DETRANS HELP
RESOURCES FOR DETRANSITIONERS
/01
What is Detrans Help?
Detrans Help is a non-profit by detransitioners, for detransitioners. Our mission is to raise the alarm on the current state of “gender affirming care” and ensure detransitioners have access to the resources they need.
When ideology is placed above objectivity in our medical system, innocent people are harmed. Due to the poor quality of research into gender “medicine”, the number of detransitioners is unclear, but Detrans Help knows our population is quickly growing.
We serve detransitioners worldwide, as medical malpractice transcends local and national borders.

Why the Salamander?
When a salamander loses its tail, it regrows a new one. Detransitioners have adopted this creature as a symbol of their own emotional growth after loss. Like the salamander, detransitioners are resilient survivors.

Advocates
Detransitioners for Detransitioners
Camille Kiefel
A detransitioner who believed a non-binary double mastectomy would finally provide relief where 20 years of talk therapy hadn’t, Camille lives with physical health issues from the surgery. She found the cause of her discomforts lay in the state of her physical health all along, overlooked by medical professionals. Through improved diet, bodywork, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, her mental health improved.
Camille is a pathfinder: Mental and physical health are connected. In an arena dominated by medical institutions and their bottom line. Instead of risky, experimental and life-altering treatments, she advocates for starting from the physical fundamentals of health.
Camille has filed the first U.S. legal case against the mental health professionals who signed off on her non-binary double mastectomy.
