This is interesting, but I think the significance of it is unclear from the article. I can't tell if carers have experienced trans patient's being distressed by the gender identity assigned to them or if it is more about trans patient's not remembering the specific changes and disclosures. A trans patient may be confused about no longer having his penis, but also delighted by it. Or alternatively, a trans patient may be confused and agitated by having a body that no longer fits what he remembers.

But if there are patients who are actually reverting back to identifying with their biological sex, to me, that would be be significant.
