"A Texas man says his 7-year-old isn’t transgender. Now his custody fight has reached the governor’s office."
WaPo reports on a story that has been getting attention in conservative media, notably in this tweet from Ted Cruz yesterday:This is horrifying & tragic. For a parent to subject such a young child to life-altering hormone blockers to medically transition their sex is nothing less than child abuse.https://t.co/sl8VcBgfTD via @nypost— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) October 24, 2019
From the WaPo article:
It’s a question that has divided the Coppell, Tex., parents — on how Luna, who was named James at birth, should be dressed to school and wear their hair. On whether the child should receive gender-affirming care, which could eventually lead to medical treatment to delay puberty. On which parent should get to live with the twins, and who should have a say in decisions over their health.The parents fighting each other over this is an additional challenge for the child. What a terrible misfortune!
At least one of those conflicts was resolved on Tuesday, as a jury in Dallas effectively granted [the mother Anne] Georgulas sole custody of Luna....
But as [the father Jeffrey] Younger turned the parents’ fight into one over irreversible medical procedures, experts on health care for transgender children told The Washington Post that Georgulas’ approach to the child would not involve any kind of surgery or hormones for years.
“Many people wrongly assume that prepubescent transgender or gender-diverse children will receive medical interventions,” Katherine Kuvalanka, a social work professor at Miami University in Ohio, said in an email to The Post. “The only interventions for young children is affirmation and acceptance for who they are.”
In its 11-1 ruling, a jury all but gave Georgulas the right to sign off on any medical and psychological decisions. If a judge uphold that ruling on Thursday, the verdict would end a bitter, two-year saga between the parents, who had their brief marriage annulled over their child’s gender identity, a case that wades deep into thorny, polarized and little-known questions about the impact of medical transitions on young children.
It all began, Younger says on his blog, on the twins’ third birthday, when Luna expressed a desire to be a girl....
Georgulas took Luna to see a therapist, who diagnosed the child with gender dysphoria — a mismatch between the gender assigned at birth and the one they identified with. From there, the therapist laid out steps on how to make the child feel affirmed, like letting Luna paint their nails and putting them in a dress, as the mother did when the twins turned 5....
“James presents as a boy with me and he presents as a girl with his mom,” Younger said to the website last month. “He gets dressed as a boy at his mother’s home and he comes out to me as a boy. That means that he’s comfortable as a boy at his mother’s home.”
Younger charged that Georgulas had been pressuring Luna to want to use female pronouns. He cut the child’s hair, put the child in boys’ clothes and continued call them James....
