Walt Heyer is a man who tried to become a woman and realised, when it was too late, that it’s a mental disorder.
He was born in Los Angeles in 1940 and had a difficult childhood, being sexually abused by his uncle and physically abused by his father. As a result, he felt like he didn’t fit in with other boys and often wished he were a girl.
When Walt was 42 years old, he underwent gender reassignment surgery and ‘became’ a woman named Laura Jensen for eight years, but eventually realised that he had made a mistake.
He ‘detransitioned’ in 1991 and began speaking out against transgenderism.
This is my conversation with him.
