DALLAS, Texas, December 6, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The judge who ruled to grant joint conservatorship to the two parents fighting over the “gender” of their seven-year-old son was recused from the case today, at the orders of another judge.
Judge Tena Callahan, a retired district court judge, recused Judge Kim Cooks of the 255th Dallas District Court from the James Younger case. Judge Cooks will not hear the motion Dr. Anne Georgulas filed to uphold the jury’s original decision, which was in Georgulas’ favor.
Mr. Jeffery Young and Dr. Georgulas were in family court in October over whether one of their twin sons, James, should be subjected to a gender “transition.”
A jury ruled against Mr. Younger despite evidence indicating Dr. Georgulas was planning to seek a medical “transition” for James – against Mr. Younger’s wishes – in the next six months to a year.
Judge Cooks has presided over the Younger-Georgulas trial since 2017. In a prior ruling Judge Cooks granted Dr. Georgulas sole decision-making authority for psychiatric and psychological care for James and Jude, including invasive procedures.
On October 26, Judge Cooks surprised the nation by not upholding the jury’s ruling or her own previous ruling. She granted Younger and Georgulas joint managing conservatorship with equal decision-making authority for James and his twin, Jude.
On November 5, Dr. Georgulas requested that Judge Cooks be recused from the case because of a Facebook post the judge allegedly posted.
According to a Dallas Morning News (DMN) article, Judge Cooks reshared a DMN article about the case, adding her own statement that neither “[the] Governor nor any legislature had any influence on the Court’s Decision.”
While the comment is not visible on the judge’s public figure profile, it is possible that the seemingly neutral comment was made on her private Facebook page and could only be seen by people she had added as “friends.”
Dr. Georgulas also filed a motion on November 5 requesting that Judge Cooks’ ruling be overturned and the jury ruling upheld.
On October 21, the jury answered two questions: 1) Should the current Joint Managing Conservatorship be replaced by a Sole Managing Conservatorship of James and Jude Younger? 2) Should Jefferey Younger be appointed as the Sole Managing Conservator of James and Jude Younger?
The jury answered yes to number one and no to number two. The jury did not explicitly grant Dr. Georgulas Sole Managing Conservatorship. The motion filed by Dr. Georgulas’ lawyer argues that, “only one option exists...Anne Georgulas should be named the sole managing conservator.”
The previous agreement granted Dr. Georgulas sole authority over psychological and psychiatric care for James and Jude Younger. Mr. Younger’s attorney presented medical records indicating James was referred to the GENECIS clinic, a gender “transition” clinic, for a possible medical “transition” around eight or nine years old. If Dr. Georgulas had started to medically ‘transition’ James using puberty blockers, Mr. Younger would not have had a say in the decision.
Multiple expert witnesses testified to the long-term side effects of used puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on a healthy child. Both parents are under a gag order preventing them from speaking with media.

that poor kid just doesn’t stand a chance-
The judge that imposed the recusal appears to by an LGBT activist
https://ballotpedia.org/Tena_Callahan
On October 1, 2009, Judge Callahan ruled that a gay couple, who were married in Massachusetts, could file for divorce in Texas. Her ruling said that “the state prohibition of same-sex marriage violates the federal constitutional right to equal protection.”[6]
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott filed a notice to appeal the ruling and issued this statement: “The laws and constitution of the State of Texas define marriage as an institution involving one man and one woman. Today’s ruling purports to strike down that constitutional definition—despite the fact that it was recently adopted by 75 percent of Texas voters. The Office of the Attorney General will appeal the court’s ruling to defend the traditional definition of marriage that was approved by Texas voters.”[7] The notice to appeal was filed on October 1, 2009, and automatically stayed Callahan’s ruling.[8][9]
Governor Rick Perry said that the ruling “is flawed and should be appealed”.[10]
Callahan stated that she was just doing her duty, and doing what she was elected to do.
Twin???? James and Jude? Are they one in the same?
Just 10 years ago, the Dallas courts were Republican. Democrats would pretend to be Republican just to get elected. Then, a combination of Katrina arrivals and Republicans staying home for some reason I can’t even remember and I doubt there will ever again be a Republican judge in Dallas.
There have *got* to be some legit, honest longitudinal studies on all of this gender chaos.
What will these people, especially, God help them, the children, experience over five years? Ten? Twenty?
This is so new, we just don’t know the long term effects of pumping bodies full of hormones and sex change surgeries.
Even more concerning are the psychological issues. We just don’t know the long term consequences.

“Even more concerning are the psychological issues. We just don’t know the long term consequences.”
No studies are required. It leads to personal destruction, fast.
Yes, twins. James is the one that Mom calls “Luna” and dresses like a girl, gives girl toys, etc. But James says he’s a boy, dresses like a boy and plays with boy things at his Dad’s. Poor kid is just trying to make both his parents happy. It’s fairly easy to reinforce this sort of opposite-gender behavior in a young child. I think Mom wanted a boy and girl “set”, so she’s transitioning James to get her wish. Sick.
Doesn’t the ‘mom’ realize that she is preventing ‘Luna’ from athletic championship competition by blocking puberty so early? Why she could be sued later for such actions!
She should be dragged to the psycho ward and locked away until she stops this foolishness.
The so-called ‘Mom’ is not even the biological mother.
This is what we get when we have women judges.
Okay, flame away.
I would not criticize judges based on their sex.
But I would criticize judges based on being liberal. Do we see judges so beholden to the liberal line on any issue, that they will always rule in favor of the liberal side?
In this case, to the liberal, the fact that you are dealing with a prepubescent child is of no consequence to the judge. The judge wants this child to “transition” and this judge may also want to strike a blow for “transgender” rights and all that “LGBT” agenda business.
Judges should not be making decisions based on the emotional feelings which being liberal seems to arouse.
This is one of those cases where petitions made the difference. The father had a gag order against him, and the judge refused to listen to all his witnesses. The mother had extra weight in the case as the mother, as a pediatrician, and as a sexual activist. The fact that the jury only heard a dozen sexual activists say oh, yeah, the kid is transgender, he’ll die if you don’t convert, is why they ruled that way.
The Lifesite petition got the word out and led to public backlash. That is why the doctor said, OK, the father gets a say in this.

Problem is that the sexual activists intentionally took over the social sciences, so they can say the science is on their side. Hence the American Psychiatric Association deciding homosexuality and then transgenderism aren’t mental disorders. And that the only acceptable treatment is surgery for gender dysphoria, while counseling to rectify gender dysphoria or same sex attraction is considered a violation of medical ethics.

2 male fraternal twins. The mother decided one of them is really a girl when he wanted the Starfire toy instead of a boy toy. We know she’s in charge, because he wanted to be called Starfire and she said no, Luna.
That’s not it really though it didn’t help
It’s the Hispanic wave into Dallas
They vote democrat
