DALLAS, Texas, October 24, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The judge presiding over the case of Jeffrey Younger, the father who is trying to protect his seven-year-old son, James, from chemical castration via a gender “transition,” ruled today that the parents will have joint conservatorship over James, which includes making joint medical decisions for the child.
Judge Kim Cooks of the 255th district also put a gag order on both parents so that they cannot speak to the press about the case and decided that the father is not required to pay attorney fees. The judge’s decision means that the Save James website will have to be shut down.
Mr. Younger and his ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, were in court last week fighting over custody and decision-making abilities for James and his twin, Jude. Dr. Georgulas wants to continue to “transition” James “into” a girl called “Luna.” Mr. Younger wanted to take a “wait and see” approach rather than start the child on puberty blockers.
Eleven out of 12 jurors decided Monday that Mr. Younger should not be granted Sole Managing Conservatorship over his twin boys. Dr. Georgulas admitted in court she is not actually the twins’ biological mother and used in-vitro fertilization via an egg donor to gestate them.On Monday, a jury ruled 11-1 that the current Joint Managing Conservatorship should be replaced by a Sole Managing Conservatorship – and that Mr. Younger should not be that person.
Judge Cooks’ ruling was originally scheduled for Wednesday afternoon but was delayed. When a seasoned civil court journalist from the Dallas Morning News asked the court clerk for the ruling schedule and provided her with the specific case number, she confirmed the day but refused to share the time of the ruling.
Since kindergarten, Dr. Georgulas has enrolled James in school as a girl under the name “Luna.” She began telling him he’s a girl when he was just three, and testified in court that she began to believe that when he liked a McDonald’s toy meant for girls. James’ pediatrician records also indicate Dr. Georgulas has met with GENECIS, a medical “transition” clinic in Dallas and is considering “hormone suppression” when James is closer to eight or nine years old.

Prior to this case, Dr. Georgulas had exclusive rights to make decisions regarding psychological and psychiatric care for James and Jude. She needed to inform Mr. Younger of her decisions, but he couldn’t weigh in on or change the decisions. GENECIS wouldn’t begin James on puberty blockers without Mr. Younger’s consent.
Dr. Georgulas and Mr. Younger’s messy custody dispute entailed, in part, the latter filing a counter-petition to the court requesting sole managing conservatorship in order to obtain the ability to make decisions on psychological and psychiatric care. This would have given him the ability to prevent James’ from starting puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
Mr. Odeneal told supporters that an appeal “takes about a year” and it would be very difficult to overturn a jury ruling.
There were only three news agencies present throughout the trial: LifeSiteNews, The Texan, and Channel One (a Russian News Agency). After the jury ruling, the public outcry has been immense. Blogger Matt Walsh started the hashtag #protectjamesyounger on twitter. It has been used in tweets over 41,000 times. Additionally, other conservative news agencies are beginning to pick up the story.
A petition created by LifeSiteNews in support of Jeffrey Younger’s efforts to protect his son from being transitioned into a girl has been signed by over 65,000 people.

LifeSite reporter locked out of courtroom of 7-yr-old ‘gender transitioning’ case

DALLAS, Texas, October 24, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — LifeSite reporter Madeleine Jacob and close to 50 other people, including The Texan News, were refused entrance into the Dallas courtroom where the trial concerning 7-year-old James Younger came to a close today. Three bailiffs were ordered to stand guard in front of the locked door as Judge Kim Cooks announced her final ruling granting joint custody of James.

In the #ProtectJamesYounger case, Judge Cooks CLOSED the court room and three bailiffs prevented anyone without a hard card press pass from entering the court room.
At the #ProtectJamesYounger case and close to 50 people were denied entry to the court room. Some came from across the state and without warning Judge Cooks closed the court room.
Despite not needing to show a press pass to enter the court at any time during the past two weeks, Jacob found herself standing outside in the hallway this afternoon because she didn't have a hard copy of her credentials. A local CBS-affiliate was invited in with their camera.
Jacob, who has been in the courtroom every time the trial has been in session, presented not only her license but also a digital press pass in an effort to get in. She was told she needed a hard copy press pass to enter. Industry practice is generally that a digital press pass is enough to gain admission to an event.
“I think it’s unfair that the media outlets who have been covering it from the beginning were thrown out while the local mainstream media outlets were invited in,” Kim Roberts, a reporter for The Texan, told LifeSite.
Judge Kim Cooks just closed the #ProtectJamesYounger courtroom. LifeSiteNews, @TheTexanNews, and many other reporters were preventing from entering the closed court because we didn’t have ‘hard cards press passes. Digital passes didn’t count. No family either.
On Monday, the jury ruled 11-1 against Jame’s father, Jeffrey Younger, in his fight against his ex-wife, Dr. Anna Georgulas, who wants to raise James as “Luna” and force Jeffrey to affirm that identity.
The case has garnered national headlines in the last 48 hours, with Texas Senator Ted Cruz calling it “horrific and tragic” while Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced he is launching an investigation.
The jury’s decision was that Mr. Younger should not be given sole managing conservatorship over James and his twin brother Jude. Rather, the current joint managing conservatorship should be replaced by a sole managing conservatorship. However, Judge Cooks ruled today that there will be a joint managing conservatorship over James.

October 24, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is the latest national lawmaker to speak against forcing 7-year-old James Younger to undergo a gender “transition” demanded by his mother but opposed by his father.
Jeffrey Younger and his son JamesSaveJames.com
On Monday, a Dallas jury ruled 11-1 against father Jeffrey Younger in his fight against his ex-wife, Dr. Anna Georgulas, who wants to raise James as “Luna” and force his father to affirm that identity, and has discussed subjecting him to "hormone suppression" between ages eight and nine – all against the boy’s will, his father says. Judge Kim Cooks is slated to issue a final ruling later today.
The case has sparked intense national outrage even as the mainstream press largely ignores it, with experts warning that not only is affirming a child’s gender confusion psychologically unhealthy in the long run, but exposure to sex-change hormones carries serious physical risks including infertility, impairment of adult sex function, and reduced life expectancy.
Numerous public figures have weighed in on the case, the latest being Sen. Paul with a tweet Thursday, declaring that what Georgulas wanted constitutes child abuse:
We don’t let kids drink alcohol til 21. People want to move smoking age to 21. But we will allow a 7 year old to have his life and body altered like this? This is child abuse and the state should side with the father who is trying to protect the child.” https://t.co/fNXF50qQEY
Other lawmakers to comment include Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Dan Crenshaw, both of Texas:
A 7-year-old child doesn't have the maturity to make profound decisions like this. The state of Texas should protect this child's right to choose—as an informed, mature person—and not be used as a pawn in a left-wing political agenda. #ProtectJamesYounger
This is heartbreaking and sets a horrible precedent.
A 7-year-old can’t possibly make this decision or understand it. Parents should know better. I hope this father receives the public support he needs. #ProtectJamesYoungerhttps://t.co/4hszPgqGWe
Regarding what lawmakers could do, the Washington Examinernotes that Texas does not currently prohibit legal guardians from giving puberty blockers or hormones to minors; Conservative Review senior editor Daniel Horowitz suggeststhe state convene a special legislative session to ban the practice, and that Congress limit federal courts’ ability to interfere with states that do the same.
Gov. Abbott announced Wednesday evening that state officials are investigating the situation:
FYI the matter of 7 year old James Younger is being looked into by the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. #JamesYounger
As of the time of this writing, a Change.org petition calling on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and state lawmakers to intervene has received more than 223,000 signatures. LifeSiteNews has also launched its own petition, which has collected more than 59,000 signatures so far.

Munchhausen by Proxy is a familiar and ugly behavior in which parents, often mothers, seek attention by attributing illnesses to their children. They successfully convince children, bystanders, sometimes even medical professionals, that their children are sick.
And they do this, often, by poisoning their children or otherwise interfering with their health.
The James Younger case seems to be showing some of the familiar symptoms of Munchhausen by Proxy.
A video has now come into public light where you can see the father asking James questions about whether or not he’s a girl or a boy. The child answers that he is a girl because his mother told him so.
“You’re a boy, right?” asks Younger.
“No, I’m a girl,” replies James.
“Who told you you’re a girl?” asks Younger.
“Mommy,” said James.
The father continued to ask questions of his young son about his preferences, including how “mommy puts you in a dress and puts nail polish on you?” The son answers in the affirmative, noting that his mother buys him dresses, hairbands, and hairclips, and that he likes nail polish.
“And what does mommy tell you?” asks the father.
“She tells me I’m a girl,” replies James.
It's bad enough that lefties insist that 8-year-olds are capable of deciding to take medications that will scar their bodies and prevent them from functioning as adult men or women, but even they aren't claiming that 3-year-olds can do this. Yet.
And this is a fairly clear sign that the 'gender syndrome' here is manufactured.
If the Left hadn't embraced transgenderism lately, this would be treated as Munchhausen by Proxy.
Younger believed that his ex-wife, Anne Georgulas, was “only giving [James] love and affection if he acted like a girl,” and “was putting my son into time-outs and she would lock him in his room and say that monsters only eat boys.”
The transition therapist, for instance, observed that James is oddly inconsistent when it comes to wanting to be “Luna.” At one point, James was presented with two pieces of paper, one with the word “James” and one with the word “Luna,” and asked to pick the name he preferred. When in the presence of his mother, he chose “Luna.” When in the presence of his father, he chose “James.”
This isn't really about politics. It's about the reality that child abuse will be defended if it serves the ideological cause of the Left.
