A woman who had a double mastectomy when she lived as a trans man is now planning to have surgery to get her breasts back.
Alia Ismail, now 28, came out as a transgender man when she was 18 and began a medical transition that saw her take hormones and have her breasts removed at 20.
But in February 2021, Alia, a barber from Detroit, Michigan, decided to detransition after realizing that her new identity as a trans man didn’t represent who she was.
