Sexually abused as a boy by a family member, combined with his grandmother's decision to secretly clothe him as a girl, Heyer struggled with gender dysphoria, sexual abuse, alcohol and drug abuse
SACRAMENTO, CA - It was 34 years to the day that Walt Heyer's birth certificate was changed from "male" to "female" that his restored birth certificate finally arrived in his mail reflecting his birth sex as "male."
Heyer's first attempt to restore his birth certificate was in 1989, after realizing his "sex reassignment surgery" was a grave mistake. He made numerous unsuccessful attempts over 28 years to restore his original certificate to "male." In 2017, with help from Liberty Counsel, Heyer was finally successful in having his birth certificate changed back to "male," after he had experienced numerous denials by the State of California.
Sexually abused as a boy by a family member, combined with his grandmother's decision to secretly clothe him as a girl, Heyer struggled with gender dysphoria, sexual abuse, alcohol and drug abuse. Heyer finally experienced restoration and healing from the transgender lifestyle after he embraced a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now, Heyerpublicly shares his story at numerous conferences and churches throughout the country, and he has been featured in the January 2017 publication of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association' Decision Magazine and in World Magazine in February of this year. Heyer's work on transgenderism includes 19 articles published in the federalist.com and nine articles published in thepublicdiscourse.com.
