Way back in 2019, the story of James Younger managed to catch the attention of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Abbott ordered an investigation into the situation surrounding Younger, whose mother was trying to transform the then-7-year-old into a girl named Luna via chemical castration. Ann Georgulas, a pediatrician and not the boy's biological mother, had been opposed by the boy’s father, Jeffrey Younger.
By 2020, the court had ordered Jeffrey Younger to pay $5,000 a month for trans-affirming counseling sessions. The judge also removed the father from having any say in his son’s medical, psychological, and psychiatric care.
In 2022, the University of North Texas’ Young Conservatives of Texas welcomed Younger to their campus to speak about his experience. Younger was shouted down, yelling "F**k you, fascist!" Texas Democratic State Rep. Gene Wu tweeted that the Younger deserved to be harassed: "Texas students stepping up and shouting down an anti-trans Republican candidate. Leave trans kids alone!" he tweeted.
Fast forward to 2024, and a New York father has lost a legal battle to keep his 8-year-old son from being given puberty blockers.
New York father loses legal battle to stop his son, 8, from taking puberty blockers to change gender

NY court ruled a father can’t stop his eight-year-old son from taking puberty blockers to begin his transition to a girl.

The father claims the boy’s mother pushed their son into transitioning and began dressing his son in girl’s clothes when he was 3.
He found out his son was… pic.twitter.com/UxxwNXO9lm
"He found out his son was “trans” when he received a letter from the Kindergarten referring to him as “Ruby” and using she/her pronouns."
From the kindergarten. The Daily Mail reports:
New York family court officials have denied a father the legal right to stop his eight-year-old son taking life-changing hormones that would begin his medical transition to a girl.
Dennis Hannon, 32, a senior software engineer from Buffalo, has been locked in a 'nightmare' legal battle with Erie Supreme Court spanning seven years, fighting to retain his fundamental parental rights.
He claims that the boy's mother 'pushed' their child's transition, and says the boy himself was not distressed about living as a boy.
What's more, a year after the court's ruling, the young child, Matthew*, reverted back to his original male gender and is now 'a regular little boy.'
However, the father has lost any say in medical decisions about his son and sees him for just a few hours every week.
He cannot afford to appeal to regain full custody.
Where are the fathers in all of these situations, you ask? They're in court, being denied custody of their own children for not "affirming" their gender.
This is just inhumane to do to a child. Poor baby doesn’t have a chance.

We are normalizing child abuse and coddling unfit parents.

Imagine hating your ex-husband so strongly that you decide to destroy your son.
— Lee Bailiff (@ProfBailiff) February 2, 2024
Where was he getting girls' clothes at 3 years old and putting them on? Older sisters? Or did Mom pick them out?
Have you ever heard of a father doing this to a child? No. It’s always the mother.
— Marc Rudov (@MarcRudov) February 2, 2024
In a just country this father would be able to sue New York State, the mother and the teacher for child abųse.
— Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 (@Bubblebathgirl) February 2, 2024
Children who haven’t gone through puberty have no idea what they’re into.
Blocking puberty only damages their natural process of discovery.
It’s blatant child abųse.
Imagine being such a wildly selfish narcissist that you’d permanently destroy your child’s life just to be the “cool, progressive mom.” This boy is only 8!! It’s a level of cruelty and evil that is inconceivable.

Outrageous. The mother needs to be institutionalized.

Our justice system has abdicated it's role of protecting the children of this country.

History will not look kindly on us for allowing such atrocities.
Transhausen by Proxy

Why do women w/ Cluster B Personality Disorders comprise a statistically significant margin of the type of parent with a "trans identifying" child?
Predominantly boys who believe they are girls at a very young age? pic.twitter.com/x3u8SIq3lL
That mother will answer for her abuse when this boy grows up and forms options of his own. My heart breaks for this child and the father fighting for his son.
— Lance (@oldcollegeyouth) February 2, 2024
If I was that dad, my son and I would disappear…and I wouldn’t even be a little bit sorry.

May history judge every adult who facilitates or encourages minors to transition, in the harshest light possible.
— V (@SgrA17h45m40s) February 2, 2024
We've seen one case where the father was cool with his child's transition, but the majority of the time, it seems like Mom is calling all the shots. What does a 3-year-old do to demonstrate that she's a girl born into the wrong body?
