To the Massachusetts Judiciary Committee

Testimony regarding Bill H502

[Submitted at hearing by MassResistance]

June 8, 2011

by Walt Heyer

I'm a male-to-female transgender who lived and worked as Laura Jensen for years. I'm opposed to the Massachusetts Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes Bill H502.

Changing genders is zany, exciting and fun at first, but many of us have discovered right away or years after changing genders that our lives turn to disappointment, sorrow and regret. The evidence of this extreme regret can be found in the staggering suicide rate for transgenders, reported to be 30 to 40%.

I am back to living as a male and I am happily married to a woman. But anatomically I'm not a male; I can't be. My birth record was changed and says female. My passport says male. This surgery is absolutely destructive. In fact, it is categorically impossible to change someone's gender.

There are a lot of males without male genitalia who are struggling terribly with this. And at least fifty percent of these surgeries are failures in some way. Your body is mutilated. It's not a good thing. It's a horrible thing.

Why are legislators more interested in passing more protective sex laws when the real need of transgenders is more help in prevention of suicide?

When they have such a high suicide rate, they're not getting the psychological treatment they need. And activist groups are trying to remove psychological evaluations for transgenders.

The advocates that are pushing for transgenders in schools to be able to have an extra bathroom or identify as any gender they wish -- they're pushing all the laws that are in my view what is actually killing transgenders.

People who want to change their genders have deep psychological issues. There's nothing normal about wanting to become a different gender. There's something desperately wrong with them and they need psychological help, and yet the advocates are trying to remove any required psychological treatment.

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 and www.sexchangeregret.com you will find a lot more information.

A man struggling with his gender and sexuality goes to a psychiatrist.

Man: I’m a dude and I like other dudes. Can I get therapy to switch these feelings?

Shrink: No Way! This is outrageous! You must learn to be proud of your feelings! They are healthy, wholesome, normal, and natural!!! Furthermore, this can NEVER work!!!!

Man: Can you cut off my weiner, insert a vagina, and give me chemicals so that I grow breasts and lose my whiskers?

Shrink: Why yes! This is no problem at all! We encourage this creative surgical and chemical procedure!!!

If there is such a thing as a “crime against nature”, this surgery ought to qualify. Shame on those who perform it.

Well, good for Walt. Common sense says having your genitalia removed and formed into a....vagina, is beyond stupid.....and would also indicate you have serious mental issues. Regardless of what the MSM reports....

Ya think? What a week this has been. We started out learning that the sun can affect temperatures here on earth and now relatively late in the week we learn that cutting one’s weiner off is destructive. Has there ever been a week more full of revelations?

My husband knows two transgendered guys, er women. He knew them both for years as men. One he knew since Vietnam.

Both these men were extremely unhappy as guys. That goes without saying, but they are even more unhappy as women. The one remark that they both have made is that they didn’t know it was so hard being a woman and how much work it takes to make yourself attractive all the time.

Both men regret the operation, but what’s done is done. They are even more unhappy now than they were before the operation.

Castration is half-way to suicide.

It’s pretty crazy when you have to tell men that cutting off their penis is a bad idea.
