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.

All the government agents involved in this should spend the rest of their lives in 8 x 10 supermax cells.

Why is it almost always these BS crazy moms pushing this stuff? They’re supposed to be the nurturers.

Women are more likely to get fooled by fashionable nonsense. The most charitable scenario is that she misguidedly believes she is picking the least bad option here. Another possibility is that she is nuts.

This is the point where he should take his son, and flee to Russia for safety

This is beneath human dignity, murder plain and simple. Hope that the Mother and Shrink go straight to hell for this.

Parents of. Children with gender dysphoria are told that their children will commit suicide if they deny the sex change medical treatments.

The culture also has shifted so now it is cool to be gay or trans nowadays. Somewhere along the way, we went from some sort of simple toleration of all this LGBT business, to actually celebrating and pushing for people to identify as such.

Every adult involved in the enterprise of child castration should be subject to the death penalty. Doctors, “health care” workers, teachers, bureaucrats, politicians, executives of major corporations, in some case even parents.

Am I reading this right? The child is 8 years old but the father has been in a legal battle over this issue for 7 years?!!!! That means that the mother decided that the child was "trans" at 1 years old?!!!!!

She is beyond insane.

8 years old? The most weighty decision that an eight should be able to make is whether his ice cream should have sprinkles or not.

It’s usually the “mother.”

My dad was a fervent believer that body manipulation (tattoos, piercings) of a child should be considered abuse.
