"I came one day and she was talking about having top-surgery and being non-binary."

[PJMedia.com] When the gender issue began to become inflamed by activists a few years ago, we were assured that the following scenario would never happen. We were told that anyone who believed a children and family services agency in any state could swoop in and with little or no cause remove a minor child from their parent's custody because the parents opposed their child "transitioning" was paranoid.

Jennifer was admitted to the hospital based on her threats to kill herself. The hospital and state did nothing wrong in that respect. But with nothing more than a cursory examination, they began to "transition" Jennifer to the male gender.

"I came one day and she was talking about having top-surgery and being non-binary," Krista says of the aide. She complained to the on-duty doctor, who dismissed her. "He told me, 'why are not you more concerned that your daughter is trying to harm herself, then what [the aide] is talking about?'"

I don't believe either parent ever said they weren't concerned about the suicidal ideations of their daughter. They were well within their rights to question the treatment the hospital was giving her and the transitioning activities staff carried out against their expressed wishes...
