Sex Change Regret: Gender Reversal Surgery Is on the Rise

Around five years ago, Professor Miroslav Djordjevic, the world-leading genital reconstructive surgeon, received a visit at his Belgrade clinic: a transgender person who had undergone surgery at different clinic to remove male genitalia – and since changed [his] mind.

That was the first time Prof Djordjevic had ever been contacted to perform a so-called gender reassignment “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, Prof 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 €18,000).

Those wishing to reverse their gender reassignment, Prof Djordjevic says, have spoken to him about experiencing crippling levels of depression following their transition and in some cases even contemplated suicide. “It can be a real disaster to hear these stories,” says the 52-year-old.

$200,000 Going to Discover How Trannys Deal With ‘Stress’

Despite President Trump’s reversal of Obama-era policies on transgenderism, his administration still is spending hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on transgenderism research, the government watchdog Judicial Watch warns.

In August, Trump rescinded an Obama-era policy allowing the military to recruit transgender people. The president also banned the Department of Defense from using its resources to provide medical regimens for transgenders currently serving in the military, citing the “medical costs” as the primary driver of his decision.

In February, the Trump administration ended Obama’s order that public schools open their bathrooms and locker rooms to people according to gender “identity.”

The administration concluded that the transgender bathroom issue should be determined by states.

The left responded to Trump’s reversal of Obama’s transgender mandates with charges the commander-in-chief is “cruel,” “un-American” and “discriminatory.” (Read more from “$200,000 Going to Discover How Trannys Deal With ‘Stress'” HERE)

More Than 40 Families Pull Children From School That Forced Transgender Lesson on 5-Year-Olds

Forty-one families have pulled 73 children from the elite Sacramento-area Rocklin Academy charter schools as the board continues to defend a kindergarten transgender lesson several parents say traumatized their 5-year-olds and that parents weren’t told about beforehand.

A mother who pulled her son from Grade 6 and daughter from Grade 3 at Rocklin Academy Gateway, where the incident took place, has kept a tally of parents who’ve done likewise.

“It was just the tipping point for most families,” the parent, who asked her name not be published, told LifeSiteNews.

Some parents pulled their kids “solely for this,” while other had “multiple reasons, but yes, this was part of everyone’s reason,” she said.

The controversy erupted after a lesson in which the boy appeared in girl’s clothes and was reintroduced to his kindergarten classmates as a girl. (Read more from “More Than 40 Families Pull Children From School That Forced Transgender Lesson on 5-Year-Olds” HERE)

Lesbian Feminist Scholar: Transgendering Kids Is ‘Child Abuse’

A 2015 video of feminist scholar Camille Paglia calling transgender hormone treatments for young children and teens “child abuse” has re-surfaced on the internet.

“I think that the transgender propagandists make wildly inflated claims about the multiplicity of gender. Sex re-assignment surgery, even today, with all of its…advances, cannot in fact, change anyone’s sex,” said Paglia.

“You can define yourself as a trans man or a trans woman [or] one of these new gradations along the scale, but ultimately every single cell in the human body – the DNA in that cell remains coded for your biological birth [sex],” she continued.

“There are a lot of lies being propagated at the present moment, which I think is not in anyone’s best interest,” she added. (Read more from “Lesbian Feminist Scholar: Transgendering Kids Is ‘Child Abuse'” HERE)

14-Year-Old Boy Reverses Gender Transition After 2 Years

A 14-year-old Australian boy has changed his mind two years after he began gender transition into a woman with female hormones at age 12.

Patrick Mitchell from Australia began taking estrogen hormones at 12-years-old after “professionals” told his mother it was the “right choice”, following a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

“He grew out his hair and started to take the hormones, which caused his body to grow breasts. But two years on, Mitchell had a change of heart,” reported the Independent. “In the beginning of 2017, teachers at school began to refer to him as a girl which triggered Mitchell to question if he had made the right decision.”

“Now, in a bid to revert back to his original body, he has stopped taking his medication and is about to have an operation to remove excess breast tissue in what will be the final stage of his transition,” they continued.

After two years of transitioning, Mitchell reportedly told his mother, “I’m just not sure that I am a girl.”

Army Officer Goes to Battle Over… Gender Pronouns

An Army medical officer has won a skirmish against the politically correct policy of letting transgenderism activists force their language on proponents of traditional morality.

The officer, who is remaining anonymous to avoid retaliation, was granted a religious exemption from using pronouns that conflict with a person’s biological sex.

The officer had reached out to the religious-rights non-profit First Liberty after the Army instituted a new policy that requires all soldiers to use the pronoun that aligns with a person’s “gender identity.”

The officer spoke with Michael Berry, deputy general counsel for First Liberty, who offered her advice to resolve her concerns.

Berry was a former judge advocate general for the Marine Corps and has been at the forefront of many high-profile religious freedom cases. (Read more from “Army Officer Goes to Battle Over… Gender Pronouns” HERE)

General Mattis Says Trump’s Order on Transgender Troops Needs to Be ‘Studied’ Before Implementing

Transgender troops can continue to serve pending a study and recommendation from Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, the Defense Department announced Tuesday.

The DoD has received Trump’s memorandum on transgender service members and will implement the president’s policy direction, according to a prepared statement from Mattis.

“As directed, we will develop a study and implementation plan, which will contain the steps that will promote military readiness, lethality, and unit cohesion, with due regard for budgetary constraints and consistent with applicable law,” Mattis said.

The Defense Department will work in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security and soon arriving senior government officials, according to Mattis.

“The implementation plan will address accessions of transgender individuals and transgender individuals currently serving in the United States military,” Mattis added. (Read more from “General Mattis Says Trump’s Order on Transgender Troops Needs to Be ‘Studied’ Before Implementing” HERE)

Lawsuits Pile up Over Trump’s Transgender Recruitment Ban

Two civil rights organizations brought separate lawsuits against President Donald Trump’s order banning transgender people from serving in the military Monday.

The complaints allege a variety of constitutional violations and seek injunctions barring the order’s enforcement while it is adjudicated in the courts.

The first suit was brought by the ACLU in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. It names Trump, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, as well as the secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The plaintiffs in the ACLU action include six active duty servicemen in various stages of gender transition who are currently receiving hormone therapy and related medical care. Several of the plaintiffs have done extended tours in Afghanistan.

“Our lawsuit argues that the ban violates the constitutional guarantees of equal protection and substantive due process by singling out transgender individuals for unequal and discriminatory treatment,” said Chase Strangio, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s LGBT and HIV Project.

School Disciplines First-Grader for ‘Misgendering’ a Gender-Confused Classmate

The Sacramento-area charter school already rocked by parental backlash over a five-year-old boy transitioning to a girl in kindergarten class last June has now sent a first grade student to the principal’s office for “misgendering” the boy.

The first grade student at Rocklin Academy Gateway inadvertently called the trans “girl” by his boy’s name on the playground earlier this week, Karen England, executive director of the Capitol Research Institute, told LifeSiteNews.

The first grader “knows the student’s name from last year, and innocently on the playground called him by his name, and was told she needed to refer to him as a ‘she’ and needed to refer to him by his new name, which the student said OK,” England said.

“But then later the student was later called into the principal’s office so that the incident could be investigated to see if it was intentional or not, as if six-year-old kids are even thinking about this.”

The parent met with the principal on Wednesday, England said, and the school reiterated to the parent that their child needs to refer to this biological boy as a girl with the girl’s name. (Read more from “School Disciplines First-Grader for ‘Misgendering’ a Gender-Confused Classmate” HERE)

Many Dismissed Trump’s Transgender Military Ban Tweets. Big Mistake.

President Donald Trump tweeted on July 26 that transgender individuals would not be allowed to serve in the United States military. Tweets alone don’t change policy, so some in the media assumed the president was just blowing smoke.

Today, it’s clear that Trump meant what he said and intends to carry it out. A White House memo was sent to the Pentagon on Wednesday directing Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to deny admittance to transgender individuals, and to stop paying for medical treatment regimens for currently enlisted transgender people.

The White House is expected to send additional guidance to the Pentagon in coming days to detail how to implement the ban. Mattis will have six months to get all of this done . . .

The White House memo gives Mattis and the Pentagon the discretion to consider an individual’s deployability when deciding whether or not to separate them from service.

Deployability is defined as the ability to serve in a war zone, participate in exercises or live on a ship for months at a time, and will be the legal basis used to make determinations on transgender individual’s fitness for military service.
