May I propose retrovert, retroversion for this. It doesn't seem to be burdened with the degraded connotation of 'regression' or the complex legal senses of 'reversion'.
In checking whether such a word existed I found retromingency: urinating backwards.

WOW, I've only heard transubstantiation
used eucharistically.

OED has several definitions.
Only one refers (secondarily) to eucharist.

it's a characteristic of certain animals (big ones like lions & elephants, and most females), a zoological term; also used fig. and disparagingly.
