 Little James Younger is safe from state-backed chemical castration -- for now.
From LifeSite, " Judge rules dad will have say in gender ‘transition’ of 7-year-old":
The judge presiding over the case of Jeffrey Younger, the father who is trying to protect his seven-year-old son, James, from chemical castration via a gender “transition,” ruled today that the parents will have joint conservatorship over James, which includes making joint medical decisions for the child.
Judge Kim Cooks of the 255th district also put a gag order on the father so that he cannot speak to the press about the case and decided that the father is not required to pay attorney fees. The judge’s decision means that the Save James website will have to be shut down.
Mr. Younger and his ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, were in court last week fighting over custody and decision-making abilities for James and his twin, Jude. Dr. Georgulas wants to continue to “transition” James “into” a girl called “Luna.” Mr. Younger wanted to take a “wait and see” approach rather than start the child on puberty blockers.
Eleven out of 12 jurors decided Monday that Mr. Younger should not be granted Sole Managing Conservatorship over his twin boys. Dr. Georgulas admitted in court she is not actually the twins’ biological mother and used in-vitro fertilization via an egg donor to gestate them.
The outlined custody agreement means Mr. Younger will rarely see James and Jude Younger, his twin boys. Mr. Albritton, the custody evaluator who visited and observed the children over many months, commented during the trial on the importance of Mr. Younger being involved in the boys’ lives. Even Dr. Georgulas testified that she thinks having Mr. Younger be a part of James’ and Jude’s lives is important.
On Monday, a jury ruled 11-1 that the current Joint Managing Conservatorship should be replaced by a Sole Managing Conservatorship – and that Mr. Younger should not be that person.
Judge Cooks’ ruling was originally scheduled for Wednesday afternoon but was delayed. When a seasoned civil court journalist from the Dallas Morning News asked the court clerk for the ruling schedule and provided her with the specific case number, she confirmed the day but refused to share the time of the ruling.
Since kindergarten, Dr. Georgulas has enrolled James in school as a girl under the name “Luna.” She began telling him he’s a girl when he was just three, and testified in court that she began to believe that when he liked a McDonald’s toy meant for girls. James’ pediatrician records also indicate Dr. Georgulas has met with GENECIS, a medical “transition” clinic in Dallas and is considering “hormone suppression” when James is closer to eight or nine years old.
Prior to this case, Dr. Georgulas had exclusive rights to make decisions regarding psychological and psychiatric care for James and Jude. She needed to inform Mr. Younger of her decisions, but he couldn’t weigh in on or change the decisions. GENECIS wouldn’t begin James on puberty blockers without Mr. Younger’s consent.
Dr. Georgulas and Mr. Younger’s messy custody dispute entailed, in part, the latter filing a counter-petition to the court requesting sole managing conservatorship in order to obtain the ability to make decisions on psychological and psychiatric care. This would have given him the ability to prevent James’ from starting puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
Mr. Odeneal told supporters that an appeal “takes about a year” and it would be very difficult to overturn a jury ruling. Mark my words: this case is not over.
Judge Kim Cooks no doubt saw the massive outrage generated over this case and backed down under pressure.
Silencing Mr. Younger to keep him from talking to the press and forcing him to shut down his extremely informative website loaded with disturbing court documents is outrageous as he's been an extremely effective spokesman.
LifeSite, the Christian site which has done more to bring this case to people's attention than any other, reported Thursday they were blocked from the court proceedings.
Republicans seem to have got the message this is a winning issue but they need to act to outlaw giving puberty blockers and opposite sex hormones to children so the "James" we don't hear about will have some modicum of protection and the parents who use their own hormones to drug their children can be criminally prosecuted and charged with child abuse.
As Don Jr. said Thursday morning, "People need to start to stand up against this bull***t."
"Enough is enough."
If neutered Republican politicians don't have the balls to stand up against chemically castrating little boys they need to get the hell out of the way and let social conservatives who do take their place.
