E209: I Transitioned 40 Years Ago - Now I Regret Everything w/Walt Heyer | Lila Rose Show

It started with a purple dress and words of affirmation from his grandmother. What followed was a spiral of confusion, rejection, and pain that nearly destroyed Walt Heyer’s life. Transgender surgery. A suicide attempt. And then—something no one saw coming. Walt’s story is heartbreaking, raw, and ultimately redemptive. It will shake you—and remind you that no one is beyond the reach of God’s healing love.Check out/help support Walt's documentary: https://themoviewhoami.com/NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!
