Detransitioner pens new book about 'embracing God's design' after living as a woman for eight years
A man who lived as a woman for years believes those who struggle with their gender need to address the underlying issues that drive them to question their identity in order for them to "embrace" who God made them to be. Walt Heyer, 84, detransitioned 40 years ago after identifying as a woman for eight years. Heyer runs a ministry and website called "Sex Change Regret" where he says he's helped thousands of people who regret trying to change their gender. Heyer and Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, Director of the Center for Family Studies at the Family Research Council, spoke to Fox News Digital about their new book, "Embracing God's Design," which addresses "the spiritual and psychological crisis behind transgender identity." The book details the major players in the history of the transgender movement and argues that left-wing activism has influenced diagnostic and ethical standards in the counseling field and harmed patient care over the past two decades. The authors argue that uncovering the root causes of gender confusion is essential to treatment. They also give advice on how friends and family can help those struggling with their gender identity. Bauwens, a former trauma therapist and researcher, claims that a great number of people who experience gender confusion also were abused, neglected or had other adverse experiences in their childhood. Professional counseling standards have changed over the years and now push for affirming one's gender identity as part of treatment, she said, adding that this doesn't address the patient's trauma. "When you look at the data, around half of those who identify as transgender also report some type of abuse, whether it be emotional, psychological, physical, sexual abuse," Bauwens told Fox News Digital. "It's actually not only malpractice, it's borderline criminal to treat someone with a surgical procedure who clearly matches the profile of someone who's had really severe abuse," she said. "Some of the reasons that are used to quickly get people 'gender-affirming care,' such as suicidality, that's a very common experience of someone who's had abuse. Self-harm is a very common experience of somebody who's abused." Heyer's own history of gender confusion started at a young age with family members who abused him. "I was being cross-dressed by my grandma secretly and she was affirming me. She made me a purple chiffon evening dress and that was a secret for about two-and-a-half years," he explained. "When I decided to take the purple dress home and my parents found it, and they realized grandma had been cross-dressing me, and I was enjoying it as a four or five, 6-year-old boy, then the heavy discipline started with my father. Then his adopted teenage brother sexually molested me. So that's where the trauma comes in." Heyer started identifying as a female as a teenager and became an alcoholic in his 20s as he dealt with the grief from his father dying from cancer. He started taking cross-sex hormones and was eventually diagnosed with gender dysphoria in his 40s and underwent sex change surgery to live as "Laura Jensen" for eight years. He said his therapist "didn't take into account that I'd been sexually, physically and emotionally abused which was really the problem, and it wasn't gender dysphoria." "I've worked with thousands of people over the last 20 years. And when I work with them, I always ask them, what caused you to not like who you are?" Heyer said of his ministry. "When we dive into this discussion, they peel back the issues, and we look back, and we find out that they were sexually abused and emotionally abused, physically abused. They were abandoned. They were in foster care." "Something happened that caused them to not like who they are. It's not even a gender issue. That's why Jennifer referred to it as an identity issue. They like to say that it's a gender issue because then you can apply hormones in surgery, but that doesn't fix the problem." Heyer credits God for "redeeming and restoring his life," as well as a few Christian counselors who helped him to get sober, address his gender issues, and turn his life around. The Christian authors believe that the modern gender movement is a spiritual battle that should be taken seriously by people of faith. "The gender movement isn't just about erasing male or female. It's actually about erasing the very image of God and family, because family is the first place that we learn safety, security, and there are attributes of male and female that God has uniquely embedded in our DNA, in our design," Bauwens said. "And when you erase those or attempt to erase those, you're erasing an aspect of the very heart and nature of God." "We look at our young people in our world, especially our country right now, and many people are saying, 'why is there such a mental health crisis?' As if we can divorce this current issue from the very mental health crisis that we're trying to fix," she continued. "When you erase the very design of God, in a generation or try to do that, then we're left with people who have no identity, no rudder, no sense that there's a higher purpose to life, that there is meaning through relationship and how God made us… So I would argue that there's much more at stake with the battle we're facing. And it's really a good fight of faith that we are embracing here," Bauwens said.

‘Doing nothing is killing us': Worthington residents outraged over town's sewage issues
WORTHINGTON, (WBOY) — Residents of Worthington have become increasingly concerned over the town's sewage issues, with some even reporting that the issue is getting them sick. 12 News first brought you this story more than a year ago, and again in April 2025, but residents said the situation has not improved since. Nathan Kyer, a Worthington resident and a disabled veteran who is immunocompromised, told 12 News that sewage water rising into his property has been a problem for about eight years. However, what used to be a twice-a-year occurrence has now increased to two-to-three times a month. 'I get infections very easy. Sinus infections, upper respiratory, rashes on my skin, staph is a big one I have to watch for […] Had infection from where my open stitches are from a surgery I recently had, and my throat it's when up to my ears and you get tired of it,' said Kyer, who stayed at home for two months to stay safe after his surgery but now the sewage issues are affecting his health. Residents said that it's raw sewage soiling their basements, lawn and property, which happens during storms when the sewage system gets backed up. 'When we have storms, it's really bad. The system just can't handle it. It's vapor locks, I'm guessing. I used to build sewer systems, and it all backs up in the house. You call, the emergency number they have now took me to a free Amazon card drawing so I've had to call 911 before. There's an emergency number now where they have been answering, but then they contact the mayor and then it still took 18 hours for them to get out here last time, and I was having severe IBS,' 'I actually have to sleep in my bathroom sometimes, it gets so bad, and it's not acceptable, it's ridiculous, I've had to use five-gallon buckets and it's very demoralizing. It's in my house, my house stinks, I have animals, you know, it makes you really upset,' Kyer said. Kyer said that although the town has brought in portable toilets, in his case of IBS and being immunocompromised, it's not safe for him. 'It's destroyed all of his stuff, but when you have compromised immune systems and health issues, he can't be in these fumes, so we just try to help each other in cleaning this up but we need help, I mean we need help so bad, ' Andrea Zaleski, Worthington Resident who is one of multiple people helping clean her neighbors homes, said. Kyer has considered moving, but selling a house with a basement that is frequently under sewage water creates a challenge. 'I have a lot of equity right now, but I'm concerned that that equity is going to be gone and I'm going to have to take a loss just for my health and my animals,' Kyer said. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Worthington residents struggle with town's overflowing sewer system Kyer isn't the only resident in this situation; dozens of residents have come together to create the Worthington WV Sewage Crisis Facebook page dedicated to documenting the ongoing sewage problem. 'Turned into the EPA, we've tried government agencies. And we are getting government responses, but it's slow and it's not enough and there's a lot of us that are suffering from this,' Kyer said. 'When this goes into people's living spaces, they're exposed to the bacteria, to the mold that's formed from the stagnant water and solid materials. We're told to open a window, we were told by the DEP at one point to open a window, and I just can't accept that as an answer,' Zaleski said. In October 2024, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection informed the town about violations it found after an inspection. Zaleski said the town is currently working on a Plan of Corrective Action (POCA) on how to solve the issue, but Zaleski said, 'we have zero confidence that that's going to happen.' Residents like Zaleski said they've run out of options and turned to a protest non-vote in Tuesday's municipal election, which ended up having fewer than 10 voters, according to Delegate Phil Mallow. This means that the town's municipality could be at risk, but Zaleski said this is now the best course of action for the residents. 'We are trying to put together a declaration of no confidence in this administration and plead for the county commission to take over this issue for sewage. I understand that they're going through a process right now, but we've been told that for so long, and nothing happens. So I think that, and like I said, in their defense, I think this is just so overwhelming, they really—how would you know what to do? But doing nothing is killing us,' Zaleski said. According to West Virginia State Code, a municipality can forfeit its charter or certificate of incorporation if fewer than 20 legal votes are cast in its most recent election. Once the town's election results are certified, if fewer than 20 people voted, residents can petition the Marion County Court, and the town could be dissolved, leaving its 173 residents to be assimilated by the county. Former Buckhannon mayor sentenced on child porn charge Mallow, who recently attended a town meeting over the sewage issues and has contacted other officials to try and find a resolution, spoke with 12 News about this situation. 'I'm sure everybody's frustrated, but it just seems odd to me that if it's been going on since 2008 or 2018 or whatever the case may be, that all of a sudden it's come to a head,' Mallow said. Worthington town officials told 12 News they have 'no comment' regarding Worthington's municipality status, but that they are working on a statement about the sewage issues in the town. 'As of right now, our attorney is going to get some things ready to address the issue,' said the official. They added that town officials have plans to be interviewed by 12 News and another outlet, but did not provide a date for the interview. 'The statement will come out when everything is typed up and ready because we have a lot of evidence that we're going to present to prove what's going on,' the official said. The Marion County Commission has yet to reply to 12 News' request for comment on this story. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
