Yes, the sodomites ARE coming for your children.

If this child continues to be affirmed in a destructive, sexually immoral lifestyle, he’ll likely contract HIV/AIDS and die before he’s 40.

Uh...No!

The "mental injury" was caused by whoever molested this kid, and/or corrupted his mind in the first place.

“Father “opposed” his decision and refused to call him by his preferred name. S. subsequently engaged in the self-harming behavior of “cutting.”

I strongly, very strongly suspect these so called support groups tell kids just what behavior to engage in if the parents do not affirm the belief they are transgender. You can almost predict “cutting” will be the self harm of choice.

Every single judgement like this is a led ingot on the scale God holds on America. And its’ weight is on the bad side.

So in trying to decipher the usual woke “trans” BS, it appears this is actually his daughter, not his “son.”

My current State continues to take a giant dump on the rest of the country.

*sigh*

This is one of those hard cases Jesus warned of, where being true to your faith will divide father from son. I have utmost sympathy for the father.

I do not agree with the mom deciding she needed to go along with the children’s belief about their sexuality. I would be angry with whomever put this idea in their heads. However, I can certainly see where the father’s text messages and emails could be seen as threatening. If the mom showed those to her children she was in the wrong.

The dad could have done a better job of expressing his reason for being against what was happening.

I’ve seen it 100 times

Dad is a dude. more manly, physical, supports traditional male roles and behavior.

Mom is a Karen, over-nurtuing and e increasingly expresses it through leftist conformity and woke slogans.

They have ugly divorce

Mom encourages kids to express their effeminate side, accept her victim/leftist/conformist thinking, encourages “transgender” and woke nonsense.

She also enjoys seeing the kids in conflict with Dad and encourages it.

Meanwhile kids identity, self-worth, confidence, self-discipline is completely destroyed.

Sounds entirely plausible to me.

To be clear I don’t think the father was abusive in any ways. But no doubt the mom and others coached the children to give the answers which would be most likely would lead the court to make that conclusion. The dad could have been more temperate and sought a more consistent relationship with his children. But him expressing strong opinion in opposition of LGBT is hardly mentally abusive.

If any parent was mentally abusive it is the mom. Who no doubt was delighted to encourage her children both to show how “woke” she is and to injure the father.

God isn’t dead, but the First Amendment sure is. How dare this father practice Christianity?? It’s an outrage.

Show me:

1 meter
1 second
1 mole
1 ampere
1 kelvin
1 candela
1 kilogram
1 liter
1 becquerel
1 volt
1 newton-meter
1 kilowatt
1 square meter
1 Mohs

Of these modern mental conditions, abuses, etc. and I will be your biggest supporter.

Can’t do it?

That’s because it’s all bullshit.

Right up there with phrenology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrenology

It’s more an art and pseudo-science, than medicine and actual science.

When courts allow this junk in, they are in reality discrediting themselves, chasing modern and unscientific fads where you cannot isolate the variables, define them, or measure them. So what is it? It’s the discussion of “feelings.”

If we’re talking broken bones, bruises, cuts and bleeding, that can be measured. But feelings?

The father should counter sue claiming that HE is being mentally tortured because the mom and daughter, or whatever the kid is, hate on his beliefs!

Father also reframes the court's conclusion after interviewing N. that he is "frightened," "worried," and "fearful with his [F]ather's anger..."

If he thinks his earthly father's anger is scary, wait until he hears from his heavenly Father.
