unedited, afternoon panel session recording, accessible by clicking on the photo, so that these first-hand accounts can reach others in the medical community and anyone who cares about children and young adults suffering with gender dysphoria and other mental health issues.
