“Basically I can’t go to a school. I keep him away from any friends he might have at school that know him as a girl, and at my home he’s known as James and I use male pronouns. What I’m prohibited from doing right now is trying to convince him that he’s actually a boy,” he said.

The court’s ruling means that Jeff, who is a religious Orthodox Christian, has to be careful when discussing his faith with his son, he said. He is also cautious about teaching James how to behave decently, so that his words cannot be interpreted as imposing a male gender identity.

“I’m even a little trepidatious about reading the Book of Genesis as we go through our Bible readings after Pascha,” he said. “So, I’ve had a lot of trouble communicating with him on religious issues and on basic things that you’d have to teach boys, issues around self-control: how they should deal with women, older women, being respectful to females of their peer group.”

It’s very difficult for me to figure out how to do this without violating that order.

Jeff said James was misdiagnosed with gender dysphoria and simply wants the approval of both his parents.

“The court asked us to take them to social services and let the boys express their preferences,” Jeff said. “And what James said was: he wants to be a girl at his mom’s home and a boy at his dad’s home. He basically wants both his parents to love him.” Jeff Younger wrote an entire book about the case which he has shared on his website SaveJames.com.

Sounds like the ex-wife is a nut case. Too bad the father chose her to bear his child.

Just take him to church with you.

You are not a responsible parent with visitation rights if you leave your child alone with a baby sitter, right ?

And our wonderful unbiased court system automatically sides with the mother for whatever she decides is right for the children.

“Family” courts are total jokes. Unfortunately they are very, very bad jokes.

Concerned dads get zero support. They get court orders and threats of jail instead.

In Texas?

I thought judges are sane there, but apparently not.

Poor guy, poor kid.

For a while, my youngest thought she was an avocado.

She got over it.

What freaking DOCTOR would proceed with chemical castration of an 8 year old simply because his mommy brings him in and says to do it ? That should require a court order making the idiot judge that signs the order culpable when tranny despair and regret occurs later.

If this is happening in Texas, then we’re done as a free country.

Chemical castration at age 8? He is a CHILD, and should not be allowed to make such a life-changing decision at that age, especially since a lot of research shows that sexual dysphoria is very often a transitory phenomenon.

This is an outrage.

I would tell the judge I absolutely would not obey his order, and I would invite him to hold me in contempt of court. Nor would I pay any fine.

Of course, I would appeal the ruling, and would be all over the media about this.

This can't be real. This can't be America, let alone Texas.
