Walt Heyer

powerful story of redemption

Walt Heyer

Walt Heyer was a husband, father, and corporate executive who underwent so-called “gender reassignment surgery” at the age of 42, identifying as a woman for eight years. Through an encounter with Jesus Christ and the support of a loving church, Walt got his life back (“detransitioned” and has been restored for over 30 years.

Walt Heyer speaks and writes passionately about safeguarding children from experimental intervention (improperly called “gender affirming care”), testifying before legislative bodies, writing 8 books and over 60 articles, addressing audiences around the world, and appearing in countless documentaries, interviews, and podcasts.

Walt serves as Senior Fellow at Family Research Council and his latest book, Embracing God’s Design, is co-authored with FRC colleague, Jennifer Bauwens, Ph. D.
