Re: Transsexuals Who Re-Transition
I realize this thread is pretty old, but as a newb on HA i would like to add my 2 cents. I believe the Standards of Care need to be updated and reinforced. Too many crossdressers and TV'S are passed into a transition period due to a politically correct therapy community which just can't seem to say NO to anyone. A man who has spent a lifetime in that gender role who all of a sudden want's to undergo gender transition is a far cry from a highly effeminate teenage boy swishing down the street in heels and a skirt. There are true transsexuals out there, that is obvious, but the therapy community seems to add a new slice to the gender world pie simply on a whim.
Years ago, in the 70's, I consulted with a very kind, distinguished psychiatrist who had passed others into transition. In time he had a rock solid definition of my psycho-sexual makeup - a fetishistic heterosexual transvestite - and convinced me I would be very unhappy undergoing HRT, and that he would personally never endorse it. He was right, and I have long appreciated his candor and assistance in my coming to terms with my sexuality.

Re: Transsexuals Who Re-Transition
I think the problem is that trans-whatever is, in the west, understood in terms of a psychiatric diagnoses. It creates a binary of either you are born in a wrong body or you are a dysfunctional male that can't controle his sexdrive. I think that this is due to the very binary understanding of gender in western culture. You are either a man or a woman and if you are not (born intersexed forinstance) you are surgically "normalised" right after birth. This puts a pressure on people to choose. Some people make the wrong choice or choose somthing they are not reddy for.
When they made the psyhiatric diagnoses "transvestite" and "transsexual," They thought it was somthing new in world history that they had discovered, or if they knew of similar cases in history, they thought that a scientific explanation would be superior. They did this without understanding that their perception of what was normal was not beyond time and place.
Now if they had treated it as a sociological question instead they could have learned from the entire human experience of transgender. The hindu mythology, the norse mytology, the native american culture, the greak mythology and alot more. Then they (and we) would have understod that you don't need to be either or, but that you can be neither nor, both and inbetween (and at the same time). We would also have understood that beeing transgender is not nesserserily a constant. In other cultures and timeperiods you could live as the opposit gender for a period of time and then go back and live in your native gender for the rest. All depending on your individual destiny.
Transgender is our desteny. Not somthing we do for fun regardles of any lables we or others might apply to our selves. Offcause it could be debated if this is somthing we should take care of our selves or the medical comunity should be involved. Whatever it should be recognised that it is our destiny to be transgendered. Cosmetic operations will allways be a part of being transgender. It was in other timeperiods to the extent it was possible. Some people will need more operations than others, but I don't think that SRS should be considered more necessary than brestaugmentation. BA and FFS is actually more important if you want to blend in as a woman where as SRS has perhaps a more symbolic meaning.
An other problem connected to the pathologisation is that people is not allowed to take the consequense of their fait and their own actions. If I decide to have SRS and I later regret, I made the decition and I then have to live with it. No need to cry. No need to blame anybody else.

Re: Transsexuals Who Re-Transition
Kinda scared to read this entire thread as I'm helping someone navigate this process at the moment, she went from m-f-m and now I'm helping her get back on track so to speak.
At first I planned on making a movie about it, but it feels a little to exploitive to me at the current juncture.

Re: Transsexuals Who Re-Transition
lots of girls have gone back, just only a few let it be known...but guys on this site would be surprised to see pics of some of the girls that went back...some real beauties, just some people realize they arent trans, or dont feel trans anymore, or do it for family, or for religion...
