I have been told that since I have decided to not equip with ADS B out that I will not be able to use my transponder after Jan. 1, 2020. Is this true?

No.
The only thing it should affect is your ability to fly within certain airspace. According to 14CFR 91.225, you'll need ADS-B Out to fly:Originally Posted by planecaptain
1. In Class B airspace
2. Class C airspace
3. Within a Class B veil (e.g., within 30 miles of the center of Class B airspace.)
4. Above Class B or C airspace
5. At or above 10,000 feet MSL, unless you're within 2,500 feet of the ground.
No mention is made for NOT operating transponders if not ADS-B Out equipped.

You should absolutely continue to use your transponder since it will make you visible to appropriately equipped aircraft.
here is my .02 cents .....in the new "January 2020 issue of AOPA PILOT " starting on page #85 is a good article. On what ,when, were, why ADSB is needed..... ... . good day / rick /............................. quote of the day 'Liquidating Excess Funds Through Aviation"
If you like your transponder, you can keep your transponder.
Someday I'll come up with something profound to put here.
In fact, you MUST operate your transponder (if you have one) in controlled airspace.
The ADSB-required rules apply to what we used to know as the places you HAD to have a transponder/encoder before.

Well, very few aircraft are "appropriate equipped" to see a simple transponder. What it does is make your position and altitude known to ATC radar which then can relay it via the various traffic information services as well as making it available to controllers. Still, you want it on.
I see that there are enough replies to answer your question, so a related piece of advice Captain--- the person who told you that is so far off base that you might want to relegate your conversations with him/her to sports and "how are the kids doing in school" variety. Just saying......
