“A California judge has permanently stripped parental rights from Texas father Jeffrey Younger over his refusal to allow his 12-year-old son to be chemically and surgically castrated at the wish of the boy’s mom,” reports LifeSiteNews:
“I lost all parental rights to my sons. Goodbye, boys,” Younger wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Perhaps, we will meet when you are adults. California Judge [Mark] Juhas gave my ex-wife authority to castrate my son, James,” Younger wrote.
The ruling may be the end of a battle spanning back to at least 2018. Despite Younger and his twin sons living in Texas, the state supreme court allowed his wife to take the kids to California.
Younger and Anne Georgulas have been locked in a legal battle over the mother’s attempts to raise their boy James as a “girl” named “Luna,” including surgically and chemically transforming his body to more closely resemble this imposed “gender identity.” Younger has consistently stressed that his son’s gender confusion has been inflicted on him by Georgulas despite the boy’s own inclinations. Younger, who has incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees in his effort to protect his son, is raising money for legal, expert witness, and other expenses.
Younger’s ex-wife Anne Georgulas moved herself and James to radically pro-transgender California and, in January 2023, the Texas Supreme Court voted 8-1 to allow them to remain there despite Jeffrey’s objections, claiming not to see any reason the previous court order preventing her from unilaterally “transitioning” their son would not be followed – despite California having by that point enacted a law to make the denial of cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and “transition” surgeries a form of “child abuse and abandonment.”
At least 225 hospitals have provided irreversible transgender procedures to kids, and at least 6,000 kids have had transgender surgeries, according to insurance-claims data unearthed by the medical non-profit Do No Harm.
Transgender treatments have significant side effects. A recent study shows 95% of young biological women on testosterone developed pelvic floor dysfunction. The participants had bladder and bowel symptoms that medics would expect to see in a woman after the menopause.
As the London Telegraph reports, “Around 87 per cent of the participants had urinary symptoms such as incontinence, frequent toilet visits and bed-wetting, while 74 per cent had bowel issues including constipation or being unable to hold stools or wind in. Some 53 per cent suffered from sexual dysfunction.”
“The researchers said the rate of urinary incontinence, where urine unintentionally leaks, was around three times higher in transgender men than women, affecting around one in four compared to eight per cent of the general female population.”
“Almost half had an ‘orgasm disorder’, while a quarter suffered from pain during sexual intercourse.”
The youngest of the study’s participants was age 18, while the average participant’s age was 28.
Sex changes massively increase suicide risks, rather than reducing them, a study concluded. “Gender-affirming surgery is significantly associated with elevated suicide attempt risks,” according to a study in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science. Hot Air summed up this peer-reviewed study as finding that “suicide risks” are “1200% higher after gender-affirming surgery.”
Sex-change procedures come with serious side effects than can leave transgender people with lifelong pain and discomfort, as a transgender activist conceded in a New York Times op-ed, “My New Vagina Won’t Make Me Happy.” That”s because of the physical pain and discomfort that result from a sex change, and the artificial, subpar nature of the sex organ that doctors create in sex-change surgery. As Andrea Long Chu wrote in that op-ed:
Next Thursday, I will get a vagina. The procedure will last around six hours, and I will be in recovery for at least three months. Until the day I die, my body will regard the vagina as a wound; as a result, it will require regular, painful attention to maintain. This is what I want, but there is no guarantee it will make me happier. In fact, I don’t expect it to.
“Gender affirming” surgery is risky. “An 18-year-old boy died when doctors tried to create a vagina for him using part of his colon. His colon was used because puberty blockers stopped growth of his genitals, which meant there wasn’t enough tissue to do the penile inversion surgery,” notes Chris Elston. A “trans teen died from vaginoplasty complications during landmark Dutch study used to justify child sex changes,” reports The Post-Millennial. “Major complications began within just 24 hours of the surgery.”
Sex-change doctors have concealed the negative effects of such surgeries, as the Daily Caller recently noted:
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) apparently blocked Johns Hopkins University researchers from publishing their findings regarding a study concerning child sex changes because they didn’t like what they discovered, newly unearthed emails reveal.
WPATH paid for Johns Hopkins researchers to study the possible effects of so-called “gender-affirming care” on children, according to the emails. “Gender–affirming care” is a euphemism proponents use to describe the use of irreversible hormone suppression and treatments that can lead to chemical castration, as well as surgeries like mastectomy, phalloplasty and vaginoplasty….The study allegedly found “little to no evidence” regarding support for children and adolescents who undergo these harmful procedures, the emails appear to show. Instead of ending their push to give minors irreversible sex-change surgeries and hormone treatments, WPATH appeared to block the study from being publicly released and published their recent guidelines encouraging doctors to continue operating on confused children.
Society pays the bill for sex change surgeries, which sometimes cost over $200,000, because the Affordable Care Act often requires insurers to cover sex changes and gender-reassignment surgery. So surgeries for people like Chu increase the health insurance premiums all insured Americans pay.
Sex-change surgeries are frequently a bad investment, because they often have life-threatening complications. “The truth about transgender surgery” is that “Just 16% of gender dysphoria patients go through with the operation, but up to half suffer life-threatening complications,” reports the London Daily Mail. “Up to half of trans men and women suffer post-op issues or pain so severe they need medical attention or additional surgery months later….Patients are often left with infections, pain and difficulty using the toilet or having sex post-surgery….the Women’s College Hospital (WCH) in Ontario, Canada, earlier this year found that more than half of trans women who had ‘bottom’ surgery were in so much pain years later they needed medical attention.”
The FDA has warned that the puberty blockers given to transgender kids as part of their gender transition can cause brain swelling and permanent vision loss. Puberty blockers also prevent the increase in bone density that would normally occur during puberty, with some patients experiencing lifelong bone issues, according to the New York Times.
As health and science reporter Benjamin Ryan noted, medical authorities in “UK, Sweden, Finland, and now Norway as well,” have recommended against “prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to trans-identifying minors.” Yet, in America, gender clinics are giving teenagers double mastectomies and other sex-change operations in many states. The Biden administration has promoted puberty blockers, even though the FDA said puberty blockers can cause brain swelling and permanent vision loss.
