Man transitions back from being a woman after changing his mind several months later and moves in with ex wife and her new partner
A father-of-two who transitioned to be a woman after eight years of marriage is transitioning back to being a man after just seven months.
James Cohen, 36, told his wife, Eirian, 36, that he wanted to become a woman after claiming he’d hidden his gender secret since he was a child.
But James, who is now known as Jim by family and friends after ditching his female name, Kara, has thrown out his blonde wig, dresses and high heels.
Despite the couple’s marriage ending as a result of Jimmy’s first transition, Eirian has stood by him every step of the way and claims the pair are now best friends.
Jim, who now has short brown hair and a beard, has recently moved to Portugal with Eirian and now lives with his two daughters and her new partner.
The pair, from Leeds, who have been subjected to online bullies are now trying to educate those who do not understand gender identity issues.
Eirian said: ‘It was a huge shock when James told me he wanted to be known as Kara.
‘We’d forked out privately for him to have hormone treatment straight away so it was a shock when seven months later he told me that he no longer wanted to look like a woman.
‘He decided in July last year that he didn’t want to appear female any longer.
‘Jim stopped wearing his blonde wig, dresses and heels and instead grew a beard. ‘But I did my best to support him, after all we had eight happy years of marriage and two daughters, Electra, seven, and Seren, eight, together.
‘Our girls had accepted that their daddy was turning a woman, we’ve explained everything to them in a way they understand.
‘They don’t mind if he had a beard or wears a dress, kids aren’t born with prejudices, that’s something they learn.
‘I have done nothing but support Jim from the start and despite being confused myself at first, I have accepted his recent transition and have started calling him Jim.
‘Jim is now the happiest he has ever been, he has no regrets about transitioning into a woman and feels lighter for having explored his feminine side after keeping it repressed for all those years.
‘I’ve had online trolls accusing us of lying about Jim being trans because he know has short hair and a beard but what they don’t realise is that people can be gender fluid, we never let them get to us anyway.
‘We receive so many positive messages and my businesses are doing really well.’
LOL!
Those poor children, growing up with all of this going on around them, and the adults seeming to be most interested in “finding themselves” or whatever.....
I believe you are not transgender until you have the proper genitals for your transgendered sex. If not, you are right. They have mental problems or just looking to piss off their relatives especially the spouse.
Why would and ugly man want to transition into a really ugly woman?
Mentally ill raising kids. Sad.
James - Jim - Jimmy - Kara?
Kids must be very confused.
Yes persons can be “gender fluid” when they have an identify dysphoria manifest as an errant mental obsession that they are not the sex they factually are - factually as in what every cell in their body says, and the resulting structure and chemistry the cells make.
Yesterday there was a thread about a tom turkey playing in traffic.
I’ve got to wonder if the deranged spirit of the humans is affecting the animal kingdom.
One way or the other, eventually the natural order self-corrects.
Hey...for a chick you got some set of balls.
But when will Moochelle transition back to being a man so Baraq can live as openly gay ?
Co-signing mental illness is bad policy
Sheboygan?
Most of these characters never get around to losing their bat and balls....matter of fact a lot of them are nothing more than cross dressers!!!
Turkeys aren’t that bright.
In general, I'd agree with you. In this man's case, something more substantive seems to be missing too.
