"This surgery is absolutely destructive" -- sad message from former transgender to warn others
What the activists don't tell you . . .
POSTED: June 16, 2011

http://www.massresistance.org/docs/govt11/->-bleeped-<-_bill/testimony/walt_heyer.html (http://www.massresistance.org/docs/govt11/-%3E-bleeped-%3C-_bill/testimony/walt_heyer.html)

The Transgender Bill hearing included a lot of well-rehearsed stories of discrimination and anguish by transgender activists because they're not accepted by society. Thus, they say, a law is needed to force that. (See our analysis of the Transgender Bill H502.)

But there's another, much darker side to that story that doesn't get out: The fraudulent and destructive nature of the transgender movement and the harm it does to vulnerable people.

But MassResistance was at the hearing to tell that side of it. As we mentioned in our last email, we were submitting testimony from the daughter of a man who "became" a woman, and testimony from a happily recovered transgender female.

At least he has a point of referance for his opinion. Most that stand against us have no background to justify that opposition.
He does. Granted I think he is wrong but he does have credibility of 'being there' to back his play. Unlike those who would persecute us bassed on primitive writtings of mad men who were hearing voices of gods and angels.

"Former transgender" appears to be the new "ex-gay." Should be interesting to see how long until he falls off the wagon.

It seems that he obviously rushed the process, although he did not say it.  I have live full time for almost three years and I look forward to the day I am complete.  I feel sorry that he could not feel complete in his own skin.  But to deny that choice for others is purely bigoted.

This really isn't something to get too worried about.

I doubt even the likes of Sarah Palen would risk supporting these anti-American nutters.

Homosexuals, lesbians and transgenders were not born that way, no, not at all. Despite an enormous amount of research being done, no scientific evidence can be found to substantiate this view, yet it is reported as fact. My new book, Paper Genders, provides a well-researched look in the homosexual activist movement and how everyone, including the media, runs and hides from this group of bullies and sexual predators.

The question is: Who has the courage and conviction to stand up for our young kids and our families?

If you go to my websites www.tradingmysorrows.com (http://www.tradingmysorrows.com) and www.sexchangeregret.com (http://www.sexchangeregret.com) you will find a lot more information.


So gay and trans activists are bullies and sexual predators?

This was nothing more than a thinly veiled plug for his book, in my honest opinion. Sensationalism to gain extra copy.

You nailed it April Dawne!

On another note, regardless of whether or not he has lived this experience; his experience is not my experience.
He can only speak for himself and not the rest of us. I see him as nothing more than a carpet-bagging charlatan
making a living off of an attempt to ruin others lives.

I'd also like to know where these people get the idea that we (the trans community) use strong-arm tactics or peer pressure or some other form of coercion to "force" transition on "poor confused young people."

I've never heard of that happening. Fear tactics used to demonize us further and make people afraid of us.

Probably by watching 1950's homophobic scaremongering public service films, which did exactly the same: persuade the public there's a threat just by inventing one.

Quote from: articleWe were also contacted by a Walt Heyer, a man whose surgery to "change" him into a female has had horrific long-term effects for him.

Men can be changed into women?  This is startling news.

Quote from: Walt HeyerIn fact, it is categorically impossible to change someone's gender.

At least Walt learned something from his experience.  Unfortunately, he was supposed to figure out his gender before irreversible surgery.

When I was growing up, there was a saying "look before you leap."
