Jeff Younger, who has been battling for custody of his twin boys for years, fears that a recent court decision will allow his ex-wife to move to California to circumvent a prior ruling and chemically castrate one of the twins.

Younger’s ex-wife, Anne Georgulas, has treated their now 10-year old son James like a girl since he was three, calling him “Luna,” clothing him in dresses, and presenting him in school as a girl. Amid a legal battle that granted her full custody of the children in 2021, Georgulas admitted multiple times under oath that she intends to “transition” James to a girl.

Younger argues that his ex-wife led James to socially present as a girl before he was mature enough to understand its implications. He previously explained to LifeSiteNews that James presented as a boy when he was with Younger, and a former LifeSiteNews reporter who met James observed that he “has the energy and spirit of a young boy,” and engaged in typical boy behaviors, including wrestling.

Dallas District Judge Mary Brown ruled September 21 that Georgulas can move James and his twin brother Jude anywhere in the U.S., and that she is not to disclose their future location to their father. She is currently located in the Dallas area, as is Younger.

Moreover, any of Younger’s visits to his children would have to be “supervised” in the county in which the children will reside, according to the ruling, as Jeff Morgan, a family law reform activist, explained in a YouTube video.

Younger told LifeSiteNews that Georgulas testified under oath in the most recent court hearing that she intends to move to California, which will likely allow her to bypass a prior court ruling that required Younger’s consent to perform “transgender” surgery on, or give puberty blockers to his son.

California has passed a bill that essentially prevents enforcement of other states’ laws that would “penalize individuals from obtaining gender-affirming care that is legal in California,”

“It is the public policy of the state that an out-of-state arrest warrant for an individual based on violating another state’s law against providing, receiving, or allowing their child to receive gender-affirming health care or gender-affirming mental health care is the lowest law enforcement priority,” states the California bill, which reached the desk of Gov. Gavin Newsom on September 9 and, if not vetoed, will become law.

“As soon as she’s there for a year, my sons will become citizens of California,” Younger said. “And then it becomes legal for them to castrate James. So they’ll chemically castrate him.”

Younger told the Times that he was ordered not to change James out of a dress when he visited, which he firmly refused.

“I’ve told the judge I’ll just go to jail over that,” Younger said. “I’m not harming my son.”

He added that the judge had ordered him to pay hundreds of dollars for each supervised visit, and that “he was not allowed to see his children individually, and had to see them together.”

Georgulas, a pediatrician, has been granted the “sole right” to manage psychiatric and psychological treatment of the twin boys. This order came as a surprise to Younger as it was neither mentioned in court nor recommended by the custody evaluator, Benjamin Albritton.

Georgulas has taken James to a homosexual counselor who diagnosed him with gender dysphoria. Younger said that with the counselor, who affirms that James is a “girl,” James has identified as a boy.

“When I took James to see his gay counselor who affirms him as a girl, he went as a boy. She put two sticky notes down onto her desk. One had James on it. One had his fake girl name. She said, which name do you want to be called, pick up the sticky note. He picked up James,”

Walt Heyer, a former transgender and current activist for those who regret their “transitions,” wrote in a piece published at The Federalist, “The glaring disparity between a child’s preferred identity when in the presence of one parent versus the other should cause a therapist to reassess, perhaps nullify the diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and terminate any steps toward transition. But in the case of James, this hasn’t happened.”
