The Texas Supreme Court ruled against Jeffrey Younger in a court case to prevent his ex-wife from taking their son to California, where he could be “chemically castrated.”
“The Supreme Court of Texas denied my Mandamus, effectively terminating my parental rights. My children are now subject to being chemically castrated in California. Texas is an empire of child abuse, led by Texas judges,” Younger said.

Younger has attempted to prevent the medical mutilation of his son for years now.
He accused his ex-wife of using the children to push her “gender affirming” practice.

The Post Millennial reported:
This after Judge Kim Cooks, on October 24, said that both parents should have a “joint managing conservatorship,” which each able to have “a say in his medical treatment,” The Texan reported.
The custody case was before the Supreme Court of Texas, which ruled against Younger. Younger had issued a petition on December 16 to try to retain his parental rights after his ex-wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, took the boys to California.
California has a law in place, starting on Sunday, that children in that state will not be returned to their home state in the event that the home state would prevent the children from being medically transitioned to present as the opposite sex. Younger wanted the boys brought home.
California Senate Bill 107, proposed by State Senator Scott Wiener and signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, will “prohibit the enforcement of an order based on another state’s law authorizing a child to be removed from their parent or guardian based on that parent or guardian allowing their child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care.”
“In California we believe in equality and acceptance,” Newsom said in a signing message.
“We believe that no one should be prosecuted or persecuted for getting the care they need — including gender-affirming care. Parents know what’s best for their kids, and they should be able to make decisions around the health of their children without fear. We must take a stand for parental choice. That is precisely why I am signing Senate Bill 107.”
Wiener accused governors Ivey and Abbott of ‘seeking to tear families apart’ for protecting children from being mutilated and castrated.
BIG NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed into law our bill (SB 107) to offer refuge to trans kids & their families if they’re being criminalized in their home states.
States like Texas & Alabama are seeking to tear these families apart. California won’t be party to it. We have your backs. pic.twitter.com/cbQsmhatip

Jeffrey Younger's concern, according to his petition, is that his son “would be subjected to transgender procedures deemed to be child abuse by official opinion of the Texas Attorney General.”
From The Texan:
Since last year, the State of Texas has investigated instances of gender transition surgery as “child abuse” under the penal code. That investigation was extended to puberty-blocking drugs in February after the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) issued a non-binding legal opinion supporting the contention that it meets the standard of “child abuse.”
Without intervention by the court, Younger states, “The Children would lose the protections of injunctions on the Mother that prevent her from chemically castrating the Children or sexually mutilating them in transgender surgeries.”
The OAG filed an amicus letter in the case on December 22 in which Attorney General Ken Paxton sided with Younger.
“[A] trial court has allowed relator’s former partner to move to California with their children over relator’s objection,” the OAG letter reads. “There, she intends to provide the child with potentially irreversible medical interventions that may constitute child abuse under Texas law.”
In August 2021, Dallas County District Court Judge Mary Brown awarded Georgulas full custody of James. Brown also eliminated the requirement that Jeff Younger be notified about James’ medical procedures, except for instances of hormone suppression therapy, puberty-blocking drugs, and gender reassignment surgery.
Under that order, Younger must consent to any decisions made under those categories of procedure.
