I realize different people will draw different conclusions about the people who make the difficult decision to go back. I just feel you should see the stories of those who regret their transition. Even more stories are available in the book, Trans Life Survivors, available in the bookstore. Alexis Arquette![]() Even well-known and talented transgender individuals with a full life, embraced and accepted, go back to presenting as their birth sex. From an article at The Hollywood Reporter: In 2013, amid increasing health complications, Alexis began presenting herself as a man again, telling [her close friend] Ibrahim that “’gender is bullshit.’ That ‘putting on a dress doesn't biologically change anything. Nor does a sex-change.’ She said that ‘sex-reassignment is physically impossible. All you can do is adopt these superficial characteristics but the biology will never change.’” That realization, Ibrahim suspects, was the likely source of her deep wells of emotional torment. Chelsea going back after 7 years![]() Seven years ago, Matthew, a male drag queen, became Chelsea. Now Chelsea wants to become Matthew again. In the article published Oct. 1, 2014, Chelsea says: 'I have always longed to be a woman, but no amount of surgery can give me an actual female body and I feel like I am living a lie.

'I have realised it would be easier to stop fighting the way I look naturally and accept that I was born a man physically.'" You can read the account at Daily Mail UK.

But now, after hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery, he believes it has all been a mistake. At the age of 52, Mr Bate now says he was never anything other than a man and has called for more support for people questioning their gender. Mr Bate said he would have been better off if he had counselling to help him become more comfortable with the body he was born in. "I would've been helped more by what you could call 'tough love'," he said. "I was very gender confused, and I latched on to the idea of 'transexual' because I thought that must apply to who I am. "In the absence of any other information, that was what I was running with, but if I'd got the different information, and more support the other way I'm sure I would've been open to questioning. "I'm not saying it would've been easy."

The practice is gaining traction without any scientific proof that it is appropriate or effective, and despite the evidence that it can be harmful:
Given these facts, why would anyone inject these drugs into children? Doctors and parents want to help the child cope with the distress he or she is experiencing. Is relief of adolescent distress really worth the risk? Most will grow out of the dysphoria. Isn't there some way to work through the distress than experimenting on our children?

The Belgrade Center for Genital Reconstructive Surgery says that they have received requests for reversal surgery. If sex change regret is so rare, why are so many requesting reversal surgery?

AZF a, b and C are genes for male infertility. Transsexuals do not even have a smidgeon of abnormality there. The DAX1 and androgen receptor genes were theorized to cause transsexualism since they can lead to intersex and can turn a person with a normal Y chromosome into a XY woman.
