What The Media Should Know About Walt Heyer And "Transition Regrets"
But while he was granted a platform to comment on transgender issues, Heyer's experience isn't reflective of the experiences of the overwhelming majority of transgender people; he even
admits that he was "misdiagnosed" and was actually suffering with "a dissociative disorder that required talk therapy, not surgery." His views about transitioning
aren't rooted in research or medical expertise. The idea that many transgender people experience "transition regrets" has been
widely debunked and contradicts the positions of
major professional medical organizations, which all view transitioning as an important and beneficial step for people who identify with a gender identity that doesn't correspond with their biological sex.
When he's not appearing on a major cable news network, Heyer is a source of extreme transphobic commentary. He's alled gender reassignment surgery a "
modern day frontal lobotomy," asserted that parents who help their children transition should be punished with "
at least 20 years in prison," and has called Chaz Bono a "
poser transgender" because "she has resisted having a 'Snoopy' attached."
That kind of extremism has made Heyer a favorite of
anti-gay hate groups, including
MassResistance and
Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, who tout his story as proof that being transgender is a mental problem that can be treated or cured. But it also makes Heyer an odd choice for mainstream media outlets, which should be emphasizing the commentary of experts rather than fringe voices.
they still should be treated with dignity intact regardless even if they if that were the case. shyt ain't that hard.
. I don't treat the hallucinations of a schizophrenic person like something real
