Hello, I'm Dr Stella O'Malley, founder of Genspect.

Genspect promotes a psychological approach to gender dysphoria. We believe people deserve compassionate care that explores the psychological, developmental, and social factors contributing to their distress rather than assuming that medical intervention is the appropriate response.

Through our Beyond Trans initiative, we provide free online support groups for detransitioners, people harmed by medical transition, parents of gender-distressed children, and family members seeking guidance and support. We also maintain an international directory of therapists who offer exploratory, non-medicalised approaches to gender-related issues.

Genspect works with clinicians, researchers, policymakers, journalists, educators, and families across the world. We organise educational events, publish resources, support research, and advocate for approaches that prioritise mental health, informed decision-making, and long-term wellbeing.

Each year, we host Detrans Awareness Day events to ensure that the voices and experiences of detransitioners are heard and understood.

Your donation helps us provide direct support to individuals and families, expand our educational work, develop new research and resources, and promote greater public understanding of gender distress and its treatment.

Thank you for supporting Genspect's work. Your donation helps us provide practical support, develop new resources, and bring a psychological perspective to one of the most important debates of our time.
