Hormones, surgery, regret:
I identified as a transgender woman for 8 years
My name is Walt Heyer and in April of 1983 I had “gender reassignment” surgery. At first I was giddy for the fresh start. But hormones and “sex change” genital surgery couldn’t solve the underlying issues driving my dysphoria.
