Beyond Trans Launches New All-in-One Platform
By Genspect
Unified support for those navigating gender dysphoria, medical transition, and detransition—bringing together individuals, families, and therapists
In 2020, psychotherapist Stella O’Malley founded the Gender Dysphoria Support Network. What began as an online parent group quickly attracted thousands of families seeking balanced information. Soon, individuals questioning their medical transitions and therapists looking for alternatives to automatic affirmation joined the growing community.
This grassroots movement evolved into Genspect in 2021. Recognizing that people experiencing transition regret had nowhere to turn, Genspect launched Beyond Trans in 2022 as a dedicated support service.
Today, we’re proud to unveil the new Beyond Trans—a comprehensive platform bringing together free support groups, daily parent meetings, and our searchable therapist directory, creating the most complete support system available for anyone touched by gender dysphoria, medical transition, or detransition.
Find Your Support Group
We run multiple therapist-facilitated groups each week for anyone navigating gender dysphoria, medical transition, or detransition—all without pressure toward any particular outcome.
- Therapist-facilitated Open Support Group (Saturdays): For people with gender dysphoria, people who identify as trans, people who are ambivalent about their medical transition, people who have been harmed by medical transition, and people who are detransitioning
- Therapist-facilitated Support Group (Sundays): Exclusively for detransitioners
- Women’s Circle (Thursdays): Therapist-facilitated support group for female adults who are questioning or ceasing their medical transition
- Monthly groups: A support group for adults who transitioned as children and a separate support group for adults who transitioned as adults
Connect With Other Parents
Parent support groups meet every weekday, offering structured peer-led meetings where families facing gender dysphoria, medical transition, or detransition connect and share what works.
Available groups include:
- General family support
- Parents of desisters
- Parents in crisis
- Parents of medicalizing children
- Support for estrangement and bereavement
