In 2016, Debbie Hayton underwent gender reassignment surgery. Fast forward to today, and Hayton's refusal to validate the standard gender identity orthodoxy has led to excommunication by the trans activist community. What happened? Transsexual Apostate weaves an intimate account of Debbie's story into a forensic critique of trans ideology. Focussing mainly on transwomen, she examines the reality of male autogynephilia and argues that the vast majority of transwomen are men with a psychological disorder that needs to be managed compassionately. Trans activists should give up their quasi-religious claims and cynical power plays and acknowledge the legitimate issues that many have with their agenda. Hayton's honest, humane book shows that accepting reality will allow transwomen to live their best lives based on the truth of who they are, rather than the fantasy of who they are not.
