After ten years of having undergone the sex change, Jay Langadinos, an Australian transgender man, deeply regrets having done so, which is why he decided to sue his doctor.
According to the information, when Jay was 19 years old, she was convinced that she did not feel like a woman, but a man. However, transitioning from one sex to another is not easy, so she preferred to consult with a psychiatrist before making the decision to have surgery. In this way, she went to see Dr. Patrick Toohey, who, on her first appointment, approved the gender change.
11 years after having removed her uterus, her breasts and starting hormonal treatment to go from being a woman to a trans man, Jay says she is extremely sorry, because she says that at that time she did not know the emotional and social consequences that her change would bring. of sex Because of this, she blames her psychiatrist for her “bad advice”.
In addition to this, Jay affirms that since his change he realized that he was not comfortable being a man and that having friends and interacting with his family has made it more complicated, since he suffers from social phobia. Over the years, she realized that she actually liked being a woman, but she was attracted to other girls and, due to misinformation or bad advice she says she received, she believed that by liking women, she should change. of genre.
Another thing that Jay has lamented is that by making this irreversible change, she also lost the opportunity to one day be able to be a mother, which she described as devastating. For that reason, she is currently in the process of suing the psychiatrist who treated her more than ten years ago for making the hasty recommendation to change her gender without additional psychiatric evaluation.
While it is true that the decision to do so rested solely with Jay, she alleges that the doctor was negligent in not recommending a second opinion. Today, we know that it was necessary for her to receive psychotherapy before undergoing the surgical procedure for sexual resignation.
In addition to psychotherapy and evaluations, there are some other phases to follow, such as evidence of persistent disagreement through a medical-psychological report. Subsequently, the stage of transgenderism begins where hormonal treatment is given as appropriate, while the last step is surgery.
Jay says that four years after her hysterectomy and during psychiatric treatment, “she realized she shouldn’t have had hormone therapy or any surgery,” adding that she identifies as a woman. With the lawsuit she has started against Dr. Patrick Toohey, she is seeking justice for the negligence.
