Woman who regrets becoming a transgender male 17 years ago says medical professionals should NOT have helped her to transition - and claims lots of other transgender people are hiding their regrets
snip
But after years of counselling she finally realised she wasn't transgender and is now living as a woman again, while awaiting surgery to reverse the reassignment.

Debbie now believes that rather than being transgender, she was in fact suffering with complex PTSD as a result of sexual abuse.

Proving once again that its a mental illness.
The fact that the medical professionals are somehow responsible irritates the hell out of me.

I wonder what the statistics are of transgenders being sexually abused as children?

Interesting...

Studies have shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people are more likely to be sexually assaulted in childhood than heterosexual and non-transgender children

Recently, the detransition movement has been picking up steam and receiving more attention. Over the weekend, in Manchester, England the world’s first gender detransition conference was held. The sold-out conference drew in 200 people and featured real-life stories and expert testimonies.

This has long been a supposition and studies have been done to prove it.

I disagree. I personally think the statistics of young girls who are sexually traumatized is WAY higher than any study shows. Even through the most recent #MeToo movement, there are thousands of women who do not share that they were sexually abused and those episodes HAVE to shape who they are today. Lesbians, bisexuals etc ... are just more open about discussing their sexuality. I don’t know a single lesbian who wouldn’t admit if she first had S*x with a guy. But how many heterosexual women are willing to admit they experimented sexually with a girl at some point? It will be low. But you’d be surprised at which women will “play”.

Nah. We aren’t non-hetero because Daddy or Uncle played Hide the Slippery Pickle ... we as a group suffer from the same PTSD rate, we just are more open to discuss it so you hear about it. It’s a fake statistic in my opinion.

If we as a society could stop labeling people and allow them to explore and be who they want, even if it isn't "socially acceptable", we would find less stats like these.

However this one has to accept her own role. It's not like they forced her to become transgender, it takes years of counseling, talking to a doctor, taking pills to help her body adjust to her new gender, etc. It's not like you say to a doctor, "Hey, I want to be transgender." And the next day you wind up with an altered body.

As a heterosexual female who has complex ptsd, I can certainly understand why this could happen. However, as a heterosexual female with complex Ptsd, it irritates me to see people claiming that sexual abuse causes people to be transgender or heterosexual. It doesn’t. It can cause confusion, disassociate disorders, anxiety, sexual problems, and countless other things but it does not cause someone to be gay. Come on! Where is the logic in that? One person’s experience does not prove anything. Show me much more than that and we will talk

I’m still hesitant to call it a mental illness, especially nowadays when we have jumped from normalizing it to glorifying it. It is now taboo to question anyone claiming that they’re “genderless” or the “wrong gender”, even though it should be questioned before acknowledging it as just a “preference”.
In any other instance, if someone claims to be something they weren’t born as it would be labeled as dysmorphia and the treatment wouldn’t be to alter that person so that they look like what they claim they are. So why is it different with gender?
