UK: University Bans Study on Those Who Regret Sex Change

A university is refusing to allow a counselor who specializes in transgender mental health to study transgender people who regret having a sex change because the school says the study isn’t “politically correct.”

The Daily Caller and the BBC report on James Caspian, a U.K. psychotherapist studying transgenders who transition back to their birth gender at the U.K.’s Bath Spa University. Caspian said he thought it was important to study people who had changed their minds after receiving sex-reassignment surgery because no research has been conducted on this group of people.

The university originally accepted his proposal but later changed its mind saying “engaging in a potentially politically incorrect piece of research carries a risk to the university.”

Caspian said that the university added it would be better not to offend people.
