Generazione D
GenerAzioneD is an Italian cultural association that disseminates information about gender dysphoria and gender incongruence in children, adolescents and young adults. The association was founded by parents of young people who, according to their parents, often began identifying as transgender virtually overnight. It is now open to anyone with a personal or professional connection to the subject.
The main article on this subject is Generazione D — Italian association critical of gender care for young people.
What you can find
The Italian-language website features personal testimonies, news, translated articles from Italy and abroad, contributions from experts and a press roundup. The association also maintains an overview of scientific studies and collects clinical guidelines from various countries. This complements the overview of policies by country.
Why it is on this list
GenerAzioneD is an Italian source on this subject and takes a critical view of the rapid medical treatment of young people. It is a parents’ association with its own point of view, not a scientific institute.
Who is behind it
GenerAzioneD describes itself as a non-profit cultural association with no ties to a political party and no religious basis. The founders are parents who have in common that their child began identifying as transgender. The names of board members or founders do not appear on the page about the association, nor is there any information about its founding year or an overview of its income. Anyone interested can become a member, subscribe to the newsletter or make contact by email. The association states that its aim is to promote openness and an informed, constructive discussion of the subject.
Topics and viewpoints
The site is organised around several recurring sections: a page with questions and answers about gender dysphoria, a section on detransition, a database containing all the studies collected and a news section. The latter is divided into testimonies, scientific analysis, guidelines from around the world, contributions from experts and a press roundup. In terms of content, it often addresses the risks of affirming treatment, influence from peers and the social environment, puberty blockers and the experiences of people who have reversed their transition. In October 2026, these included an article by Alessandra Arachi about young children and a guide to writing about sex and gender.
How to use this source
GenerAzioneD’s value lies in its Italian translations and press roundup, which allow you to follow how the subject is discussed in Italy. See also gender care in Italy. The selection is one-sided: the association chooses articles that support its concerns. When consulting studies and guidelines, therefore, refer to the original publication. The testimonies of parents and young people are personal stories and say nothing about numbers.
