Caitlyn Jenner considering ‘de-transitioning’ ‘in the next couple years,’ author claims
Fox News ^ | May 12, 2016

Posted on 05/12/2016 6:37:13 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

A Kardashian family biographer claims Caitlyn Jenner is experiencing regret over transitioning from male to female. Citing multiple sources close to the star, Ian Halperin told The Wrap that Jenner is considering transitioning back to male “in the next couple years.”

Halperin said while doing research for his book “Kardashian Dynasty: The Controversial Rise of America’s Royal Family,” several sources indicated Jenner is unhappy.

“One source confirmed to me Caitlyn has made whispers of ‘sex change regret,’ hinting she might go back to being Bruce Jenner,” Halperin told the entertainment website.

The biographer said Jenner, 66, is allegedly interested in transitioning back for relationship reasons.

“She’s still into women and wants to meet the right one,” Halperin stated.

The idea that Jenner has had apprehensions over the life change is nothing new. Back when Jenner graced the cover of Vanity Fair, the former Olympian described a panic attack following the transition.

The Vanity Fair profile detailed: “During the first full day of recuperation… She was undergoing something that had never happened before in 65 years of life: a panic attack… The panic attack lasted about 15 seconds, but a single thought continued to course through her mind: ‘What did I just do? What did I just do to myself?’”

Halperin the transition has been “very hard” for the star.

“She’s thrilled she has raised awareness about how transgender people have long been discriminated against but I think there’s a chance she’ll de-transition in the next couple years,” the writer said. “I don’t think it would surprise anybody in her inner circle. It has been much harder than she anticipated. My heart goes out to her and I know her true friends will be there to support her on whatever path she chooses.”

If true, not all that unusual. If you have a strong desire to chop off a limb or blind yourself you are diagnosed with a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and given treatment. You certainly aren't helped to multilate yourself. Unless it takes the form of wanting to chop off your package, then you are called a brave hero.

But in the end, if you take a person who has some form of mental illness and treat them with life altering mutilations it should not really be a surprise that their underlying depression, neuroses, and lack of self esteem aren't magically cured. In fact many of these trans people end up regretting it and their suicide rates are disproportionately high after they get all their surgeries. Because treating their real illness isn't PC.

LOL. The freak show that is the Kardashian / Jenner family strikes again! I would bet the farm that Bruce really never wanted to be a woman. That this was all some giant marketing ploy to keep interest going in the family and keep the $$$$$$ rolling in. I don’t know whether to admire them for this level of audacity or just shake my head at how far we have fallen as a society.

In the meantime the pronoun used to refer to that person is “shim”.

The media will say this is due to the mistreatment of women in the US. He wants to get back all the privileges of being a white male. The only solution is Hillary.

This is why it used to be considered a psychiatric issue and not a medical one.

That was before politics trumped health.

The suicide rate for transsexual surgery is high. Any other practice with such rates would be outlawed as harmful.

Who is going to want such a mess of a man?

The only reason why he went transgender was to avoid a possible prison sentence in a male jail.

Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is a ‘Mental Disorder’– Sex Change is ‘Biologically Impossible’
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3195117/posts

Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospitaland its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder.

Dr. McHugh, the author of six books and at least 125 peer-reviewed medical articles, made his remarks in a recent commentary in the Wall Street Journal, where he explained that transgender surgery is not the solution for people who suffer a “disorder of ‘assumption’” – the notion that their maleness or femaleness is different than what nature assigned to them biologically.

He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.”

While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such as Timemagazine promote transgenderism as normal, said Dr. McHugh, these “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”

The pro-transgender advocates do not want to know, said McHugh, that studies show between 70% and 80% of children who express transgender feelings “spontaneously lose those feelings” over time. Also, for those who had sexual reassignment surgery, most said they were “satisfied” with the operation “but their subsequent psycho-social adjustments were no better than those who didn’t have the surgery.”

“And so at Hopkins we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a ‘satisfied’ but still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating normal organs,” said Dr. McHugh.

The former Johns Hopkins chief of psychiatry also warned against enabling or encouraging certain subgroups of the transgendered, such as young people “susceptible to suggestion from ‘everything is normal’ sex education,” and the schools’ “diversity counselors” who, like “cult leaders,” may “encourage these young people to distance themselves from their families and offer advice on rebutting arguments against having transgender surgery.”

Dr. McHugh also reported that there are “misguided doctors” who, working with very young children who seem to imitate the opposite sex, will administer “puberty-delaying hormones to render later sex-change surgeries less onerous – even though the drugs stunt the children’s growth and risk causing sterility.”

Such action comes “close to child abuse,” said Dr. McHugh, given that close to 80% of those kids will “abandon their confusion and grow naturally into adult life if untreated ….”

“’Sex change’ is biologically impossible,” said McHugh. “People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.”

Exactly. I have to believe the whole thing has been for the money. Now that he is being accepted as a she by liberal and ignorant types, the hype is over. What to do next? Go back.... Good thing he still has his parts.

I also think Jenner suffered from being around the Kardashians too long - that would drive any one nuts.

No surprise.

When Jenner’s transition hit the news a year or so ago, there were articles going back to the 1990s. One of those said Jenner was supposed to start the breast enlargements, but declined and chose to stay ‘male’ for a while longer.

It seems Jenner needs therapy more than operations and sex-change drugs. Being in the headlines for the last year have not helped Jenner’s mental state.

If she is into women, why can’t she be a transgender lesbian?
