‘Hundreds’ Of Transgender People Want To Go Back To Their Birth Sex, Says Formerly Trans Woman

At age 17, Charlie Evans lived as a boy, binding her chest and shaving her head. A decade later, in 2018, she publicly stopped being transgender. In the year since then, she’s been contacted by “hundreds” of transgender people looking to do the same, she recently told the United Kingdom’s Sky News.

The people contacting her “tend to be around their mid-20s, they’re mostly female and mostly same-sex attracted, and often autistic as well,” Evans said.

In the past decade, the United Kingdom has seen a 4,500 percent increase (not a typo) in girls identifying as transgender. Brown University last year tried to repress the first major study looking into “rapid onset gender dysphoria” as a social contagion that seems to especially affect girls.

After a recent public talk, Evans says, a young woman with a beard approached her, saying she was also working to return to living as her birth sex. This young woman “said she felt shunned by the LGBT community for being a traitor,” Evans said. “So I felt I had to do something.”

Evans is starting a U.K. charity, the Detransition Advocacy Network, to offer support to people like Ruby, another young woman Sky News interviewed for its story on growing numbers of former transsexuals. Of her decision to stop being transgender after eight years of taking cross-sex hormones, Ruby says, “I didn’t feel like there was any support out there, other than like a few friends online.”

'Ruby' began to identify as male age 13, but now, 21, she has decided to stop taking testosterone and detransition.

“For everyone who has gender dysphoria, whether they are trans or not, I want there to be more options for us because I think there is a system of saying, ‘Okay here’s your hormones, here’s your surgery, off you go’. I don’t think that’s helpful for anyone,” Ruby told Sky News, a division of Comcast.

A nearby National Health Service location that specializes in transgender medicine “now ha[s] a record number of referrals and see 3,200% more patients than they did 10 years ago – with the increase for girls up by 5,337%,” Sky News reports. They see patients as young as age three for transgender treatments.

This sudden and explosive growth in transgender identification has happened in both the United Kingdom and United States. As Renee Gardner notes, “The first gender clinic in the United States opened in 2007 in Boston. An October 2016 article states there are now more than 60.” The state of Oregon now offers taxpayer-paid sex-change surgeries to children as young as 15 with no parental notification, and Oregon “health providers are immune from liability for acting against parents’ objections ‘in good faith.'”

A U.S. researcher recently did a study that confirmed at least two 13-year-old girls and five 14-year-old girls have been given double mastectomies as a result of identifying as transgender. Yet a recent review of the research available on this topic found that “Only a minority of children who experience cross-gender identification will continue to do so into adolescence or adulthood.”

With the growth in transgenderism, once an extremely rare phenomenon, has also come a growth in formerly transgender people. Nine such individuals just filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in a case that will decide whether employers must allow transgender people to live as the opposite sex while on the job. The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in that case Tuesday.

“Almost every single person in the brief said they stopped being transgender with the help of therapy,” writes Nicole Russell in a review of the Supreme Court brief from formerly transgender people. “It didn’t just help them heal, but also revealed that deeper emotional traumas were often the cause of their gender dysphoria and the reason they chose transgenderism in the first place. All of the people claim that those who proposed or helped them transition often (unknowingly) created more pain.”

People looking for help in returning to a life that affirms their biological sex can find resources at SexChangeRegret.com, the website of Federalist contributor Walt Heyer, another former transgender person.

“my junior year I took off and did theater”

Admit it, you just had a crush on one of the drama club chicks!

[abigkahuna]

This is a public forum and I will not be bullied into making such a confession!

I live near a liberal utopia town that,by first hand knowledge, has most of the girls sexually confused and four who change in the boys locker room. One that I know of has been given puberty blocking drugs (my God!). There are very few straight kids when it comes to the dances. The “identification” and dual SEXUALITY of children is in full swing. WTF is going on! The normal boys I feel so sorry for. Social/physical re-engineering of kids is so sick. On a side note,the town shoves the girls into all of the boys sports. They blame EVERYTHING on.......Trump.

This is confusing. At what point are they female? Now? Once? Then? When?

This stuff is getting impossible to parse now. What exactly does "same-sex attracted" mean in the context of an article about a transgender person?

[353FMG]

That would be like trying to stop abortions.

[jmacusa]

I work in a hospital in NJ. We had one of these freaks in our department. An arrogant, sneaky and entitled little cuss. Lied to the nurses on the floor he/she/it was working about having cleaned patient rooms when he/she/it didn't. The nurses questioned him about it and the creature mouthed off to them. Bad move. You never mouth off to nurses. It then proceed to mouth off to our department head and it was fired. These freaks are nothing but a bunch of attention whores with a tremendous and inflated sense of privilege and entitlement.

‘Hundreds’ Of Transgender People Want To Go Back To Their Birth Sex...

They never left it, except in their imagination. A mutilated male or female is still a male or female.

[JimRed]

So, they’re being rejected by queers as well as by normals?

[V K Lee]

First, taxpayers were charged to bring this change to fruition.

Now we can expect to be charged to change them back?
NO THANK YOU!

These fools expect too much.

And whatever happened to the very accurate title "Same Sex Affection Disorder" as a description for the illness of homosexuality? I guess they don't consider it disorderly any more!

[Chickensoup]

This is very good news.

The culture is turning.

[Chickensoup]

Mostly it is minimally autistic females.

Young Americans’ LGBTQ Acceptance Plunges 63% to 45% in Two Years

This is probably the biggest reason.

[pfflier]

Mostly it is minimally autistic females.

Yes I read that. My point is that is still a mental illness. Shouldn't an ethical physician take that into consideration when approached for sex change therapy?

[FormerFRLurker]

I’ve said it before: this transgender nonsense is a fad. Like all fads, it will pass. Sadly it will be too late for all those who have already mutilated themselves.

If you’re a girl who likes coding and football more than dolls, go be a tomboy. If you’re a boy who prefers art and music to sports, go be the next Mozart. No surgery or hormone therapy necessary.

“‘Hundreds’ Of Transgender People Want To Go Back To Their Birth Sex, Says Formerly Trans Woman”

well, a bit hard to do that when you’re the kind of trans who’s had parts cut off and tossed into the incinerator ...

[FormerFRLurker]

I don’t think there’s much of an overlap between autism and narcissism. In fact I see autism and sociopathy as polar opposites. Autistic people mean well but simply have no idea how neurotypical people work. Sociopaths know all too well how to manipulate others into doing what they want; they just don’t care about anyone but themselves.

[Chickensoup]

Of course they should.

I thihnk that the physicans, teachers, etc who have boxed these kids into corners should be sued within an inch of their lives.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Trans are deeply troubled people caught up in confusion and insecurity, and truly mentally ill -— just as much as if they thought they were a different species than the one they were at birth.

Loosening or scrambling their bodily wholeness, and getting them habituated to chronic hormonal abnormality, does not help. And the pundits, opinion-leaders, therapists, doctors and surgeons who support and/or profit from this, are guilty of abuse at the very least.

Now they want to make it illegal nationwide for anyone to offer these suffering ones genuine help, a chance to regain normalcy.

My sorrow is directed to the victims; and my anger, to the enablers.
