Cat Cattinson is a detransitioned woman who was featured in our documentary, Affirmation Generation. Cat shares her experience in reclaiming her singing voice after realizing that medicalizing her gender dysphoria was not the right path. For Cat, the loss of her singing voice became the catalyst that led her to detransition. Now, Cat is thriving as a musician again, while serving as the spokesperson for Transition Justice, an organization that helps detransitioners who have been harmed by “gender affirming care.”Cat Cattinson is an activist, detransitioned woman, and spokesperson for Transition Justice, a nonprofit connecting survivors of experimental gender medicine with legal attorneys. After starting to transition in 2019, Cat realized her singing voice, music career, and health were more important to her than masquerading as a man. It took her 2 years to retrain her voice and begin to perform again. Cat is passionate about dispelling myths about detransition and educating the public about the unique challenges that detransitioners face. You can follow Cat’s work on her Twitter, LinkedIn, or on her YouTube channel.
