California Judge Revokes Jeffrey Younger's Parental Rights, Allows Chemical Castration for 12-Year-Old Son Transitioning Since Age Five
Nov 23, 2024, 02:49 PM
A California judge has revoked the parental rights of Jeffrey Younger, a Texas father, allowing his ex-wife to proceed with gender-affirming care for their 12-year-old son. The ruling permits the mother, a pediatrician, to administer hormone therapy, which Younger has opposed, arguing against the chemical and surgical transition of their son. The judge's decision marks a significant legal setback for Younger, who has been fighting for parental rights amid a contentious custody battle. The mother has reportedly sought to transition their son since he was five years old, leading to a prolonged legal struggle over the child's treatment and upbringing.
