Man who entered Guiness book of records for the most gender-reassignment surgeries for an individual person regrets becoming a trans-woman; warns against it
This is the story of a man called Blair Logsdon and it's a cautionary tale for anyone today who is
considering the use of cross-gender hormones and gender-change surgery
to feel better about themselves.
Logsdon underwent 167 surgeries from 1987 to 2005 in his quest to resolve gender dysphoria with surgery.
In 1987, at the age of 26, he underwent the first of many cosmetic surgeries to change his gender/sex appearance from male to trans-female. Within a few months, he said he deeply regretted becoming a trans-woman.
For the next five years, he struggled in his life as a woman before undergoing a genital surgical change to restore his original male self.
But peace with his gender eluded him.
With gender dysphoria still present and feeling unsettled, Logsdon underwent yet another gender change and returned to self-identifying as trans-female.
Doctors, apparently with total and reckless disregard for Logsdon's emotional, psychological and sexual well-being, ignored his obvious distress about previous cosmetic surgeries and indulged his requests for more.
Logsdon said he continued to have regrets about the feminizing surgeries, even as he strongly felt the need for more, caught in a cycle of hope followed by disappointment.
By 2005, seven cosmetic surgeons had performed 167 gender-affirming surgeries on his body, filling their bank accounts to the tune of more than $220,000 and leaving him, in his words, "disfigured."
Logsdon says he regrets all 167 surgeries. No longer turning to the surgeons to discover his "true self," he has found his true male self in following Jesus Christ.

Ignoring the protocols of effective psychological diagnosis harms trans-people because it guarantees they will not get effective treatment for coexisting disorders.
The suicide rate among transgenders will leave you stunned.
These people have been there before and they know through their experience that choosing this transgender path is a wrong idea, but question is: who will listen?
