COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 14, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Ohio government authorities forced parents to give up legal custody of their daughter after the mother and father said they opposed the girl’s decision to identify as a ‘boy’ and transition to being 'male.'
The Hamilton County Job and Family Services took legal custody of the teenage girl, 17, who, according to court records, suffers from gender dysphoria. The teen is currently living with her maternal grandparents. The girl’s name and the names of her parents are under court seal.
The minor was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and gender dysphoria after being hospitalized in 2016. Doctors decided that because she wants to identify as a male, she should be given testosterone and sex “change” drugs.
But the girl’s parents objected, arguing that they did not think that such "treatment" was in their daughter’s best interest.
A juvenile court judge will determine if parental rights for the minor should be entirely stripped.
At stake are parental rights and who will make medical decisions as the legal guardian for the youngster. A decision is expected by Friday.
Pro-transgender doctors pressured the court in closing arguments, saying a ruling must come quickly, claiming that the girl needed opposite-sex hormones or else she may kill herself. Medical witnesses said that the parents’ rejection of their daughter’s decision to identify as a male has made her suicidal. They termed the girl’s circumstances a life-or-death situation.

Absolutely sick.
Sue the crap out of them. When she’s 18 she can leave the house and fuel her mental illness.
She is not a “ youngster”
The chances of her surviving to live a happy life are very slim thanks to govt intrusion
The Perverts and Transidiots are running amuck and need to be roped in.
The article does not match the headline.
I did not see the court change custody of the girl.
Did I miss it?
Is this satire? Is it in America? Ohio? Uh...we’re doomed..
Disheartening story.
God created humans male and female. She needs to accept what she is.
While the parents are correct, transitioning is a poor to mediocre solution to gender dysphoria and it won’t make the kid’s problems go away, the fact that they had only one year left with this child makes me think they should have just gone along. They didn’t stop the process anyway. Don’t people play chess any more with their decisions? They could have had more time to lovingly influence thier child. Now they’ve made her feel rejected and pushed her into the pop culture opinions re trans.

McFarlene = MacFarlane
This tranny epidemic is totally out of control.
Government proving that they see citizens as their property! Are not people who are property called some socially unacceptable name and is not that illegal in the USA?
Oh, no, no, no....
they didn't MAKE her feel rejected.
She CHOSE to interpret their concern for her as rejection and CHOSE to go the current pop culture trans thing.
You are semantically right. I meant from her perspective (ignore my pronouns as I don’t know which gender this child was or whatever and it doesn’t matter). If you played chess with this decision the parents made, they may not have chosen the best for the child. Staying close might have helped the child more in the long run.
And I say that having seen a family (lefty wealthy family) transition their 16 year old girl to a boy and now (some years later) back again. Ugh.
Right on!
