What? Judge Overrules (?) Jury, Grants Father of James Younger Joint Custodianship Over Child, Giving Him Some Degree of Say (Maybe?) In Boy's Medical Mutilation?

I don't know what kind of input or voice he'll have, but this is better -- or is it? -- than it was yesterday.

But the judge is simultaneously slapping a gag order on the father, forbidding him from speaking publicly about the case.

That means that she might have granted the father "equal" voice in whether or not the boy is castrated and further encouraged to "socially transition" into a girl boy who wears lipstick, false eyelashes, and other drag-queen accoutrements, but that she'll also side with the mother on every point of dispute, and the father now will be forbidden, upon pain of contempt and jail, to say so in public.

Joint custodianship means that father and mother are equal. But, as they disagree sharply and in a binary way (are we allowed to say this is a binary choice), the judge will actually cast the tie-breaking vote in all disputes.

Think she'll do what judges almost never do and side with a man who is trying to make one more Cis Straight White Man -- one more Future Oppressor -- in the world?

Because I don't. This looks like it's full speed ahead for James' mom to pursue her weird Muchausen-by-proxy/sexual Stage Mom/vengeance on her husband plan.

It's just that the Ruling Class has now decreed that the Commoners shan't be allowed to hear about it nor agitate about it.

I think she might, if it is up to her, but wouldn't that be another legal proceeding?

Regardless, this one has a lot of people seriously pissed off and the judge might do the right thing simply to avoid retribution, potentially even from some rando. I think "will the judge do x" usually comes down to a complex matrix of ideology balanced against what the judge thinks he get get away with, with a dose of self-preservation and payola thrown in.

This one might be a coin-flip.

24 I was thinking about this today. How much would I have to hate someone to chemically castrate and brainwash their child on purpose, in front of them?

And I concluded that I wouldn't, because if I hated someone that much I would have shot them and left the kid alone.

Seriously. Fuck this gay earth. If this is what we're trying to keep the US together for then bring on Miles Massey and split this up 'cause it ain't working anymore.

I hope, I hope to God, that this kid's twin has the mental fortitude to be there for his brother and be his anchor to sanity and reality, because you know God damn well that Mom isn't going to let any adults who conflict with whatever's rattling around inside her head near the kids.

And it's almost always the mother that's pushing the envelope.

I have a good friend, the ex-wife in an attempt to shake him down for more child support, accused him of molesting his daughter. It was completely disproven, but he was a somewhat high profile person and it made the papers.

Of course, nothing happened to her, just a standard legal shakedown. I can't even imagine what I would do if I had an ex-wife play games like that.

43 I've never heard of mutual consent in joint legal custody final decision making. Usually the mother or father has the final say. The decision making is usually split into medical, religious, extra curricular, and school. Final decision goes father gets 2 and mother gets 2.

If the mother gets final decision making in medical or anything, then nothing changes.

On the plus side, I'm seeing a lot of push back on the "therapy" (read: butchery) and how it violates just about every rule of medicine.

I'm honestly shocked that people aren't bringing suit that these "hormone blocker" aren't well-tested and often are being used off-label.

It looks like the good guys are finally taking this approach and hopefully they'll use the left's bureaucracy to checkmate its perverted demands.

94 There is quite a bit of caselaw here regarding judicial gag orders. Generally these fail if challenged under 1st Amendment grounds apart from during an actual trial where the right to a fair trial is involved.

Under TX laws, I would suppose that the minor's name and pictures might not be permitted to be posted but that varies by state to state. The Supreme Court generally considers newsworthiness as a factor as to whether a court may suppress public records. In this case, the countervailing interest would be privacy of the child. Since the trial is over, there is no additional risk of influencing a jury.

I was livid when I realized it is happening in D/FW, more or less my stomping grounds.

Coppell shares city limit lines with where I grew up.

97 The dad can fight the gag order, especially if he feels its been placed to allow the judge to endanger the child...now that the Governor has gotten involved there is a lot less opportunity for underhandedness...but I agree that there is no real purpose for the gag rule other than the Judge was professionally embarrassed by the public blowback and wants to avoid that going forward.

Any argument that the mother is in danger because of the publicity is just face saving cover.

100 that experiment was already done on a twin castrated via botched circumcision in the 70s. Raised as a girl, never told, etc. Always felt wrong, found out the truth, ended up killing self. Was known as baby x. The doc that recommended was lauded rather than getting treatment deserved. Sounds like she's going to get the socialism right this time.

And the doc had the twins act out sexual roles while he took pictures.

These procedures should not be made available to minors. If you want to chop your cock off at your 18th birthday party, have at it, but gender reassignment surgery is not a life-saving procedure, it's cosmetic.

I don't know the rules for certain, but I imagine you probably can't get honker-enlargement of wiener-lengthenings when you are a minor without parental consent so you shouldn't be able to get a cock-section inversion or an addadicktome procedure either.

123 97, this is not a criteria under federal 1st Amendment rights. Otherwise, all sorts of information derogatory to a person could be potentially blocked from release such as a Mafia witness who testifies in open court against his boss. The privacy interest would rest with the child because of potential future trauma but the other is newsworthy in that a licensed doctor of children proposed such actions to their own child.

I'm no legal eagle, but is there some wiggle room here? James Younger is forbidden from speaking publicly about the case. Meaning this particular legal proceeding, right? But wouldn't necessarily forbid Younger from speaking about HIS SON, going forward. Might need some help from legal counsel on how to verbally tiptoe around the gag order - that is, still publicly advocate for his son's protection while avoiding words that refer to the specific legal case.

As Zombie has well explained to us, you need adult sex organs to do the gender transition surgeries. Never hit puberty, you are going to have probs making those surgeries feasible.

My sibling is trans, and they think all this messing with kids via hormone blockers and surgeries is monstrous. There ARE people in the trans community that think this is a bridge too far, that it should not be done until age 18. But they are marginalized by the louder, crazier trans voices, and people who think of themselves as trans allies who do not have to personally suffer the consequences of this madness.

I've advised people that they have to be very, very careful in asking for a Guardian Ad Litem - should only be used if both parents are dangerous (ie meth heads) and there's no other choice. A g.a.l. can go off in a direction and ask for things that *neither* parent wants to happen, including sending the kid to CPS.

Sure - these psychiatrists are driving this - they are trying to say its a medical condition but obviously they wouldn't medically alter people to look like tables or frogs if the patient professed to be one - especially a six year old who is role playing.

So this is really a "social" thing, not a mental issue at this young age...but even an 18 year-old thinking they are Ghengis Khan would require counseling and convincing them they are not this Mongolian killer - they wouldn't advice he grow a fu Manchu and slaughter his neighbors as a cure.

Exactly. I was reading the comments at SFGate (I refuse to link) and easily half of them were talking about children being sexualized when they're basically babies, and being able to make decisions like this. People fully convinced they had such cognitive powers at the age of 7 to decide their sexual future.

So of course a 3 year old would know full well if they were a woman trapped in a mans body. I guess babies undergo a mental puberty long before the body finally catches up.

202 It's a small victory, but it's not the end of the fight.

According to LifeSiteNews, although he's still joint conservator of both children, he's actually going to be getting less time to spend with them. On the other hand, the mother no longer has full control over their psychological care.

So far, no one has gone into detail about the other issues; whether Mr. Younger needs to "affirm" the trans persona or if he's allowed to have his children in contact with others who also do not "affirm" the persona - which bring up some serious first amendment issues, considering that he and the children are Orthodox Christians. (Mom was too, but apparently is no longer practicing.)

At the very least, though, this has apparently bought some time. I'm sure it's not the last battle here, and I think the gag order on the parents is mostly to keep him from making the next round public - and I'm sure there will be a next round. So... we're not out of the woods yet.

It's more likely to be the precursor to the upcoming unpleasantries seven out of 10 Americans expect. But, yes, "pedophilia is a lifestyle, haters" is coming soon to be another precurse(r).

This is probably evil of me to suggest, because I know how important siblings are, but can they do a Parent Trap? Give each parent one child and let that parent dictate how that child is raised? Whichever one goes to the mom is a lost cause. But at least one child has a chance of growing up sane, instead of damaging both utterly as some sort of twisted psych experiment for the mom.

210 Eugene Volokh indicates in a 2014 post that the following precedents might apply to child custody battles and gag orders. Troxel v. Grandville, 530 US 57 (2000) but contra Smith v. Daily Mail 443 U.S. 97 (1979). Grandville suggests it that child's interests in privacy must fall to that of a constitutional right to free speech and free press.

Seminal case is Nebraska Press Assoc. v. Stuart in 1976 which dealt with a gag order during a trial.

A similarly controversial family court case in Mass, Justina Pelletier, where doctors in a Mass hospital connived with the Mass social workers to take Justina from her parents because the parents sought alternative treatment for the daughter at another hospital.

Court had to drop the gag order after national publicity and Alan Dershowitz weighed in.

Posted by: LizLem at October 24, 2019 06:11 PM (hvf9s)

Oh, it's usually a vocal totalitarian minority. I bet most actual trans people (not fashion trans gender nonbinary silly people) also think trans"women" should not compete at sports against actual women.

I think transgenderism is a serious mental condition that should be be treated, and not by bodily mutilation, which I think should be against medical ethics.

However, I won't treat a person who decided to "transition" badly just because I think he/she is sadly misguided as long as they just want to live their lives and not bother anyone.

It's the screaming banshees that are terrorizing society.

252 The trannie community pushes the early intervention (ie abusing the prepubescent boys) so they can interrupt puberty and stop male characteristics from forming,


Everyone knows that artificial hormones are a very likely source of cancer. I don't see how just the threat of cancer doesn't stop parents and children and even older nutball from not doing the hormones.


And drag queens and trannies are just black face re women.

253 243 Gag order means dad can't raise money online for appeals or other legal means.

Posted by: strong pimp

I don't think that gag order will stand in this case. The father can appeal and the public's right to know that courts are ordering or can order a 7 year old to be chemically castrated will over ride the concerns of the Judge for her professional reputation. And the Governor is involved now - so there is a no small amount of leverage in that office over state judicial proceedings...

254 Of course I'm a bit extremist on this stuff.

It's my belief that the human brain develops in phases and from most of what I've read parts of don't even fully develop until you are about 24-25 YO.

I personally think, unless you are seeing suicidal/homocidal attempts or obsession in that direction, that even psychotropic drugs or ADHD meds shouldn't be administered to developing brains, and though I have no studies to back me up, I suspect the administration of psychotropic drugs to children is responsible for the increasing number of suicides among our youth, either directly or from those that turn of age and stop taking them.

I consider it like putting your kid through knee surgery when they have pain during a growth spurt that would eventually sort itself out, it's an extreme permanent solution for a temporary problem that may likely have future repercussions.

I would have never let them put my daughter on that stuff. Never. And if they wanted to give her hormone blockers, it would be war, and I do mean war.

Gag orders are the most obnoxious rulings around. This is a hill to die on while trying to protect a child.

Giving more power to a judge is not the solution, and if the judge is impartial (i think not) then she will withhold the puberty blockers regardless of what the father says or does.

Probably they didn't want to give sole conservator to the dad ... but they also didn't want to give to the mom (which was more or less what the prior status was), but they wanted to change the previous/existing status somehow.

Inconsistent/botched jury verdicts happen, especially with a family law judge that's probably an idiot and doesn't do many jury trials anyway.

288 Re 247, it appears that the jury had sympathy for the wife because the husband was a poseur/fraud. Not sure if the jury could hear what the loving mother intended for the children though. I think that their decision was simply who was the best for the mother.

I honestly think that part of this poisoning of the family is from the idea of overpopulation by the elite so the destruction of the family, abortion up to birth, etc. is designed to pit women against men so that ordinaries do not reproduce. Importation of a servile caste will then take the place of the troublesome citizens.

The original Kingsmen which was surprisingly good had a take on that and I suspect that the guy who wrote the screenplay had got the idea for the villains from somewhere among the trendy elites in Horridwood Town.

322 Except for four years in college I've lived in N.J. My whole life. I know the pluses and the minuses. It's too crowded and the taxes are too high and we generally have nutty leftist Governors and State Government. However, I know the state much better than people who haven't lived here and think they're experts on the state because they flew into Newark Airport and drove up the Turnpike on their way somewhere else a couple of times. You (generalized you) don't like N.J?. That's fine. God bless you. I hope you enjoy the state you live in. Nobody has ever heard me knock another state, because I can't because I've only visited other state and my knowledge would be very limited. I don't think Delaware is a terrible state because the traffic around Rehobeth Beach is as bad as that of N.J>

All I can say is I was brought up here when N.J. was more rural, and I spent time outside fishing and catching frogs. I had good teachers who were kind to a lonely child, I learned how to love reading from a mother who lived here. I met my dear husband here and was married here. I was baptized here, I felt a calling to ministry and was ordained here, I've served in rural areas with beautiful scenery. I've served fine people who love Christ and each other. So I will always be grateful for things that touched my life while here and I hope other people can say the same about the state the live in.

Will I always live here. Probably not, but the "I hate _______ for all states in just a bore.

329 The Save James site is calling this a victory. Dad has 50/50 joint conservator-ship on all issues which is a change. an earlier court (and judge) gave the mother sole conservator-ship over medical decisions. I think other issues like physical custody sharing have not been ruled on yet but this ruling is very encouraging.



I also am not sure there is actually a gag order in place.

330 So, all this "judge" did was give the father permission to watch his own son's suffering in person. And in silence.

it appears that the jury had sympathy for the wife because the husband was a poseur/fraud."



I'd say screaming nutjob, but that's about take

I personally don't care that he lied to his wife about having military experience, etc. That was a civil matter during their divorce and has no bearing on this. He is still the sane parent in this scenario. NOT mentioned in her lawyer's statement on what the jury considered were the false domestic violence charges the mother lodged against the father and which he was acquitted of.

Anon... that article gets many facts of the case wrong. For instance, the article says that the judge's order continues joint custody. That is untrue since an earlier order had transferred sole decision power on medical issues to the mother and specifically denied father the right to take the child to a different psychologist for a second opinion. This decision will actually return true joint custody to the father.

And if the judge said the mother had asked that father retain joint decision making power RE the little boy's transition, she lied. The mother has repeatedly tried to remove not only decision making power but also visitation from the father in court filings that are available online.
