You know, when I read through the new posts to this thread just now, I suddenly came to think of a very fitting subject that would be relevant for this topic: Josef Kirchner, a MTFTM-transitioner, that, as may be hinted, started of as a birth-assgned male;

A male that later on during his later teens early twenties transitioned into a woman. A woman that was actually both beautiful, passable and succesfull.

However, after some years, she- Judy, as she called herself- started to wonder if she really did the right decision, and after some more years, she started to now feel like a man trapped in a female body.
After some thorough Soulsearching, that amongst other things lead her into a Cure homos and ->-bleeped-<-s through God-group, she de-transitioned into a male again. However, although the de-transition was on her own decision, she was used by the group as a living proof that you someone like her could truly change back successfully.
She however soon woke up and found out how outrageously wrong their opinions and standpoints on the whole topic of Gender, Sexual Orientations and God, were, which she considered being much more fluid and much broader on the spectra than they claimed, and pretty much asked them to shove it and remove her name from their business.
However She, now a He, was nonetheless very happy having de-transitioned and no longer felt trapped in his own body and even started to bodybuild and turned into quite a Mans Man.

He realized, that he actually hadn't really wanted to be a woman, but only wanted SRS, but transitioned into a woman anyways as he did not know of any other options in those days.
Now, he identifies himself as a proud gay male with a vagina and have no intentions to ever change that.
He also works for a broader legal acceptation by the law regarding SRS-procedures, so that even persons that, for instance, identify as gay males like himself, but nonetheless wants SRS, should be able to have it, just as diagnosed transsexuals, and less regrets would occur as a result of this, instead of people doing a full transition although they perhaps only wants to alter a part of their body and not actually transforming into another Sex.
He is indeed quite a fascinating man, really.
