Transition: 'Going Back' is Not 'Going Back and Forth'

One recent news item making the rounds is the story of Daniela, now Jait, Jr., who transitioned from male to female in his teens and has now transitioned back to male in his early twenties. This "detransition" was documented on MTV's True Life: I'm Questioning My Gender Again.

I haven't seen the show, so I can't comment specifically on Jait's situation, but of course, that doesn't stop me from commenting completely. While "detransitioning," or what I would call "retransitioning" or maybe "going back," is not common, it does happen, and it can garner just as much sensationalism as transition itself. 🔗 [Link: tranifesto.com/2013/04/08/transition-​going-​back-​is-​not-​going-​back-​and-​-​%3E​-​bleeped-​%3C​-​-​is-​not-​going-​back-​and-​forth/%5B​/url/]
