'It's the Child Who Suffers': A Father Battles the Court System to Save His Daughter From Gender Ideology
Epoch Times ^ | 9/2/23 | Sean Tseng and Helen Billings

Posted on 09/02/2023 10:14:49 AM PDT by CFW

“Your daughter is trans, and you’re a homophobic racist if you don’t accept her,” the court-appointed guardian told Mark. Stunned, Mark realized the gravity of what his daughter, Summer, was experiencing. Determined to intervene, he reached out to resources he hoped would offer an alternative perspective, one that could steer her away from a decision he feared might haunt her for life.

Summer was only 12 years old when she expressed a desire to transition to male. According to Mark, the decision followed a traumatic three-month period during which she was emotionally vulnerable and lacked proper guidance. Rather than receiving the mental health support she needed, Summer was drawn into discussions of transgender identity.

Mark shared his story in an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times. He hopes it can empower other parents to critically engage with the gender theories increasingly plaguing the children of this generation.

My heart breaks for the parents who are being forced into accepting the abuse of their child. I notice it is usually the mother endorsing or actually encouraging the abuse, while the father is pushed to the outside and accused of "homophobia". A form of Munchausen syndrome by proxy which is also most likely to be the mother.

Everything is racist if it goes against the progressive narrative.

Although it is a tragic story, the reporter gives us no idea as to where and when the events took place. I understand the need for anonymity, but at least the story should give the state and time frames. Is this happening in some extremely liberal jurisdiction, like California, or are we dealing with out of control bureaucrats in a more conservative state?

Pathetic that this is what it has come to.

Had enough yet?

Unfortunately lives must be ruined before the lawsuits end this madness.

Thank you! I didn’t realize it was behind a paywall. Usually those have the “premium” tag on them. My bad!

I have friends, both male and female, who have gone through this treatment by the courts in custody disputes, even those that don’t involve transgenderism, but rather the usual divorce problems affecting children—depression and anxiety, eating disorders, school problems, damaged self-worth, general disaffection, hopelessness, rage, and insolence.

No-fault is a rotten system, one that nevertheless assigns fault to “conservative identity” instead of the corrupt behavior by the abandoning spouse who wants to break the marriage and take the kids away from the other parent. Today’s family courts are often quite prejudiced against believing Christians, military veterans and lately, white males.

It was time to take his daughter and become a fugitive.

I've seen the same thing happen in Virginia, although close to DC. But the internet has made all kinds of disfunction viral. A family court judge in Iowa, Utah, Mississippi or Idaho is reading the same law journals and subscribed to the same law web sites as those in New York and California. Same with the professors at all law schools, the latter of which have been steadily discounting or even denouncing the Constitution and favoring case law; i.e. winning by any means possible.

There's no place to go any more and no way to avoid surveillance cameras, facial recognition technology, RFID sensors, mandated credit card and phone provider disclosures, extensive ID requirements if someone tried to set up an untraceable identity—all kinds of digital tracking. Plus, the daughter doesn't want to go and wouldn't cooperate.

If I had exhausted all legal remedies, I truly think I would give that serious consideration. It would take some planning since in this day and time we are tracked at our every move. Cash only, no cell phone, change in looks, etc., all while dealing with a confused and brainwashed child. Yes, you would eventually be caught and would probably do some serious jail time. But, if you could only buy enough time to deprogram your child, it would be worth it.

Maybe so. I am surprised at hearing of the craziness coming from school boards in deeply Republican, even MAGA counties. The most conservative families tend to homeschool or to go to church affiliated private schools. Understandable, but that tends to detach these parents from getting involved in public schools, where over 80% of students attend. The school boards, library boards, city councils, and county commissions need to be cleansed of leftists. A county that Trump carried by 20 percentage points three years ago should have conservatives in every office from dogcatcher to the county executive.
