Trans is a harp concerto written in 2015 by the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. The work was commissioned by the Suntory Foundation for Arts, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Radio France, and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony. The world premiere was performed by the harpist Xavier de Maistre and the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ernest Martínez Izquierdo at Suntory Hall, Tokyo.
“Based on this review, there is an extremely low prevalence of regret in transgender patients after GAS.

However, there is high subjectivity in the assessment of regret and lack of standardized questionnaires, which highlight the importance of developing validated questionnaires in this population.”
“Sexual dysfunctions among trans men and women were very common among the various treatment groups and were unrelated to intentions to have further genital treatment. Although medical treatment may be helpful or even essential to developing good sexual health, a significant group of trans persons experienced sexual dysfunctions after genital surgery.”
“Clinical guidelines for medical affirmation of persons who identify as TGD suggest that the rate of “de-transition” among postpubertal adolescents and adults is rare, but few studies have assessed the actual rate of treatment discontinuation.”
“Transsexuals for whom gender identity is something different from and perhaps irrelevant to physical genitalia are occulted by those for whom the power of the medical/psychological establishments, and their ability to act as gatekeepers for cultural norms, is the final authority for what counts as a culturally intelligible body.”
“Lack of family support was also associated with a history of detransition, which is of particular concern, given the strong association between familial nonacceptance and suicidality.”
“I feel like trans culture is just so obsessed with reassuring ourselves that we’re valid, that we sometimes forget that the end goal of a political movement is not validity, it’s equality.”
