A former transgender woman praised laws banning transgender procedures for minors in a Wednesday interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“They’re too young to be doing these procedures,” Walt Heyer said of young people who go through gender transitions. “They end up mutilating their bodies and destroying their lives, and by the time they’re 21 or 22 years old, they wish they’d never done it.”
“So the only way we can protect them is to make sure that they’re not introduced to any of these procedures or hormone blockers until they’re at least 19 years old,” he added. “And then take a different look at it.”
After he was diagnosed with gender dysphoria, Heyer underwent cross-gender hormone therapy and obtained a surgical gender change in 1983 at age 42, he previously told the DCNF. He now runs the website Sex Change Regret and said he frequently interacts with people, both young and old, who are grappling with sex changes they cannot reverse.
