Jury Rules Against Texas Dad Fighting 7-Year-Old Son’s Gender Transition

On Monday, a jury ruled against a Texas father, Jeffrey Younger, attempting to stop his seven-year-old son from a gender transition being facilitated by Dr. Anne Georgulas, the boy’s mother and Younger’s ex-wife.


“With a consensus of 11 of the 12 jurors, the jury decided not to grant Mr. Younger Sole Managing Conservatorship over his two twin boys,” LifeSiteNews reported Monday. “They voted that the current Joint Managing Conservatorship should be replaced by a Sole Managing Conservatorship, but that Mr. Younger should not be that person.”

According to the LifeSiteNews, Georgulas has been granted authority to move forward with puberty blockers, which can cause chemical castration, and, potentially, hormones, if she so chooses.

According to reporting from The Texan, Georgulas’ lawyers Jessica Janicek and Laura Hayes said the mother does not plan on giving James hormone blockers at this time. However, “no one has stated that she (Georgulas) would not be open to using them when James begins puberty,” which would be around age 11 and a half for a boy, the report said.


Additionally, with the jury’s decision, Mr. Younger will likely be forced to “affirm” his son’s new gender identity: a girl named “Luna.”

​”I want you to imagine having electronic communication with your son on FaceTime, and imagine that your ex-wife has dressed him as a drag queen to talk to you,” Younger told host Luke Macias during an episode of “The Luke Macias Show” podcast in January. “He has false eyelashes and makeup. His hair has got glitter in it. He’s wearing a dress.”


“Now imagine how you would feel seeing what I believe is actual sexual abuse — I believe this is not just emotional abuse but is the very, most fundamental form of sexual abuse, tampering with the sexual identity of a vulnerable boy,” the father continued.

As reported by The Daily Wire in November, court documents show that Younger’s son only dresses as a girl when he’s with his mother, who calls the boy by his trans name and has even enrolled James as “Luna” in school. According to Younger, however, James consistently chooses to wear boy’s clothes, “violently refuses to wear girl’s clothes at my home,” and identifies as a boy whenever he is around him.

James’ mother has accused Younger of child abuse in their divorce proceedings “for not affirming James as transgender” and is looking to strip the dad of his parental rights, reported The Federalist. Georgulas is also seeking to force Younger to foot the bill for James’ visits to a transgender-affirming therapist and transgender medical alterations, which may include “chemical castration” two years from now, when the child is just eight.

The boy, according to Younger, has already been fully “socially transitioned.”

“[James] wears a dress at her (his ex-wife’s) home; he has a new made-up name, Luna – it appears in the court filings. He goes to school; the teachers call him ‘Luna.’ He uses the girl’s bathroom at school. All of his authority figures – his mother, his teacher, the librarian at school, the police officer at school, the principal at school – tell him he’s a girl. I’m the only authority figure in his life that tells him the truth; that he’s actually a boy,” Younger noted during the podcast.

The father noted that, in his opinion, he witnessed that his wife “was only giving [James] love and affection when he was acting like a girl.” She used to lock James in his room and tell him monsters only eat boys, Younger added.

“Every. Single. Day. You have to see your son sexually abused, and you have to maintain your calm,” the Texas father continued, “because the courts are not going to be fair to you. And the only way you can survive this and get your son through this alive is to calmly allow your son to be tortured right before your eyes and outlast the opposition. That’s what it’s like.”

“They’re asking me to affirm a delusion,” he said.

Texas Gov. Abbott Says the State Is Now 'Looking Into' 7-Year-Old James Younger Being 'Transitioned' To Female By His Mom

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced Wednesday that both the state attorney general and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services are "looking into" the case of 7-year-old James Younger, a Texas boy who is "transitioning" into a girl at the behest of his mother and against the wishes of his father.

"The matter of 7 year old James Younger is being looked into by the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services," Abbott said in a tweet Wednesday evening.

The case has caught national attention in recent months, ultimately sparking the #SaveJamesYounger campaign on social media after a jury in Texas on Monday denied full custody to James' father and effectively gave his mother the go-ahead to begin the boy on puberty blockers and hormone therapy to start his medical "transition" to a female, if she so chooses.

In an 11-to-1 vote, the jury denied Younger Sole Managing Conservatorship over James and his twin brother, Jude, a position he said he was trying to win to keep his ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, from chemically castrating the boy in order to turn him into a female.



Younger said in an interview earlier this year that his ex-wife dresses the boy as a “drag queen” whenever he video chats with his son, saying, “He has false eyelashes and makeup. His hair has got glitter in it. He’s wearing a dress.” Younger has claimed James never expressed a desire to be a girl until his mother began bullying him into acting like one, saying she would lock him in his room and tell him monsters only eat little boys and would only show the child affection if he was acting like a female.

In a disturbing video released by the boy's father, a clearly confused James, then only three years old, can be seen telling his father that his mother has encouraged him toward being a girl.

Judge Rules Dad Has Say In Gender ‘Transition’ Of 7-Year-Old James Younger, Puts Gag Order On Dad

Image

On Thursday, Judge Kim Cooks ruled Texas father Jeffrey Younger has a say in his seven-year-old son’s gender “transition,” which is being facilitated by the boy’s mother and Younger’s ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas. Younger is attempting to halt the boy’s transition.


Cooks, of the 255th district, ruled that “the parents will have joint conservatorship over James, which includes making joint medical decisions for the child,” LifeSiteNews’ Madeleine Jacob reported Thursday afternoon.

Cooks also placed a gag order on Younger, according to Jacob, “so that he cannot speak to the press about the case and decided that the father is not required to pay attorney fees.”

Younger’s “Save James” website, which has circulated videos of James, testimonials, and vital court documents, will have to be shut down pursuant to the order.


Before the judge handed down her verdict, she kicked out media sources including The Texan, Daily Mail, and LifeSiteNews, as well as all family and friends. ABC, CBS 11, and NBC were reportedly allowed access.

Reporting from The Texan says Georgulas’ lawyers Jessica Janicek and Laura Hayes claimed during the trial that the mother does not plan on giving James hormone blockers at this time. However, “no one has stated that she (Georgulas) would not be open to using them when James begins puberty,” the report said, noting, “When Georgulas testified on Friday, she said that she understood a ‘social transition’ is usually followed by a ‘medical transition’ using puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.”

In addition, Ms. Georgulas’ July 2018 testimony reveals that James, if he “persists” in being a “girl” named “Luna,” is set to be evaluated for hormone suppressants as young as age eight.

Younger disagrees with Ms. Georgulas that James is actually a girl named “Luna.” He has claimed Georgulas, in his opinion, would only show James love and affection when he would say he’s a girl and began showing James trans-related material, such as media from famed transgender child Jazz Jennings, when he was a toddler. In a video captured by Younger when the boy was just three years old, James tells his dad that “mommy” tells him he’s a girl and puts him in dresses.

During a podcast in January, Mr. Younger said his son has already been fully socially “transitioned” and noted that he’s not allowed to use masculine pronouns or use the boy’s name “James” to third-parties who know the boy as “Luna.”

“[James] wears a dress at her (his ex-wife’s) home; he has a new made-up name, Luna — it appears in the court filings. He goes to school; the teachers call him ‘Luna.’ He uses the girl’s bathroom at school. All of his authority figures — his mother, his teacher, the librarian at school, the police officer at school, the principal at school — tell him he’s a girl. I’m the only authority figure in his life that tells him the truth; that he’s actually a boy,” Younger told host Luke Macias during an episode of “The Luke Macias Show.”

According to Jacob, prior to the case, “Dr. Georgulas had exclusive rights to make decisions regarding psychological and psychiatric care for James and [his twin brother] Jude. She needed to inform Mr. Younger of her decisions, but he couldn’t weigh in on or change the decisions. GENECIS (a gender clinic) wouldn’t begin James on puberty blockers without Mr. Younger’s consent.”

Folks concerned over the wellbeing of the 7-year-old child began sporting the hashtag #ProtectJamesYounger and triggered a reaction from the state’s governor and other political figures in Texas, including Senator Tex Cruz (R-TX).

“This is horrifying & tragic. For a parent to subject such a young child to life-altering hormone blockers to medically transition their sex is nothing less than child abuse,” posted Sen. Cruz. “A 7-year-old child doesn’t have the maturity to make profound decisions like this. The state of Texas should protect this child’s right to choose — as an informed, mature person — and not be used as a pawn in a left-wing political agenda. #ProtectJamesYounger.”

This is unfortunate, because as these people eventually
grow into adults....once in that state....are hard to
isolate and identify. What are the essential characteristics,
when all outwardly appearances are that of attractive females?
I can say without reservation that many of them are
indistinguishable from natural women from a distance.

If you are a male and find these remarks inappropriate,
I will not take issue with your "macho," or anything else
of questionable value. I have lived long enough to have
earned the right to say out loud what I have seen with my
own two eyes.

However, unless excellent surgery under the knife by
a medical doctor with that kind of knowledge, the male
characteristics begin to appear within a distance of
I would guess around two or three meters. The quote,
"That sweet thing need a shave..." was not an unfounded
attempt at humor. For example...we have...

65612

exhibit "B"
65613.jpg (49.7 KiB) Viewed 7608 times
and 65613...

They look passable to me. That comment is not of context
when the physical appearance is given without prior knowledge
that these two were once males. Would I prefer that this sort
of thing not go on? Of course I would. There are enough real
and deadly challenges in life that have to be dealt with, without
the need of man-made artificial challenges.

Dr. Michael Laidlaw wrote....

Many painful stories from the transgender movement have recently come to light. Ex-transgender individuals have admitted they regret pursuing a sex change and are cautioning other patients against taking hormonal drugs. Now even doctors have started to confess the dangers of transgender drug treatments. It’s becoming obvious that sex changing drugs are dangerous on multiple fronts. Ex-transgender individuals have publicly stated the ill effects of these drugs, but doctors have been reluctant to admit the truth.

That is until now.

Experimental hormonal drugs are untested, but doctors recklessly prescribe them for many children and young adults who want to identify as transgender. Recent studies show, however, that these drugs are actually causing a dangerous disease. This disease, called hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, is a result of so-called “puberty blockers.” These drugs block signals from the brain to the gonads, preventing the natural process of hormonal development in a young person’s body. “I call it a development blocker,” said Dr. Michael Laidlaw, an independent physician who has been studying the effects of transgender drug treatments. “We’re talking about what in nature is a rare condition,” he continued grimly. “It’s an area that needs to be explored further. In this case, it’s being induced by the medication.”

Dr. Laidlaw’s findings are horrifying. Those who contract hypogonadotropic hypogonadism from hormonal treatments face “increased risk for cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular death, deep vein thrombosis,” and more. “They’re going to end up with lower bone density, perhaps stunted brain development,” Dr Laidlaw said, reflecting on the drugs’ impact on especially young patients. “A lot of the brain impact is unknown. There seems to be some brain development that is sex hormone-dependent.” Some patients may even become infertile, unable to reverse the process and bear children – even if they begin to regret their transgender lifestyle.

The younger the patient, the more detrimental the effects of the drugs.

But transgender activists and progressive doctors continue to push these hormonal drug treatments on children as young as eight years old. What’s more, activists and doctors aren’t fully sharing the risks and potential harms of these drugs with their young patients. In Dr. Laidlaw’s opinion—which is simply common sense—this is child abuse. “When a person cannot consent to being harmed in a medical study or a medical setting—when they cannot be aware of the harms—it is an ethical problem,” said Dr. Laidlaw. “If you have children, they can’t consent because they may not have the intellectual capacity or emotional maturity to understand the consequences of what’s going to happen to them,” he continued. He argued that doctors abuse their power over young patients who can’t fully understand the hormonal treatment process and its effects. The use of these drugs creates an ethical dilemma for everyone involved.

“Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones—they’re going to be infertile. What 11-year-old is ready to have a kid? How would they know what that means? If you want to fully inform a child, you really cannot. Even if you tell the parents, how can the parent decide it? You can’t really do it.” “There’s no real way for a kid to consent to this and the harms are very great,” said the doctor. “These are really radical experiments on human bodies such as never has done before in the history of humankind, being perpetrated on children and justified by our medical societies because these political groups have brought their ideology into medicine. “But there’s no science behind it,” he argued. “You just can’t justify it.” It’s completely unscientific—and unethical—to use these dangerous drugs to treat a condition (the desire to change genders) that is only conceived and felt by patients and can’t be proven physically.

“When someone has a confusion about their gender compared to their sex as the body,” said Dr. Laidlaw, “we have to look for underlying medical problems like anxiety, depression, [and] schizophrenia.” But instead, transgender activism groups such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health advocate for the exclusive use of sex-change drugs in situations of gender confusion. This activism, which has caused lifelong pain and suffering for confused children, is underhanded and unethical to the extreme. Dr. Laidlaw intends to publish a paper detailing his findings in order to expose the horrific increase in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

I good update to this thread.

Father Of 7-Year-Old Texas Boy Whose Mother Wanted To ‘Transition’ Him To A Girl Wins In Court

By Hank Berrien
DailyWire.com

On Thursday, a Texas court ruled in favor of Jeff Younger, the father of James Younger, the seven-year-old whose pediatrician mother was attempting to medically transition her son into a girl.


Dallas Judge Mary Brown upheld an October decision that gave both parents conservatorship over their child and denied the mother’s request that the case revert to the October 21 11-1 jury decision that gave her sole managing conservatorship. That decision was later overruled by Judge Kim Cooks, who ruled that conservatorship would be split evenly between both parents.

But then the mother, Dr. Anne Georgulas, and her attorneys argued that Cooks had acted improperly by posting an article about the case on her Facebook page, prompting Cooks to be summarily recused from the case.,

The Daily Mail noted, “In November it was revealed the youngster had decided to attend school this year as a boy. In a post from the Facebook page ‘Save James,’ pictures of James dressed in a button down shirt, slacks and tennis shoes were shared online. The caption read: ‘Going to school. This is what it looks like when JAMES gets to choose! *Affirm this! * Also, a photo taken yesterday, just before church. James and Jude proud to be men! Save James, save thousands of children!’”

Georgulas and Younger were in 2010 and underwent in vitro fertilization to have twins; they requested the babies to be male. Georgulas later brought James to see a gender therapist at the Children’s Hospital Center, where she claimed he had wanted a girls’ toy from McDonald’s and then started imitating the female characters from Disney’s Frozen and asking to wear dresses, as The Texan reported.


The Texan continued:

She said she contacted the GENecis clinic at Children’s Hospital Center, and they referred her to Rebekka Ouer for counseling. Ouer recommended a process of “affirmation” and thought that a “social transition” for James to begin going to school dressed as a girl named “Luna” would be in his best interest.


Jeff Younger said Georgulas had been pushing their son to transition after their divorce. He claimed that when his son was three years old, his mother locked him in his bedroom and told him, “monsters only eat boys.” He also said she had forced James to wear dresses.

Jeff Younger stated:

I want you to imagine having electronic communication with your son on FaceTime, and imagine that your ex-wife has dressed him as a drag queen to talk to you. He has false eyelashes and makeup. His hair has got glitter in it. He’s wearing a dress.

Now imagine how you would feel seeing what I believe is actual sexual abuse — I believe this is not just emotional abuse but is the very, most fundamental form of sexual abuse, tampering with the sexual identity of a vulnerable boy. Every. Single. Day. You have to see your son sexually abused, and you have to maintain your calm… because the courts are not going to be fair to you. And the only way you can survive this and get your son through this alive is to calmly allow your son to be tortured right before your eyes and outlast the opposition. That’s what it’s like.

In October, GOP Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated that the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services were looking into the case, which had drawn national attention. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) also weighed in, tweeting, “A 7-year-old child doesn’t have the maturity to make profound decisions like this. The state of Texas should protect this child’s right to choose—as an informed, mature person—and not be used as a pawn in a left-wing political agenda.”
