Trouble In Transtopia: Murmurs Of Sex Change RegretTransgender people who regret their sex changes typically get buried in venom rather than loved.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.)Our culture seems pretty much “to each his own†when it comes to elective bodily mutilation and the regret thereof. And there’s a lot of regret out there. According to a British poll, a whopping 65 percent of those who’ve had various cosmetic surgeries regret it. People who regret their tattoos, plastic surgery, or more extreme body modifications (here’s a sad Buzzfeed pictorial on the effects of ear gauges) can read up on the Internet and find an open array of remedies. Plastic surgeons make money both puttin’ it in and takin’ it out.Hollywood stars can speak openly about misgivings over their boob jobs and whatnot. Regarding her lip enhancement surgery, Courtney Love said: “I just want the mouth God gave me back.â€But the difference between Love and the guy with phantom penis syndrome is that the guy isn’t allowed to talk about his regret. Not openly. The transgender lobby actively polices and suppresses discussion of sex-change regret, and claims it’s rare (no more than “5 percent.â€) 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. So it’s a challenge to understand the scope of regret for sex change surgery. It’s out there, but…
Heard about it before.
