A growing number of “transgender” people, though once sure they wanted to live as the opposite sex, now wish they'd never had their bodies surgically altered.
"You fundamentally can't change sex.... Transsexualism was invented by psychiatrists." These are not the words of a conservative organization or a fundamentalist preacher, but of former "transsexual" Alan Finch.
Having decided to "transition from male to female" at age 19, the Australian man later regretted the life-rending move and chose to once again live as his true sex approximately 15 years later. And he's not alone.

writes:
Everyone has regrets. Some of us have big regrets. Most everyone has some place to go to get help dealing with them.
Except for, say, a guy who had sex-change surgery and now would like to have his penis back. (The one God gave him.)
Morabito goes on to cite a poll showing that even 65 percent of people who've had cosmetic surgery - which is relatively minor body alteration - later regret the decision. As she writes, quoting Courtney Love on her lip enhancement procedure, "I just want the mouth God gave me back."
Yet many regretful "transsexuals" are afraid to open their mouths. Writing about how the scope of "transgender" de-transition desires is hidden, Morabito writes,
"The transgender lobby actively polices and suppresses discussion of sex-change regret, and claims it's rare (no more than "5 percent.") [sic]. However, if you do decide to 'de-transition' to once again identify with the sex in your DNA, talking about it
will get you targeted by trans activists." This is reminiscent of how the homosexual lobby has viciously attacked grown children of same-sex couples all because these people now oppose same-sex child-rearing, which
The New American reported on earlier this month.
Comment: This is the natural result of being obsessed with victim status and race.
