I Want My Sex Back

Transgender People Who Regretted Changing Sex

After years of feeling uncomfortable with his male body, Billy finally came up with a solution: he underwent sex reassignment surgery to become the woman he had always felt he was. However, the change didn’t bring him the relief he had sought, and neither did it solve any of his problems. After seven years of being a woman, Billy reverted back to being a man.

Rene Jax was born and raised as a male. She used to dress as a woman before she actually took the plunge to become female. The hormone therapy and breast augmentation that followed didn’t satisfy Rene. Gender dysphoria – the condition of feeling disconnected from your sex – persisted. She says her gender reassignment was a mistake, merely cosmetic surgery.

Walt Heyer felt trapped in his male body. In 1983, he finally became Laura Jensen. He believed it was a genetic disorder that had caused his gender dysphoria. However, it wasn’t until he had reverted back to his original sex that Walt realized his issues stemmed from the trauma of sexual abuse. He now counsels people who are considering gender reassignment.

I Want My Sex Back is the personal story of three men who regretted changing genders. They recount their experiences and how they came to terms with their disappointments and regrets.
