This man regretted trying to become a woman

🕰️ This was recorded in 2021

Walt Heyer is an American man who once pretended to be a woman for eight years and now shares his story to caution others about the pitfalls of ‘gender transition’. To be clear, he chopped off his junk and took all sorts of female hormones, only to regret it a few years later, unable to reverse the self-inflicted harm.

He created an organisation, called Sex Change Regret, which helps others with a similar experience.

Walt correctly argues that men can’t become women and that many who go down that road are struggling with bigger issues, like trauma or mental health, which need proper care, not surgery.

Walt took me through his sad and depressing journey. There is a silver lining, though.

He is happily (re)married.
