Father who pleaded with pediatrician ex-wife not to ‘chemically castrate’ their son, 9, is dealt crushing blow

A Texas father who tried for years to stop his ex-wife from chemically castrating his teenage child, who now calls herself “Luna,” has been dealt a blow in court in California.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Juhas ruled that Jeff Younger’s ex-wife Anne Georgulas would get full custody of his 12-year-old son James and could transition him.

It comes as a blow to Younger, 59, who announced on X that he had lost “all parental rights” over his twins and wished his children goodbye.

‘Goodbye, boys. Maybe we’ll meet when you’re an adult,” he said in the after.

He was allowed “supervised” visitation, but the father said he “wouldn’t do that.”

Younger said he does “send letters and gifts to my sons,” but his ex-wife doesn’t have to make sure the boys receive them.

“Let my story be a warning to young men. Fathers have no rights over their children. Do not enter the family court system,” he said. “California Judge Juhas gave my ex-wife the authority to castrate my son James.”

Chemical castration involves a child taking puberty-blocking drugs to stop the production of sex hormones. It is not the same as surgical castration.

Chemical castration is reversible, but the side effects of long-term use of hormone blockers are currently unknown.

Last year, Younger begged his ex-wife not to chemically castrate their son after she moved to California.

Younger revealed a video of his child claiming he is a girl Tucker Carlson tonight. When asked if he was a boy, James told his father in the video: “No, I’m a girl.”

In the video, which is several years old, the young boy claimed that his mother, who is a pediatrician, told him he was a woman because he “liked girls” and put him in “dresses.”

He claims Georgulas moved to California from Texas in 2022 to seek gender treatment for their son.

A court previously ruled that Georgulas cannot demand “transitional treatment” from their son and “freely recognized” the order. The Texas Supreme Court ruled in December 2022 that she “lacks the legal authority to consent to such therapy.”

“My blood ran cold when I realized what she had planned for that boy,” Younger told Carlson at the time.

He claims the boy’s mother “started transitioning when he was two” and “tried to enroll him in a gender clinic when he was five.”

Younger doesn’t think the mother’s move to California was “an accident.”

A court has previously ruled that Georgulas, a doctor, cannot seek “transitional treatment” for their son, who she claims is a transgender girl named Luna, after seeking medical advice

In 2019, Younger was awarded joint custody of their children, which included having a say in medical decisions regarding the child, including treatment related to gender transition.

In 2021, a judge gave Georgulas full custody of James, including his medical care. But that ruling said the control did not extend to hormone-suppressing therapies, puberty blockers or transgender reassignment surgery.

Permission must also be obtained from the boy’s father for all these treatments, the initial ruling said.

The ruling noted that the mother was awarded full custody in part because Younger “failed to timely pay child support, medical support and interest as ordered, and did not pay his back child support until after the enforcement petition was filed.”

An attorney for Georgulas said at the time that the case “is not about the child’s gender issues” and said there were “issues regarding Jeff’s parenting abilities.”

Younger had asked the Texas Supreme Court to block the mother from moving to California because she feared she could take advantage of the new shelter law, but judges rejected his claim.

The Texas Supreme Court said: “Under an existing Texas court order, to which the mother consented and which the mother acknowledges to be binding on her, the mother lacks the legal right to consent to gender transition therapy for her son.

“This legal disability is as real in California as it is in Texas, and Mother readily acknowledges it.”

It comes as a blow to Younger, 59, who announced on X that he had lost “all parental rights” over his twins and wished his children goodbye. ‘See you guys. Maybe we’ll meet when you’re an adult,” he said in the post

It added that the Texas court order that would prevent Georgulas from obtaining gender transition therapy for her son without Younger’s consent remains in effect nationwide.

The court said: ‘The only court to date has upheld father’s right to withhold consent to gender transition therapy for his son. That right is enforceable in California, where mother does not have the legal capacity to consent to such therapy for the child, either before or after SB 107. [the sanctuary law].’

California’s law protects transgender children and their families who flee “Alabama, Texas, Idaho, or any other state that criminalizes the parents of trans children for allowing them to receive gender-affirming care.”

“If these parents and their children come to California, the legislation will help protect them from having their children taken away or from criminal prosecution for supporting their trans children’s access to health care,” Senator Scott Weiner said in a statement.

The sanctuary law came into effect on January 1, 2023.

Younger also alleged that the child’s school district tried to “secretly transfer” James and forced the father to dress his son in girls’ clothes.

“I took my son to school in boys’ clothes and they gave him a dress and let him go to the girls’ bathroom,” the father of two claimed on Carlson’s show.

According to Younger, Georgulas had the boy registered at school as a girl.

Younger said his case was a “cautionary tale” for “young men.” He said: ‘Fathers have no rights over their children. Do not enter the family court system

Georgulas had long argued that James is transgender and wanted her child to transition to a girl named Luna.

However, her ex-husband did not believe that James had gender dysphoria and that his child only experienced some confusion with gender.

He accused Georgulas of forcing James to socially transition to a girl by making the child wear dresses. However, she claimed that three mental health professionals diagnosed James with gender dysphoria and that therapists recommended he start using the name Luna instead of James.

Georgulas and Younger married in 2010 while members of the Orthodox Church.

They underwent IVF to have twins and requested their gender be male before they were born in 2012.

The couple’s marriage was annulled several years ago due to claims that Younger had lied to Georgulas about a previous marriage and his work.

The arguments over the gender of their child started when Georgulas took James to a gender therapist at the Children’s Hospital Center.

She claims she noticed James asking for girl-themed toys, the child imitating female Disney characters and asking to wear dresses.

The therapist recommended that James begin the social transition by wearing dresses to school and using a different name.
