Summary
Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh sit down with Walt Heyer, who describes transitioning in adulthood and later returning to his male identity, and explains why he believes many cases labeled “gender dysphoria” are better understood through trauma, social contagion, and comorbid mental health factors—not “gender identity.” The conversation also covers concerns about youth transition, the role of schools/clinics, and what families can do if a child is struggling.
