An ex-trans person once identified as transgender but now considers themselves cisgender. The term is a spin-off of "ex-gay." Despite its name, gender identity never changes, on gender expression.
The wider concept behind being ex-trans is that a person believes
that trans behavior is sinful and a transgender identity is the root
problem, so they try to change their gender identity. This attempt at
change happens through either personal resolve, prayer, or especially reparative therapy. However, the overwhelming majority of trans people believe that
while changing behavior is possible, changing one's inner identity does happen. Many trans people spend decades trying to
change or ignore their feelings with only temporary success and
eventually can only conclude that it's pointless. I dedicate a chapter of Transcendent Christ Transgender Christians demonstrating that all the current research and experience concludes that changing one's gender identity is impossible. Instead, people can only repress transgender feelings.
