Thirty-four-year-old Aerin Bailey of Sheffield, Yorkshire—named Alice at birth—began struggling with gender dysphoria at age 16 as a result of her difficulty in forming friendships. She did what most people do when struggling—she went to the doctor. It turned out to be a fateful and life-altering decision.

"When she went to her GP to discuss her feelings, she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria after her second appointment and referred to a gender-identity clinic, which she attended two months later," the Daily Mail reported this month.

"At the clinic, she was given two questionnaires to fill out at home, and used information found on YouTube and via the charity Gender Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES) to fill in what she thought were the 'right' answers to secure hormones and surgery."

That was all it took. In less than six months, Bailey was taking male hormones without a single therapy session being necessary. By age 18, she had changed her name to "Aaron." At 22, she had a double mastectomy courtesy of the UK National Health Service. She was on the waiting list for further sex change surgeries when she changed her mind.

Bailey felt trapped. She did not "feel right" identifying as a man but felt that with the hormones she'd taken and the surgeries she'd undergone, she had no choice but to continue on. And she tried, for 15 years.

"It was only after 15 'miserable' years as a man that Aerin, then named Aaron, was diagnosed with autism in 2018, followed by an ADHD diagnosis in 2025," the Daily Mail reported. "She said she now realizes she was never transgender—but was 'an autistic female struggling with the discrimination faced by women.' She detransitioned back to female in December 2024, changing her name to Aerin, and now finally feels happy in her body."

When she made the decision, she had to shave off her beard.

"The whole investigation into changing my gender wasn't thorough enough," Bailey said. "I was unwell with anxiety and low self-esteem at the time and nothing was picked up on. No individual or clinic was responsible for what happened, but as a whole the gender identity service in general let me down. People just didn't inquire enough about my decision, so I ended up living a lie and felt miserable."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
