Negotiating Transgender Identity In Torrey Peter’s Detransition, Baby

---

Transgender is a term used to describe individuals whose gender identity differs
from the biological sex they were assigned at birth. Transgender identity is complex
and influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, and the
individual's life experiences. This research discusses the negotiation of transgender
identity depicted in Torrey Peter's novel Detransition, Baby. This research used
Judith Butler's Gender Performativity theory using a qualitative descriptive method
along with note-taking as a research instrument. The findings highlight Reese's
conviction in identifying herself as a woman, a transwoman, showcasing the fluid
and complex nature of gender identity. Ames' detransition journey involves
transitioning between genders and displaying various masculine and feminine traits,
emphasizing the fluidity of gender and challenging established social norms.
Additionally, interactions among characters also demonstrate the complexity of
gender roles. The researcher concludes that a deeper understanding of the complex
experiences of transgender identities and individual transgender journeys aligns
with Judith Butler's concepts of gender performativity.
