Genspect

Genspect is an international alliance of professional groups, parents, trans people, detransitioners, and others who advocate for better models of care in respect of those who are considering transition, have regretted transition, and those who are going through the detransition process. Genspect reunites 19 different organisations in 17 countries. Genspect are opposed to the 'Affirmative approach' which they define as a therapeutic and medical approach which argues that adults and children, no matter what age, should be encouraged to transition into their self-reported gender identity. Genspect argue for a Developmental approach which they define as a therapeutic and medical approach which argues that many factors (biological, psychological and social) can lead an individual to experience distress around gender.
