A man who had a sex change operation paid for by the NHS has said he feels “betrayed” by medics who left him with lifelong pain because he did not want to be gay.
Detransitioner Ritchie Herron, 35, says that he was “very vulnerable” when he told doctors and psychiatrists that he was confused over his gender.
But rather than examine the homophobia that he had experienced or why he felt that way, his therapists told him that it was because he was trans, he says.
