The New Adventures of Old Christine: When L.A. Times sports writer Mike Penner announced to the world in April 2007 that he was now Christine Daniels, he became the most celebrated transsexual since Renee Richards made a splash on the women's tennis circuit in 1977. But about a year and a half later, he went back to work as Mike Penner, and hasn't discussed his experience since. A new article looks at the phenomenon of "transgender regret." "It's unfortunate and it's relatively uncommon but certainly not unheard of," says Denise Leclair, executive director of the International Foundation for Gender Education, a Waltham, Mass.-based transgender advocacy group. "The simplest way to think about it is being trans is something that never goes away. ... There's just a fairly constant social pressure to just go back. You don't have to be a genius to understand that society doesn't really accept this." When I met Christine at the NLGJA conference in San Diego that year, she certainly wasn't at a loss for words. Would love to hear more. (USA Today)
