Mary explains that the majority of people wanted to quietly handle the situation; however, a handful of angry citizens have now sued the county in retaliation. She goes on to discuss other details of the case and why many citizens believe the books should not have been purchased with taxpayer money period.

Title: The Transgender Debate: Are Children Too Young?
Topic: Transgender Agenda
Discussed by Mary Elizabeth Castle
with Texas Values (TxValues.org)
Part 1 of 2
You have probably heard about James Younger, the 7-year-old boy
whose mother wants him to chemically castrate him in order so she can have a “daughter”.
The father, who is divorced from the child’s mother, absolutely objects to this medical procedure. Thank goodness, the Judge has ruled BOTH parents must agree to all medical procedures, and the Texas Attorney General’s Office has intervened, as well.
Mary Elizabeth Castle is a Policy Advisor for Texas Values. She says: “Children should not be forced to undergo life-altering and dangerous gender transitions. This is a victory for parental rights and common sense.”
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Can a 7-year-old sign a marriage certificate, have an abortion, sign a binding contract, or direct a doctor to perform a tonsillectomy?
Why is it important to know that James’ mom and dad are divorced? Does it matter if one, or both of the parents, may be homosexual?
Did the parents opt for a Judge or jury trial? Was the mom or dad asking for full custody?
What was the jury decision? Why did the Judge intervene?
Why did the mom think her son wanted to be girl? Did she backtrack on her original statement about the situation?
