Walt Heyer and Kathy Grace Duncan share their transgender journeys - Walt lived as a woman for 8 years, Kathy Grace lived as a man for 11 years.
Walt describes how his sexual identity confusion began very early due to a grandmother who made him a purple evening dress plus sexual abuse from a family member. Walt began identifying as a woman as a way to be safe and affirmed.
Kathy Grace observed how her father abused her mother, and decided she’d rather be a man; worthy and strong, rather than weak like her mother. She started living a double-identity life before Kindergarten.
Walt and KathyGrace describe how God began to intervene in their lives, and how pastors and churches offered them help to transition back to their biological sex. Both Walt and KathyGrace share powerful transformational stories about how God healed them. They also discuss how normalizing and affirming people who experience gender confusion ignores the underlying wounds and disorders they are experiencing.

Why would anyone send their young child to a place to be exposed to this?! We are parents... We are to protect our young ones, and as they grow, use experiences in the world to teach them, but I would never take my child to a bar to explain to them alcoholism, nor would I send them to a pagan institution to learn about evolution and transgenderism. Talking to our children even an hour a day about it cannot combat the 8 hours of influence a day they have with our children. I agree with them... This is not a topic for young innocent minds, nor would I want to expose my child to it. As they grow and I have trained them in the Lord, I will teach and they will already know it is evil.

We had a client who started investigating the life of transgenders , getting on social Media- meeting people who felt different, like him . He had been rejected by his mother , his and his father’s maleness criticized on a constant basis - where the girl’s were more accepted - though mom was probably abusive to them in different ways. He began to try on women’s clothing, experimenting with makeup , searched for female hormones ... Eventually he was counseled concerning this belief that women were better than men- that if he was a woman maybe his mother would have treated him differently , and maybe if he becomes one , she will finally accept and love him. Long story short- he was very hurt , felt like no one would ever really love him, desire his company, and accept him for who he is . Today he is married and looking forward to having a child. He is fully male and married to a woman.

I was mistaken for a boy as a child because my hair was thin and short. It bothered me, but I knew who I was. Of course, as I got older, I could grow my hair long, problem solved.

We have an 11 yr old that is transitioning from a boy to a girl. Hearing the perspective of the affirmation of “what’s wrong with Walt” I see where I have failed. Going along with the acceptance of the beautiful pink dress for Christmas was unintentionally saying this is so perfect. And what he heard was you’re not perfect as a boy-this dress makes you the perfect girl. And I know it wasn’t one person and one incident. But as a family we’ve all done the wrong thing for what we believed to be the right reasons. Thank you for having these amazing guests. Your opinions are powerful. Such strength and courage. ♥️

I once sat on an airplane for 4 hours next to a transgender individual and this person confessed to me that his father sexually abused him for 15 years and he felt it caused him to be the way he was. After our literally 4 hour conversation "he" made a decision to behave and accept that he would behave as a female. Which is how "he" was born. I was so taken back I almost couldn't believe it! It was actually a wonderful experience- a real learning experience for me. This was a biological female. I think that I influenced the decision.

Thank you so much, all of you, for being so open and willing to share and talk about. As a 76-year-old Christian, I have rejected homosexual and related situations as just being immoral, but until; today I never understood the pain and brokenness that can lead up to such a strong desire to change genders. This gives me a lot of understanding and compassion for the many people who have lived through these terrible experiences. When my nephew was just three or four years old, his parents took him to a psychiatrist because he apparently exhibited behavior that was very girlish. H eventually became a very feminine personality and behavior and is now part of the homosexual community in Mexico City. I have no idea why this happened to him, but your presentation has given me a better understanding. Thhankyou from the bottom of my heart.

I am watching this in 2023 and boy this was so touching. These 2 part series realy gave me a different perspective on what these people went through. Even the comments are so heart breaking and boils down to 1 thing that everyone of us want to be accepted and loved and Satan comes and steal from us and plant these ideas in us that we have to do all these weird things to be accepted. Thank you so much for this open and honest interview. I pray that people's hearts will be touched in such a way so they can feel God's Love for them in the mids of all their pain.

In the beginning of this video it is was stated that "This video is not for young viewers"... With all due respect and concern, I say that this is the BIGGEST problem with the church right now. Young people are finding out about this topic from the world first and from the church second after they have already formed an opinion or even a lifestyle based on what the world taught them. We don't need to wait to talk to youth about this. In fact, they, more than anyone, need to hear this and they need to hear it FIRST from people like the man and women in this video who were set free through God's Love. We have to wake up as the church and give children TRUE information on all topics NOW, because the world is and they are not waiting at all.

But it's his story and my opinion is that wearing the purple dress put him on his uncle's radar...made him a target. The uncle had issues for sure....but people who are sick, as the uncle was, do not victimize people with a secure reality. The purple dress was the target.

I think they put the advisory for parents to watch first, and decide if they feel it appropriate for their family. I will show it to mine, but If someone has not encountered that up close in their personal life then they may not be ready for those kind of discussions, especially with younger children. But I wish that I had seen this years ago before my girls were teenagers and realize the importance of this conversation with them. Because they're has been a lot of influence that I did not like in their lives. This is also why we have decided to pull them out and continue their education at home. Teachers who have overstepped their bounds to try to affirm ungodly things in my children. Something that years ago the parent would have gotten a call about. But now the conversation has flipped in a different direction and the teachers encourage children to keep secrets from their parents.
