Little bit more of the story:

This is an interesting case, but I think the article is a bit confusing. Re-reading it revealed this is a custody case, and the jury only decided on who gets sole custody. The jury didn’t say the mother could transition the boy to the female gender, although it’s possible she’ll have the sole authority to decide to go that route should the judge finalize the custody issue. But it’s telling that the jury decided not to vote for joint custody, which tells me the jury probably heard the whole story, which we haven’t had the benefit of hearing via this article alone.

Decades ago, I used to practice family law (divorces and custody) and hated it with a passion. In almost every custody case both parents would accuse the other of horrendous things, most times without merit. There was a saying that criminal law was usually the worst of society behaving at its best in the courtroom, and family law was the best of society behaving at its worst. Not saying the father’s claims are baseless here, but I’d like to be able to read testimony transcripts and pre-trial briefs to get a better gauge of all the facts and issues before opining. Nonetheless, it’ll be interesting to see how this case plays out in the appellate courts.

With that said, I do agree with the other sentiments that a 7 year old boy is way too young to undergo gender-changing treatments, regardless of who eventually wins custody. I wonder what the rules of ethics are within the medical profession on something like this?
