What's coming up on the Deeper Waters Podcast? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
Target. Say the word and immediately the thoughts of boycotts comes into your mind. Why? Because of a bathroom policy. Women who identify as men are allowed to use the men's room and vice-versa. This has led to many protests by others. There is a fear about predators taking advantage of the law, but something that is not discussed often is the people themselves who are claiming to be transgender.
This is a concept that strikes most of us as something that doesn't make sense. We are living in an age where you cannot tell a woman that she must be a woman. If she identifies as a man, well that's okay. Many of us are stunned that this is even being seen as a debate today, but lo and behold it is. What are we to do about this?
Why not have someone on who knows about the transgender viewpoint? In fact, we could say he knows about it so much because he was a transgender and then with the surgical reassignment became a transsexual.. That's why this Saturday I am going to be interviewing Walt Heyer.

Walt Heyer is an author and public speaker with a passion to help others who regret gender change. Through his website, SexChangeRegret.com, and his blog, WaltHeyer.com and in his autobiography, Paper Genders and Gender, Lies and Suicide.
So we are going to be talking about what so many of us really have a hard time wrapping our heads around. Are we really going against the scientific establishment? What is the cause of suicide in the cases of transgender people? Is the condition really a mental illness or is it something bona fide and the only way to help these people is to have them alter their bodies to become a person of the opposite sex?
What was it about Walt's experience that brought him to this realization? What was it like to "become a woman" and then go back to being a man? What does he think should be the best approach to helping people who are struggling with thinking that they are the wrong sex. If his case is a negative one, is that just an isolated incident while most cases seem to work out for the good of those involved?
This is a big issue that is going on and I do believe that there is more at stake than just using a bathroom. We are calling the very identity of male and female into question. Perhaps I am mistaken in my approach and Walt can show that or perhaps there is in fact more than just the surface level debate that is going on.
I hope you'll be listening next Saturday either way as Walt Heyer joins me!
In Christ,
Nick Peters
