The new taboo: More people regret sex change and want to ‘detransition’, surgeon says
National Post ^ | Oct. 2, 2017 | Joe Shute

Five years ago, Professor Miroslav Djordjevic, the world-leading genital reconstructive surgeon, received a patient at his Belgrade clinic. It was a transgender patient who had surgery at a different clinic to remove male genitalia – and had since changed their mind.

That was the first time Djordjevic had ever been contacted to perform a so-called “reversal” surgery. Over the next six months, another six people also approached him, similarly wanting to reverse their procedures. They came from countries all over the Western world.

Britain included, united by an acute sense of regret. At present, Djordjevic has a further six prospective people in discussions with his clinic about reversals and two currently undergoing the process itself; reattaching the male genitalia is a complex procedure and takes several operations over the course of a year to fully complete, at a cost of some euros 18,000 (pounds 16,000).

Those wishing the reversal, Djordjevic says, have spoken to him about crippling levels of depression following their transition and in some cases even contemplated suicide.

"reattaching the male genitalia is a complex procedure and takes several operations over the course of a year to fully complete,"

So they cut it off and saved it?

Every study done on this shows allowing these people to mutilate themselves does not help them at all.

The people who engage in helping an encouraging them to do so are engaging in malpractice and abuse.

This proves that the sex “change” thing is just a fad. Some people are so stupid that they follow the latest rage and blindly do what other people are doing. One day their reason returns, and they realize that they have chopped off their faithful companion. Should have listened to us!

Even after they’ve detached their “junk?” Crazy fools.

Very sad. I guess they blame their unhappy condition on being the incorrect sex rather than get to the root of the problem. Once they mutilate and distort themselves and they’re still unhappy, they figure it out.

Once the doc has chopped your bollocks off, there’s really no “reversal”.

Dunno. Donated bits and pieces from a cadaver? Reconstructed from existing tissue?

In Imperial China, the emperor and his concubines were served by eunuchs at the palace.

The standard procedure was to remove the “organs” just prior to puberty. The “organs” would then be stored in a jade box, for the eunuch to take with him to the afterlife.

This story made me think of that.

Is that what they mean when they ask if you want to donate organs?

Many more just choose suicide. Those promoting it, one must remember, are the same people who claim humans can affect planetary climate, that Dihydrogen Monoxide is a dangerous solvent which must be banned, that coitus with someone’s anus is an expression of love, and that murderous psychopathic thugs (under any sort of red colored banner) are morally superior beings, far in eclipse of the farmers, merchants, lawyers, and statesmen who wrote our Constitution.

People who reject their own biological reality need mental help, not medical.
The doctors who do this are charlatans.

As it is now in the Hook-Up Culture, most young people regret having sex, we could never imagine the regret of a having sex change.

“Transgender” surgery is mutilation, not “fixing” something.

There is nothing wrong with the body. What is wrong is an obsession in the mind that needs to be defeated.
