Caitlyn Jenner Regrets Transitioning To A Woman, Wants To Become Bruce Again: Report, by Minyvonne Burke.

Caitlyn Jenner is reportedly having second thoughts about her transition from male to female. Book author Ian Halperin says the former Olympic decathlete may de-transition in the next few years and become Bruce Jenner again.

Ever since announcing her transition last year, Jenner has been documenting her experience as a woman on the E! reality show “I Am Cait.” The series shows the 66-year-old stepfather to the Kardashians learning about makeup, making new friends and exploring the dating scene. However, Halperin told the Wrap that Jenner has been having a difficult time with the change.

UPDATE: Sex changes are not effective, say researchers, by David Batty.

There is no conclusive evidence that sex change operations improve the lives of transsexuals, with many people remaining severely distressed and even suicidal after the operation, according to a medical review conducted exclusively for Guardian Weekend tomorrow.

The review of more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transsexuals by the University of Birmingham’s aggressive research intelligence facility (Arif) found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery is clinically effective.

Are some doing the operation for insufficient reason?

Dr Hyde said: “The bottom line is that although it’s clear that some people do well with gender reassignment surgery, the available research does little to reassure about how many patients do badly and, if so, how badly.”
