LifeSiteNews) — A young single father is fighting for full custody of his 3-year-old son to protect him from his mother’s gender confusion and mental illness.
Harrison Tinsley’s custody battle for his young son, Sawyer, has attracted attention after the father started a fundraiser, sharing his story and asking for help gathering money to cover legal expenses.
“All of my life I have always wanted to be a dad more than anything,” Tinsley wrote on the GiveSendGo he created. “In 2019, unexpectedly, my girlfriend at the time told me she was pregnant; we were both ecstatic. Unfortunately, that excitement turned to pain when his mother, who suffers from serious underlying mental health problems, abruptly ended our relationship and prevented me from seeing Sawyer.”
Tinsley met his son for the first time when he was 15 months old, “after a year-long court battle.” He moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and “was granted 50/50 custody.” Now, Sawyer’s mother calls herself a lesbian and non-binary and is attempting to raise him in the same confusion. She reportedly uses “they/them” pronouns, dresses and does makeup for her son.
“Sawyer says his mother tells him he is both a boy and a girl, but Sawyer is fully aware he is a boy,” Tinsley explained. “I am certain this is confusing him and emotionally traumatizing. He is not old enough to even be thinking about this ideology, but his mother is coercing him into it.”
The boy’s father also shared that after going to court against his ex-girlfriend who was “arrested for felony child endangerment,” he learned that “she had slandered and defamed me for years.” Tinsley provided “8 hours of police body-cam footage, 800 pages of documentary evidence, and psychological studies showing Sawyer’s health, safety and wellbeing were being jeopardized by his mother.” The court “denied [his] request for full-custody and to stop Sawyer’s mother from treating him as non-binary,” apparently with little evidence to counter Tinsley’s argument.
A hearing date was also set by the court to determine “whether Sawyer’s mother can force him to get COVID-19 vaccines, which I oppose as Sawyer is so young and healthy.” Tinsley is currently appealing the custody decision in the court of appeals.
“I am still fighting, and will fight till my last breath, for full custody of my son to keep him safe, healthy, and happy,” Tinsley concluded. “He deserves a wonderful childhood, happy with himself as a rambunctious, tough, silly, beautiful boy … Please help me save my son. All funds will be used for attorney’s fees. I hope and pray for aid in this fight, and I thank you with every bit of my heart.”
Due to mental health issues, Sawyer’s mother was taking five different drugs for PTSD, mood stabilization, ADHD, and anxiety, according to a Child Protective Services (CPS) report obtained by the Daily Wire. The report described the woman’s mental instability as a “complicating factor, but not a safety issue.”
The Daily Wire also noted that the boy’s pediatrician is affiliated with a youth “gender clinic” which gives puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and referrals for mutilating surgeries to gender-confused minors as young as 12 years old. In court, the doctor was permitted to remain Sawyer’s primary care provider.
Unfortunately, Tinsley is not the only father fighting to protect his child from gender ideology being pushed by the child’s mother. In 2019, LifeSiteNews began its coverage of Jeff Younger’s battle to gain partial custody and decision-making authority over one of his 7-year-old twins, whose adoptive mother planned to raise him as a girl.
Though granted joint authority in deciding whether the boy would pursue a “gender transition,” Younger later lost in court when his ex-wife was given temporary full custody over both boys, once again pressuring the father to accept forced gender confusion to be involved in his child’s life.
In the most recent development of the saga, Younger’s appeal to require his now 10-year-old son to move back to Texas from California was denied. Younger reportedly worries that his ex-wife will be able to continue with the “gender transition” in the liberal state, which has declared itself a “sanctuary” for minors to mutilate their healthy bodies in the name of gender identity.
In 2018, Ohio’s state government revoked custody rights from both parents of a teenage girl for their objection to their daughter being given cross-sex hormones as a solution to her depression, anxiety, and gender dysphoria. The decision was opposed by local pro-life groups, who took a joint stand against the attack on parental rights and allowance of child mutilation.
This is where a father sacrifices and takes that child far far away despite the law.
I agree
Well, I hope someone buys that father a round of drinks!
Exactly!
There's your sign.
Ugh. Not really. The father needed to get engaged. Get to know his future wife. Dump her before bringing kids into it
Five different drugs? That probably helps to create half of her poor mental state.
And the other half most likely comes from her commiecrat indoctrination from those indoctrination camps called universities!
True, but our evil government will hunt them down and force an evil result.

OMG what the hell is wrong with these brain dead parents who think a 3 year old is gender confused!! It is just so hard for me to believe we have SO MANY people walking around without ONE OUNCE of common sense or critical thinking skills NOW they are giving birth JEEZE!!!
the mom seems like a whacko
the egregious circumstances beg the question concerning the treatment of predators that prey on minors.
My parents divorced when I was 12. I was the sensitive kid in the bunch and the confusion and feelings of abandonment really screwed with my head. I realize now that I had it pretty good compared to some children. Even today though...at 55...I’m terrified of fatherhood and will never have kids. Complex trauma is very real and so...ugh....its just really sad.
If she’s driven to emasculate the child, she is also driven to emasculate the father. There has been a lot of that going on in this country for far too long. Bitterly ambitious witches with nothing else going for them except for their being smart in a bad way(s).
Future Serial Killers of America.
Evil. Butchering of kids with the court’s assistance.
I’m sorry to hear of your struggles. Life is hard enough as it is. 😢
Yep. Old School. Worked then, works now. When a member of the younger generation tells me I’m “Old School”, I just smile and say “Nope! Just Schooled.”
It’s crazy!
This woman needs an exorcism!
