Walter Heyer Pt 1 - From Walt to Laura to Walt - a transgender's story

Walter Heyer relates his fascinating life story while detailing the causes and effects of gender dysphoria.

[@annagrinberg70]

As parents, we are afraid of strangers babysitting our children. Little that we know, it could be our own family damaging the child so severely. Poor guy, G-d bless him.

[@Joyce-wh6rd]

We do our best, but our school system now is damaging what we are trying to do , it’s too sad that they impose their sick ideas on our innocent children. Lord have mercy

[@LuisaD93]

Anna Grinberg Amen 🙏

[@firefox7801]

The most likely person to abuse a child are the parents themselves, followed by closest family members

[@Gina-bt7qk]

Look at how forgiving he is. This is why he is doing so well.

[@KingsDaughter1958]

Only Jesus Christ can make such a change in a person's heart!

[@CodyCole80]

I think his grandmother was longing for a grandDAUGHTER that she could dress up instead of a grandson. It was selfish of her to make him live out HER FANTASY. 😒

[@Gina-bt7qk]

Codycole80 yep,. Get a baby doll!

[@KingsDaughter1958]

I too THOUGHT I longed for a granddaughter, but the minute we saw the sonogram and discovered God had other plans (!), I went and bought my little Ethan a jumpy seat thingy that looked like an old car ("Jitter Buggy") and he LOVED it! (Notice I didn't say I went out and bought him a pink Barbie car.) Walt's grandmother was twisted, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I'll bet she had her own interesting life story that made her that (sick) way. We're all in need of a Savior. Thank God for His Son, Jesus Christ and His sacrifice to save us from our sickness and sins. Bow the knee, as Walt has done.

[@rachybaby72]

She abused him. That's sick what she did, and I hope she was around to see the fruits of her labour.

[@pedinurse1]

she was the psycho

[@Marlenenabi]

Yes. She was very selfish.

[@gapeach4102]

Within 2 min of watching this, his grandma is sick.

[@subzero6190]

Sick grandma because she's a female, if it was grandpa.. A monster

[@AMYP6]

Children are precious. Protect them, play with them, teach them. They are not dolls!!!!!

[@JD-zb4ve]

The exact same thing happened to a cousin of mine. His mother dressed him up since she always wanted a girl and already had 2 boys. He had issues for the rest of his life.

[@sammyv6888]

J D Evil selfish lady. Poor boy

[@jello2199]

Heartbreaking what he went through as a kid.

[@carrie2518]

He's so extremely thoughtful, analytical and intelligent.

[@vantrinh5286]

EVERY ADULT in this story was doing it wrong to Walter: the grandmother, the molesting uncle, the parents and the psychiatrist. MORAL OF THE STORY: communicate with your children and teach them that “secrets” should not exist between them and anyone, however close

[@KingsDaughter1958]

A molesting parent is not going to be teaching their child not to let secret exist ... just saying

[@candacehamel5559]

The parents were no help either, they never believed him

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

Van Trinh ; (quote)" teach them that “secrets” should not exist between them and anyone" Think about that. No one will ever trust them! Not good. Teach them what should and should not be secret.

[@LuisaD93]

Van Trinh absolutely

[@fernandocb7610]

....Walt is One of the bravest and most valuable people I have ever seen. He is one of those heroes sent to earth to carry a cross with the divine purpose of helping thousands. .. My respect and admiration for YOU..Walt.

[@juliawitt3813]

What a truly remarkable man. He is so very articulate. So sad that they didnt take him for some therapy immediately, I guess they didn't know.

[@twominutetips]

What a well spoken, detailed explanation of this poor man's life. And what a fantastic advocate he is by using his own experience to help others.

[@elenah48]

so incredibly sad....my heart hurts for this child (and the man he became)

[@KingsDaughter1958]

But God is taking Walt's story and using it for HIS good! Only in eternity will we know how Walt's bold witness has impacted others for the Kingdom! Jesus continues to work ALL things for His good for those who worship Him!

[@festivelady826]

@elenah48 - Me, too, girl. I cried just listening to him telling about how confused his mind was. And that family of his! It's a wonder he didn't commit suicide. God bless him for sharing his story!

[@hadbetterdays8118]

At least he's moving forward

[@AMYP6]

I hate when parents don't listen to their children!!! Disgusting.

[@LuisaD93]

AMYP6 I absolutely agree! Shameful

[@beverleybrangman2191]

What a very sad story of how wrong seeds can be planted by family members. Some of us have things happen , but never get to talk about them to our parents. Secrets are kept to protect family members, but wound children in their souls. The failure to believe children who do tell is a tragedy and double wound. Thank you for sharing your story. It is time for healing and restoration to God’s purpose for our lives.

[@its-krisann5094]

The human mind and heart can be so delicate. This is a very sad and eye opening story.

[@k9koulla415]

Poor Walter. He did not deserve the indoctrination and abused by his own family. I blame Grandma, Uncle Fred and the parents. They should be punished not Walt.

[@KingsDaughter1958]

Truth and justice will prevail - someday.

[@LuisaD93]

K9Koulla absolutely agree 💯

[@kafejava]

I really appreciate Walter. So glad he's sharing his story.

[@rhodamarshal1711]

My heart aches as I listened, but the pain is nothing compared to joy and gratefulness in my heart. God loves you so much. He has been with you from the beginning

[@radhadas3339]

This poor man! How could someone's own Grandmother do this to their grandchild! The things he had to go through. This is so sad and I believe every word he says.

[@reneew6824]

This is the first time I understand the pain and torture that transgender people go through,God Bless you for sharing your story

[@jennpiach]

So hearbreakin💔 i feel so much sadness for this man😢 such a sweet soul. GOD IS WITH U AND WILL NEVER LEAVE U.Seems as if same seeds they planting in childerens minds in schools.

[@spiritisalive1]

I wonder what happened with the grandmother that would cause her to do that to him? I wonder if she had struggles of her own? I know I boy I grew up with, his mom wanted a girl, but she just had the one son. She encouraged him to dress up, & to play with dolls (she even turned a spare bedroom into a doll room for him). It had over 500 Barbie dolls, most still in boxes. As a little girl, I thought the doll room was like walking in Disney Land. We would play for hours with the dolls. I remember as a child thinking it was a little strange him being a boy playing with dolls. But his mom would always defend her decision to buy him dolls & dress up clothing. When he graduated high school he came out of the closet. I always wondered, if she had just accepted him as a little boy, would his life turned out the same?

[@CodyCole80]

Spiritisalive1 ... WOW! That was his mother’s selfishness. She didn’t want to accept that she had a BOY instead of a girl.

[@rachelthomas8853]

Spiritisalive1 pray for him ,God will do the rest ,he will fund his way in Jesus name

[@KingsDaughter1958]

My (late) sister wasn't THAT "aggressive" in feminizing her second boy ... if she had done something that overt, I know several of us in the family would have stepped in [it's a complex story]. But she DID coddle him and baby him and give him a boy doll and in the end, he (not surprising to any of us) came out of the closet to all of us just months after she died (after a 15-year battle with breast cancer). He thinks he's a Christian because he was baptized as a boy and "I love God; this is just the way He made me." I have talked to him, sent him an understanding-the-struggle type letter with the Pure Passion DVD "Such were some of you" (I doubt he watched it), and yet tried to assure him I love him but that he's headed down the road to destruction. Prayer seems our only recourse as we watch his deviant lifestyle play out on Facebook. It is heartbreaking the grip Satan has on so many.

[@golkeeper8517]

this should be shown in schools instead of the gender agenda

[@JayJay-lr5wm]

Satan we getting to the bottom of this... what a journey, thank you for sharing, am watching in 2019

[@barbedgirl]

[@zaradimple3980]

How could that woman destroy this mans life.

[@flamelily2086]

His grandmother groomed him to be a girl and the same thing is being done to little kids today. They are being groomed to believe they are trans.

[@livetwice7702]

Good Heavens how this man has suffered , god bless you sir , you are brave and strong and truthful

[@joyceg6645]

This Is So Very Sad. Thank You Walter For Speaking Out And God Bless You. I Am Sure You Have Helped A Lot Of People.

[@zuzueli4189]

Several people distroyed his life.

[@Gina-bt7qk]

Grandma got him hooked on "love". What a horrible selfish thing to do. And the said thing is many mothers and women do this to their children. The women are looking for fulfillment and sucking their children dry. And then the grandma got angry with him, as if he started it!

[@fishouttawtr]

Hey Gina, I'm an old 65'er myself, so true are your words, there are so many parents and grandparents that really don't have the maturity it takes to be parents, and, very sad

[@tamarabradshaw4799]

I love hearing this man's testimony. I just wish that more and more people would come out with the truth. He was receiving love from his Gramma for performing a certain way. She essentially brainwashed him then punishes him for her selfishness by withdrawing her love and approval. Wow.

[@sopranosd]

This poor guy - With the sexual abuse, the rigid discipline (which as it gets more violent becomes more sexual) and the parents who neither believed him nor protected him from the sick uncle, dealing with weird grandma and her purple dress were the least of his worries. What a nightmare.

[@KingsDaughter1958]

The grandmother probably wasn't just weird with him - her sick mind raised one of his parents. It was a cycle, of that you can be sure.

[@JayJay-lr5wm]

Human beings are spirit, before we are placed in a body, our gender is already determined by God, so changing your body doesn't change the real you...

[@lagospickin]

May God bless you Dear Walt. It is so hard when the people that you look up to, are the ones who hurt you. Your Uncle chose to be a tool for the devil. Please forgive him so that the devil may be shamed.

[@johnx5891]

Extremely important: a child wants attention. How do these kids get attention? Mr. Heyer is a most courageous man.

[@MarkPDub]

David, thank you for sharing this!

[@glossyflossy745]

This is absolutely heartbreaking 😥poor Walter how have you survived? You are an inspiration to us all

[@richardbedford6657]

I share a lot with Walt, I don't remember any abuse. I did have a distant father and 2 younger sisters. I felt the loss of the focus of attention from my mother. Anger, depression, suicidal ideation, jealousy of my sisters. This at 6 years old. It left me mentally a woman. .

[@jonathanclouse7139]

I came from a similar family dynamic. I started crossdressing when my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was my way of coping with the possibility of losing her. I also first began learning about Christine Jorgensen at that time. Needless to say, I was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder, and had spent some time on cross sex hormones. But I thank God 1)that my parents refused to "affirm" my feelings and 2)that I was not financially able to pursue more radical treatments. Yes, at the time I was frustrated and angry. I even told my Mom that "I would kill myself if I wasn't a woman by the time I turned 30." But in the end, those factors bought me time to fully examine my life, explore my feelings, and spend years in therapy before I finally realized that I wasn't a woman on the inside, I was created as a man by God, and to permanently change that would be wrong.

[@veronicalake2751]

The Grandmother is The Person Who Was At Fault.! The parents should have sent him to a doctor To Tell His Story.! The Lord Blessed him For The Truth.! Thank you.! 🇺🇸 😊👍🏼

[@SkyandQuill]

This man's family had serious mental health issues

[@Gina-bt7qk]

So much for the myth, "I was born this way."

[@RachelGerrard]

One of the most evil memes ever created

[@sherrywoodard1170]

Absolutely!!! It’s seeds planted

[@PrincessAfrica3]

Gina 1965 sometimes a child is born with a spirit of homosexuality, because of a generation curse or spirit. They accept this spirit, while it should be cast out in Jesus name. Thats why they “feel” like they are born that way.

[@motherearth5462]

You are an amazing person. Thank you for sharing!

[@neoblue9831]

it s so painful to hear Walt's story and what an amazing person he is helping others now

[@LuisaD93]

This poor guy ! His family really messed him up . What a sad story . I wish him all the love , healing and strength he can find !

[@laurenforyou1]

Uncle Fred's abominable attempt at abuse led to harsher treatment of this poor young man? So so much confusion and pain

[@jezusfreak1234]

Honestly. I don't know how I would have reacted to my mom again. I might have marched my child over to my mom immediatly and sack it to her. I have a son and I kept him protected from people until I knew he was old enough, and I kept telling about the evil people can do. If my mom or parents was around I would have never thought a parent could do that. Wow so sad. Walter. I'm sorry for what you had to go through. Thank God for healing your heart. I saw your story this morning on Daystar from half way. Got me to look you up. God loves you. Past is erased.

[@runsontrails1164]

Wow. As a grandparent i am shocked the grandma made him keep a secret.....and he kept a secret! I would never ask a child to keep a secret from the parents. I grew up with a neighbor boy who dressed constantly in his moms clothes. I wonder what happened to him.

[@tunkytunky]

Runs On Trails yeah as a mom it's hard to imagine. I guess we both raise our families to be really open!

[@celesteadeanes4478]

Runs On Trails years ago, secrecy was not taboo later social reform opened the eyes of parents , people in general , released information since civil rights days. Innocence , and just plain ignorance ...naivety, reigned supreme.

[@davisneves]

blessings to these victims, prayers this cycle will be exposed & ended

[@sherrywoodard1170]

Omg this story tears my heart apart

[@glnakeith3199]

Satan destroys lives. I feel for the suffering this man went through. I'm a 56 year old female who was sexually molested by my father for years. If it hadn't been for God I don't where I would be today, but I still am dealing with the after effects.

[@JesusLovesYouSoMuch1]

Gina you are so strong!! God is with you always. May he wrap you in his loving arms and fill your love with his presence. Love you!

[@crispychrissy4209]

I've never been threw this and I never will think about doing this but I like Walter Heyer he's smart.

[@eli4shawt]

Idk what I would have done if I were him going through this in the 40s that would be terrible

[@rosalbahamer994]

His memories very clear

[@elissabellajoy]

Thank you, Walter. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. I'm really happy to know you've found your identity and purpose in Christ 🙌 God bless you and keep you, and use you to reach generations hurting left and right, being pressured and confused from birth.🙏💖 I find that it's way too common for parents or grandparents to desire a child of a different gender and go overboard by naming them a new name, cross-dressing them, etc. 😢😢

[@godisnotmocked1345]

"God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes" (Rev. 21:4). Thank you Jesus!

Alguém, por favor, poderia inserir no vídeo legenda em português ou espanhol? Queria muito entender o testemunho.

[@mmpoggs2033]

What I have found is that regardless of who you marry or who you are born to or by it just is not ok to project your desires onto another or live vicariously through another or make another carry your burden. We don't have any call on another. What a super person who has opened up a pathway for us to understand a bit of other peoples complications and suffering. love to Walter.

[@dominiquejenkins5495]

Grandma is dead wrong for that.... Smh

[@sherrywoodard1170]

Dominique Jenkins she was very wrong 😣

[@cassandrarose6322]

As a grandmother, I am appalled at this grandmother's behaviour. It is a form of child abuse. Getting angry because the child told is indefensible.

[@kimvannote5024]

Child Abuse - Big Time

[@QU33N_B33_]

You were looking for acceptance and love from someone or somewhere.. your grandma was sick but so were your parents because they were so abusive it was their fault for not encouraging and showing you how great you are!! You are an amazing person and unique to the world!

[@mbutts1139]

So sad how he was abused as a child. What his grandmother did was terrible.

[@janburn007]

I wonder if the family members who created this man's confusion to start with, have ever been held to account for their behaviour towards him, or ever became aware of how they were responsible for his confusion, during their life time. I also wonder whether his father, his mother, & his uncle were ever brought to account for the child abuse he suffered at their hands - the ultra-disciplinarian father, the uncle who molested him when he was a child, & the mother who took no action when informed of the molestation he had suffered at the hands of his uncle. I wonder whether these people were ever named & shamed or in some way held to account for their mistreatment of him.

[@PT2016-3]

That grandma must had been demon possessed. How could you do it to your child and grand child. Anything secret is evil and she knew it that’s why she taught that little innocent boy to keep secrets from his parents 👿

[@bethanieboo962]

It’s amazing how adults can ruin a child life

Behavioral development and a child's environment has such a huge influence on the pysche of a person all throughout life. Even in utero, environment has influence.

[@bballgeekcorner]

What are your thought on autogynaphelia? Any testimonies specific to that type of transgenderism?

[@RestoredHopeNet]

It is no doubt the precursor to transvestism. We do have a few testimonies about transvestism and from drag queens in our film, TranZformed" - "TranZformed: Finding Peace with Your God-Given Gender" documentary website: www.TranZformed.org

[@janicegibb6484]

Thank you that you are now able to help others come through to reality

[@brendawinner2587]

God bless you sir, I am so sorry for what your grandmother started.

[@veggiesaremurder]

Actually, most trans people come from extremely strict conservative households, and not from people who allow their kids to dress themselves and play the way they choose. I was quite feminine as a young girl, but went through a very long tomboy phase. Because nothing was pushed on me, I never felt like a boy just because I was dressed like one. I'm so thankful I wasn't a child in 2018 because many girls who are tomboys nowadays are pushed to transition to male! That's crazy to me! Just let kids be kids and if your child has true gender dysphoria, don't shame them, but get them real help. Don't put them under the knife.

[@eli4shawt]

I can heavily relate to this

[@smiley2477]

This shows you how impressionable kids are.

[@joansolomon1194]

Notice that the "doctor" does not even Try to address the concern? Right away the most extreme - and expensive- option. No trying to sort through the problem, no family counselling, no option.

[@GregoryPichler]

I am not a transitioner. I have never been a transitioner. I have never effected a detransition from being one sex to go back to one's original sex. I imagine that would physically be a difficult process and sympathize with anyone, whose addiction towards a gender transition caused them to mutilate their body contrary to their health interests in the pursuit of the impossible. In his letter published on reddit.com, dated September 10, 2019, Abbley, Pansexual-Transgender Woman cautions detransitions not to speak out against the transgender community in a very public and damaging way as a number of transitioners are genuinely happy with their decisions. Abbley references Walt Heyer as example. [1] Regarding the proposition that some people are genuinely happy effecting a gender transition, I disagree. It is not that simple. Gender transitioning is a behavioral addiction much like a sex addiction that in the absence of proper treatment never concludes well. Some people are in stage five of the addiction, Exhaustion, and are disinterested in further energies spent on transitioning, while some people are in stage four of the addiction, Rapid Cycling, and are seeking further surgeries and other things they can do to achieve the same level of transitioning satisfaction they felt after the first major surgery. In all cases a gender transition is effectively an out-of-control train to nowhere. In all cases an individual who is sexually developed suffers from a behavioral addiction and not gender identity disorder. An Autoerotic Addiction disorder is routinely misdiagnosed as a Gender Identity disorder due to idealogical reasons. [2] All of the transitioners I have met (some I interviewed) have one thing in common in their respective life history; they all had a relative on their father's side who struggled with addiction. whether the relative was a father, an uncle or a grandfather on their father's side. The reason is the gene that causes addiction is passed from father to child, three times more likely to be passed to a male child than a female child. That is why the male to female ratio of transsexualism has been for the longest time 3:1. Now, due to the rise of the Internet and awareness of the possibility to change sexes and the imbalance of social opportunities between the sexes the proportion of female transsexuals have risen slightly out of proportion. In many cases gender transitioners, themselves, suffer from a multitude of addictions, both substance addictions and behavioral addictions. The reason is addictions rarely occur in isolation. As Abbley's posting was directed at Walt Heyer, I would like to thank Walt Heyer for his advocacy on the de-transition subject space as well as his personal efforts in caring for people like himself, whose transition became an out-of-control train to nowhere. Abbley is not doing people, who suffer from the same addiction he suffered from, any favors by affirming their transition as being well founded or appropriate for their respective health interests. On the contrary Abbley is contributing to their living, breathing delusion that one can be born in the wrong body and ultimately their life misery as their addiction advances to stage five. [1] Abbley's posting, published September 10, 2019 on reddit.com www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/d27q37/dear_detransitioners_extransgender_people/ [2] See material on Transsexualism as a Behavioral Addiction below. www.transgression.com/Books/TheTranssexualDelusion/OnlineMaterial/BehavioralAddiction.aspx?CountryISONumericCode=124&LanguageISOAlpha2Code=en G Eugene Pichler transgression.com
