Man Received 167 Sex-Change Surgeries, Lives in a World of Regret

Blair Logsdon’s story is a cautionary tale for anyone today who is considering the use of cross-gender hormones and gender change surgery to feel better about themselves.

Blair underwent 167 surgeries from 1987 to 2005 in his quest to resolve gender dysphoria with surgery. On a cold, snowy December morning in a Maryland coffee shop, he shared with me his story.

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.
