“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.

I noticed that the article refused to name the black-robe fascists who issued the order. Gee, I wonder why.

The Age of Orwell: government-mandated child abuse.

Some of us were called paranoid lunatics for predicting such decades ago (before the internet); I was one.

This poor boy is a victim undergoing serious psychological trauma inflicted on him by his “mother” and the state of Texas, and may next be severely physically abused with the known and unknown risks and dangers of ‘hormone therapy’.
