Religious parents lose custody of transgender teen for refusing hormone treatment

By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, February 20, 2018

A Hamilton County, Ohio, judge took a transgender teen away from her parents on Friday because they refused to allow the 17-year-old to undergo hormone treatments as part of a female-to-male transition.

Judge Sylvia Sieve Hendon awarded custody of the teenager to her grandparents, who will be allowed to make medical decisions for the minor and legally change her name.

The parents objected to the transition procedures because of their religious beliefs and refused to call their daughter by her chosen, male name, court records show.

 

“It is unfortunate that this case required resolution by the Court as the family would have been best served if this could have been settled within the family after all parties had ample exposure to the reality of the fact that the child truly may be gender-nonconforming and has a legitimate right to pursue life with a different gender identity than the one assigned at birth,” Judge Hendon wrote in her decision.

The custody battle lasted more than a year and included interventions by the Hamilton Country Department of Jobs and Family Services and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where the child is being treated.

The parents ultimately agreed to let the minor reside with her grandparents for the remaining months of her adolescence. The child’s grandparents will be allowed to pursue transition treatments recommended by the child’s doctors after a court-ordered independent psychiatric evaluation.

Years ago I watched a video generated by the Kretchmier's(SP) New York City's Van ministry Power to cope program on this subject.  A middle aged women told her story how she became a man and lived a a man for many years, then woke up to her original identity and returned to being a women.  Goes to show extreme surgery is not a good idea.  hormone stuff can be changed,  but the hair on the face can only be  radiated away.  This girl/boy should watch this video.

The scary part is the government intrusion and removing the child from the custody of the parents. "Jazz" from the so called reality TV show has had regression therapy into past lives to help him/her deal with the mess life has become

Not so sure its the government sticking its nose into the situation as it is people bringing the government into the situation? And now they're involved for the duration.

It is the government/judge that took custody away from the parents. A teenager is not considered mature enough to legally do many things.Yet a judge in his "wisdom" ruled this teenager is mature enough to make such a life altering decision

I got that. What I'm getting at, is, did someone take the parents to court over this? or did the government out of the clear blue sky, just say come to court we need to see who has the rights here? or maybe I'm not understanding as to how the government got involved in the first place!! It just seems from the article, or at least to me, that someone hired a lawyer, etc.!!

what a colossal waste of time, money, and energy for all involved.... What was so urgent that the kid felt she needed immediate hormone treatment when she'd turn 18 in less than a year, and could then make her own decisions??

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

Of course someone brought it to the court. The court is responsible for the decision to sever parental control over something that is a controversial procedure

The judge is the only one that can answer that. To the parents that lost custody of their daughter to engage in this risky or uncertain behavior it represents far more than a waste of time,money and energy. I can't imagine the heartbreak of the parents over the loss of their daughter and the actions of grandparents willing to stand in and allow this

Seems logical.If you believe you were meant to be a dragon who has the right to stop you from becoming one legally? It would be interesting to know the mentality of someone in the medical profession that would actually do this.
