The Detransition Diaries is a documentary film that recounts the stories of three young women, who felt that their trauma and dysphoria would be fixed by trying to medically transition from female to male. Medical professionals, therapists, counselors, and even school officials affirmed that they were indeed ‘trans,’ but only once they started down this path, which promised to offer hope, they each came to realize that they had made a terrible decision.

Letter from the Merit of Awareness Festival:

Congratulations,  Your film The Detransition Diaries: Saving Our Sisters has been chosen as an Merit of Awareness from the 2023 Festival Team.
