Ex-Trans

An ex-trans person once identified as transgender but now considers themselves cisgender.  The term is a spin-off of "ex-gay."  Despite its name, even ex-trans people have permanent transgender feelings.

The wider concept behind being ex-trans is that a person believes that trans behavior is sinful and a transgender identity is the root problem, so they try to change their gender identity. This attempt at change happens through either personal resolve, prayer, or especially reparative therapy. However, the overwhelming majority of trans people believe that while changing behavior is possible, changing one's inner identity does happen. Many trans people spend decades trying to change or ignore their feelings with only temporary success and eventually can only conclude that it's pointless. I dedicate a chapter of my book demonstrating that all the current research and experience concludes that changing one's gender identity is impossible. Instead, people can only repress transgender feelings.
