HOW ABOUT THIS ONE LIBERTARIANS!:
Dangerous precedent: Parents denied custody of their 17yo daughter for not supporting her transgender hormone treatment

On Friday, Ohio parents were denied custody of their daughter for not being supportive enough of her alleged transgenderism.

The 17-year-old biologically female child identifies as a boy and claims she has suicidal thoughts over her parents' lack of support for her transgenderism (they won't, for example, call her by her new chosen male name). The parents were fighting for custody of their daughter back from the state in an effort to stop potential transgender hormone treatment.
An attorney representing the parents, whose names have not been disclosed because of privacy concerns, argued that the girl was not "even close to being able to make such a life-altering decision at this time." Representatives of the girl argued that a "medical team" claimed that the treatment was a matter of life and death.
Hamilton County Judge Sylvia Sieve Hendon granted custody to the girl's maternal grandparents, who are open to transgender hormone therapy. The teenager has been living with them since 2016.
According to CNN, Hendon also granted the grandparents the option to petition to change the teen's name to her new male name in probate court. The girl is now covered by their insurance.
"The grandparents, rather than parents, will be the ones to help make medical decisions for the child going forward. But before any hormone treatment is allowed, the court ordered, the teen should be evaluated by a psychologist who is not affiliated with the current facility where he is receiving treatment, on 'the issue of consistency in the child's gender presentation, and feelings of non-conformity,'" notes CNN. The parents were granted visitation rights.
Karen Brinkman, the parents' attorney, argued that granting the grandparents custody was merely an act to circumvent "the necessity of parents' consent" and was not in the child's best interest.

Ohio Judge Strips Custody From Parents For Not Letting Daughter Take Trans Hormones
This is a major setback for advocates of parental rights and religious freedom.
By Nicole Russell
February 20, 2018

In a blow to advocates of parental authority, last week a visiting judge in a juvenile court in Hamilton County, Ohio stripped parents of custody of their teenage girl, who wants to identify as male, because they would not allow the 17-year-old to begin hormone replacement therapy.

The judge awarded custody to the teen’s grandparents who were, in the court’s eyes, more accepting of the teen’s wishes and who will now be allowed to make medical decisions for the teen. This case, which might be the first of its kind in juvenile court, should be disturbing to any advocate of parental rights and freedom of religious expression.

In 2016, the teen’s parents — the judge will not release the names of the family members — took her to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for psychiatric treatment for anxiety and depression, where she was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The teen wanted to continue with hormone replacement therapy, to help her appear male, but according to court testimony, her parents objected.

They encouraged her to see a “Christian counselor” instead, and refused to call their daughter by her chosen male name. Some of the court testimony on the side of the teen indicated that the parents had told the child she was “going to hell,” although the parents have disagreed with some of the statements given in court about their parenting and religious beliefs.

Based on their unwillingness to allow their child to go through with the treatments, which was based at least in part on their Christian beliefs, Judge Sylvia Hendon ruled to give the teen’s grandparents full custody, including the ability to make medical decisions and provide insurance (they’re accepting of her desire to identify as a male).

Transgender decisions should only be made by adults for themselves, not by taking children away from their parents. Children are easily confused. Teenagers who are older can discuss these options with parents as a teen. First and foremost we should learn to love who we already are.

sat there cringing, acutely aware of the undertow of misogyny beneath the camp.....“gay men are as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so.”

More so. Gay men have rejected women so completely that they will only insert their penis in the hole of a pelvis that has another penis attached to it. They are 1. In denial of that otherwise normal primal urge & (latent heterosexuals). 2. Completely misogynistic.

Especially when one is a femme/bottom type and the other a butch "top" (their words, not mine) A hole and a penis are involved and so are the two archetypes of masculine & feminine. You're catching on mdk. Good for you!

You boil woman down to more than nothing “a hole” but gay men are the real misogynists. Classic.

The nauseating part of the current gotcha/#MeToo climate is the women are permitted by the Cultural Arbitrators to be - at the same time - (1) helpless victims who couldn't have possibly done anything in their own defense, or spoken up at any time during the past 35 years, and (2) STRONG, accomplished, powerful women!

WOWY where to start on how extreme me too is hurting and humiliating women. Prime example the wacky testimony of pschobabble actress Dr. Christine Blasé Ford and the staged placement of Alyssa Milano where she seems to think she has a connection to the Senate. How about the caring and compassionate Asia Argento of witchcraft fame who was hurtful to Anthony Bourdain.
