The ‘Sex Change’ I Had 40 Years Ago Was A Scam, Not Medicine
by Walt Heyer, Federalist, March 23, 2023. This April marks 40 years since my therapist told me a “sex change” was the only answer to my persistent mental difficulties. As I learned through my painful experience, ‘gender affirming treatment’ is medical fraud and malpractice.

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.
I returned to identifying as male more than 30 years ago. I learned the truth: Hormones and surgery may alter appearances, but nothing changes the immutable fact of your sex.
I met a wonderful woman who didn’t care about the changes to my body, and we’ve been married for over 25 years. Now we help others whose lives have been derailed by sex change.

When a child is struggling, they need compassionate care – not experimental hormones and surgery.
Make an authentic life your Priority.

So many people who change genders realize later that abuse in their lives contributed to their gender distress feelings. Changing genders is not the proper treatment for overcoming childhood trauma or abuse. Find someone who will address the underlying source of your distress without prescribing hormones or surgery.
