Transsexual Apostate: My Journey Back to Reality

In this gripping, personal account, Debbie weaves an intimate experience of gender transition and the impact on the individual, family and friends.

‘Transwomen are men: Get over it’ – a personal account of how one transsexual did get over it, and found satisfaction and contentment as a result.

My book, Transsexual Apostate: My Journey Back to Reality will be published by Forum Press on 8 February 2024.

Press Release

Debbie Hayton is a physics teacher, trade unionist and a transwoman. She transitioned in 2012, and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2016. In the years that followed, she came to understand that the ideology around gender identity is false and misleading. Her views are based upon material reality: while we should not be limited by our sex, we cannot deny our sex. Once a prominent voice on the TUC’s LGBT+ committee, she has now effectively been excommunicated by the trans activist community. What happened?

In this gripping, personal account, Debbie weaves an intimate experience of gender transition and the impact on the individual, family and friends. But the book is more than a memoir. Focussing particularly on transwomen, Debbie explores the reasons why some people claim to be trans. It’s not because they have a ‘gender identity’. Instead, Debbie gets to the root of the issue – a condition called autogynephilia* which possibly affects up to 3% of men – and explores what happens when middle aged men become infatuated with the thought of themselves as a woman.

This is a psychological condition that needs to be managed compassionately and with understanding, Debbie argues. This means giving up the bizarre quasi-religious claims and
cynical power plays that have come to characterize most trans-rights activists’ arguments, at a major cost to the truth, female safety, and political sanity.

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.

That’s great news, Debbie – you’re a talented writer and clear thinker, and I look forward to reading it. As far as I know, this will be a new aspect in the GC book pantheon. Having followed your work for some time now, I think your perspective provides a much needed balance between corrective education and compassion (the tough and the love in tough love), when it is so tempting – and we are encouraged by social media – to drift into more and more extreme positions.
