Sex Change Info

The truth is scorned, while false genders are considered real and a civil right; go figure.

I was born a male, Walt, became Laura the transgender, and after 8 years returned to my true male identity. I have now been Walt for more than 17 years.

When I was young, 5 years old or so, my grandmother secretly dressed me in female clothing. My father, when he learned of this, became very upset at grandma. My uncle teased me and fondled me when he found out I was cross-dressing. My mother who was very young herself dished out heavy doses of discipline and I did not feel loved by her.

I and many others who have undergone the so-called "sex change" eventually came to regret it. Why? Well, after spending years living as the opposite gender regretters like myself came to understand that a real gender change is impossible. I learned from personal experience that transgenders are living their life acting out a full blown psychological mental disorder, a "psychosis" in their thinking, and mistakenly feeling they really have changed genders.

A "psychosis" is defined this way: a type of serious mental illness in which a person cannot tell what is real from what is imagined. The main feature of this disorder is the believing in something that just cannot be true.

It would be intellectually dishonest to turn our backs on the fact that the issues that drive transgenders to cross dress in public and undergo radical even destructive irreversible surgery evolve from one or more serious unresolved psychological disorders. This truth is scorned because it is difficult to embrace or digest with all the "enablers" such as lawmakers and "co-dependents" such as LGBT activists who refuse to acknowledge reality.

Here it is, the truth, and if you do not get it consider that you live in the land of Oz.  

It is scientifically, medically and surgically impossible to change genders. We can no longer ignore the truth of the unresolved psychological and psychiatric issues that drive transgenders.  I needed psychological help and others with gender confusion need psychological help, not expanded "freedoms."

Sure, the feelings were very strong but so is truth. I only wish someone would have sat me down prior to surgery and said it is impossible for surgery to change your gender. That would have been far more humane than sending me on a pathway to unnecessary surgery that removed good functioning body parts.

There are many who want to enforce denial of the truth in the form of "sensitivity and other training." But schools are not helping kids or families when in the name of "antidiscrimination" they suggest to children that gender fluidity is healthy. A growing number of children will ultimately be found suffering from psychological and psychiatric disorders because they were encouraged to go down a path of confusion just like I was.

Manufacturing of products is down; gender manufacturing is up

We are being told to accept the manufacturing of genders as real, when changing genders is really impossible. The gender identity patients with their man-made, cosmetic masquerade have the lawmakers falling all over themselves passing laws for transgender civil rights.

They claim to be real men or real women. So why do they need to get treated as a special class of gender? Men and women are already protected by the civil rights laws. If the gender surgery truthfully makes them into the opposite gender, equal to their birth born brothers and sisters, they should not need special protection, right?

Since they claim to need special protection, something is radically wrong. They must not be real.

Whispering quietly, everyone can see they are not real and are nothing more than a cosmetic surgical fantasy draped in women's clothing and some hot lipstick.

In promoting the manufacturing of knock-off genders, advocates have done so well that no one dares to provide objective scientific proof a gender change is even possible. Anyone can change their birth record gender to a knock-off, using paperwork to somehow convince us they are real. That’s not working for me; I had the surgery and it’s not real at all. 

We make a big deal of knock-offs if it is a handbag or a watch, but genders? They get protection under “civil rights.” Are we just so excited about any new manufacturing in America that we celebrate even this fabrication? Perhaps yes.

I know telling the truth will get the blow back identifying me as someone who is intolerant or trans-phobic, but to stay silent would be bowing to “trans-phobia phobia.”

Yes, something is radically wrong, but it is not the civil rights laws. What’s tragic is letting a group of our fellow citizens suffering from gender identity issues and a high rate of suicide attempts to be pushed further into their delusion, rather than encouraging truly helpful medical solutions.

Let the advocates say it is about diversity and tolerance; I say, “Balderdash! Gender manufacturing is a fake.” 

Cross-dressers, Heads Up: Security Is Looking at You

More and more public and business bathrooms will be equipped with security cameras helping to prevent crime and abuses in public spaces including restrooms. Under the law there is no guarantee of privacy when a warning sign is posted, telling you the restroom has security cameras.

In United States v. Hill, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit held that under some circumstances, there is no continuing Fourth Amendment right to privacy in a public restroom.

This ruling is significant. It means that – contrary to most people's expectations – closing the door to a public bathroom does not necessarily entitle a person to freedom from governmental snooping.

With cross-dressers increasingly demanding access to women's restrooms you can be sure real women will fight back by demanding security cameras in women's restrooms. 

Cross-dressers, who represent far less than 1% of the US population, are apparently unaware how off-putting their behavior is to so many who make up the other 99% of the US population.

It is the advocates’ desire to force social acceptability of cross-dressers on the 99%. In my opinion, as a former cross-dresser, that could backfire and in some cases will place cross-dressers in greater jeopardy.

As the advocates prevail and new laws are enacted, in all likelihood, the result will be increased bullying, beatings and ridicule of cross-dressers because you cannot force the acceptability of behavior many feel is completely unacceptable.

That Female Is Packin'

Are we seeing the beginning of the end for gender surgery?

The issue for critics of gender change surgery is not homosexuality or dislike of transgenders, not at all. The issue is that the radical surgery is pushed as the first and best treatment, before adequate psychotherapy or evaluation is done. As a result, the surgery is routinely overused as a treatment for gender issues which cannot be resolved with surgery. And that leads to far too much pain, regret and suicide for those who should never have had the surgery. It is as simple as that.

 But now we’re seeing something that may change the landscape: states are passing new transgender laws that allow people to change the gender on birth records, without being required to have gender change surgery.

So you see—men may legally change the gender on their birth records and claim they are females. But do not look under the hood; the new females will be packing the full bounty of the male tackle box. 

What might the effects of the new laws be?

On the public.

Changing birth certificates without surgery, men appearing as females? Let’s face it.  Everyone understands they are not women. But cross-dressing men (who are now legally “women”) are granted access to shared public spaces, such as women’s restrooms and dressing rooms. I would guess that most women don’t want men in their restrooms.

On the gender surgery industry.

Could it actually happen?  Could we see a big drop in demand for the controversial surgery, which I myself have had, and which I found to be unnecessary? The laws seem to take away a major motivator for getting the surgery.

On those suffering from gender issues.

Maybe the elimination of the requirement for gender surgery to change one’s birth certificate will motivate people to “try out” the opposite gender for a longer time without irrevocably changing genitalia with surgery. Then when they later regret their choice, their body won’t be as mangled and they might be able to head back on a pathway to sanity.

What about those who struggle with depression, regret and suicide? Will this have a helpful or negative effect on them?

Does this lessen even further the incentive for anyone to undergo or even explore psychotherapy as a treatment for their gender issues, when a medical doctor can routinely authorize a birth gender to be changed in the courts without surgery?

On the advocates of surgery.

The advocates will have to rethink their position on surgery now that the courts don’t require it. The advocates, without any scientific proof, claim everyone who has the surgery is happy and they explain away any unhappiness as being the lack of social acceptance. I think the law diminishes the social acceptability, as more men dress as women, without surgery.

What's the answer?

We don't know. The new laws are another gender social experiment with unknown effects and unanswered questions. This new crop of females will be packing all the male tools. After 45 years, is this the end of gender surgery?

Transgender Suicide--Is Access to Bathrooms the Cure?

Transgenders do not evolve in the womb. The fact is: transgenders are the result of unfinished gender development in childhood and they remain in limbo. It’s estimated that 1% of our US population suffers psychologically from an unwanted gender identity issues that require extensive psychotherapy to treat.

Most everyone understands it is impossible to actually change genders. All the medical or surgical procedures that have been tried, up to and including today, are powerless to cause a change in gender. But the new laws being passed to enable transgenders to assume a female identity ignore the medical and scientific impossibility.

The unrealistic expectation of men becoming women, or women becoming men, has consequences, according to a comprehensive long-term Swedish study. The results are high mortality rates, elevated risks of depression, psychiatric illness and attempts to commit suicide.      

The Swedish study follows up on 324 post-operative transsexuals in Sweden from 1973 to 2003 and compares their outcomes to a control group. Unlike other studies that claim to follow up on transsexuals, this one is more credible because it spans more than 30 years and includes all the post-operative transgenders during the period. (Most other studies draw conclusions based on a small minority of patients because so many cannot be found, or the study only follows up for a short period of time, certainly not the 10 year average of the Swedish study.)

The conclusion of the study is--

Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.  Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.

To me, the evidence strongly suggests that transgenders need much more psychiatric care before and after surgery to alleviate depression and prevent suicide.  Obviously, the surgery is totally ineffective at resolving co-existing psychiatric disorders, which should be treated first before treating the gender identity issue.  Other studies have shown that a co-existing disorder may, in fact, cause gender identity symptoms. In those cases, when the co-existing disorder is treated, the gender identity symptoms go away.

So, in conclusion, transgenders do not need improved access to restrooms, or jobs, or more freedom and help to change gender; they need improved access to true, unbiased psychiatric care to lower their considerably higher risks for early death.
