Yesterday, a Dallas judge took away Jeffrey Younger's say in his son James' medical, psychological, and psychiatric care, giving that power to James' mother, who wants to "transition" him into a "girl." After receiving national attention in October 2019, the bitter parental dispute had ultimately resulted in both parents getting a say in decisions regarding James and his twin, Jude; this ruling effectively reverses that.

James Younger's mother, Dr. Anne Georgulas, will now be able to enroll the eight-year-old in school as a "girl" named "Luna" and subject him to transgender medical procedures.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and many others commented on the case last year as the #SaveJamesYounger hashtag blew up on Twitter.

Yesterday's ruling effectively reverses Judge Kim Cooks' October order. After almost a week in court, in October Cooks had granted both parents, Mr. Younger and his ex-wife Dr. Georgulas, a say in medical, psychological, and psychiatric decisions for James and Jude. If the parents could not agree, a court-appointed parenting coordinator would be the tie-breaker. Now, Georgulas -- who supports subjecting James to a gender "transition" -- will be in charge of those decisions. Georgulas is not even James and Jude's biological mother; she and her now-ex-husband used an egg donor to conceive the boys via in-vitro fertilization.
