Summary
Before turning to some theological accounts in Chapter 3, we take an excursus here into the phenomenon of so-called detransition, significant because its existence is a catalyst for much ethical concern about the enormity and permanence of the decisions that those who go through medical and surgical transition are making. It also sets up some questions about permanence, regret, and reality that will remain significant across the book.
