Weaving Stories with Science
A critical qualitative examination into people’s experiences of gender detransition/retransition in Canada
No events to show
Description
Qualitative methodologies provide us with empirical tools to amplify patients’ stories, and to redress epistemic injustice in health sciences research. But what if patients’ stories of rare medical events bear the risk of being misattributed to the aggregate population? This presentation will illustrate the value of critical social science into gender detransition/retransition—an understudied and misunderstood outcome of gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary people. It will bring to light divergent stories shared by 28 people who discontinued or shifted the trajectory of their gender transition due to discovering a new understanding of their sex or gender identity. The objective of this presentation is to address epistemic injustice in gender-affirming care research and to weave together empiricism, storytelling, and science. Implications for health professions education will be discussed.
Best Practice in Education Rounds (BPER) are co-hosted by the Centre for Faculty Development, The Wilson Centre and the Centre for Interprofessional Education.
Our Best Practice in Education Rounds (BPER) are accredited group learning activities as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. They are also accredited group learning activities as defined by the College of Family Physicians and Surgeons.
