    A Hamilton County, Ohio, judge took a transgender teen away from her parents on Friday because they refused to allow the 17-year-old to undergo hormone treatments as part of a female-to-male transition.

    Judge Sylvia Sieve Hendon awarded custody of the teenager to her grandparents, who will be allowed to make medical decisions for the minor and legally change her name.

    The parents objected to the transition procedures because of their religious beliefs and refused to call their daughter by her chosen, male name, court records show.

    “It is unfortunate that this case required resolution by the Court as the family would have been best served if this could have been settled within the family after all parties had ample exposure to the reality of the fact that the child truly may be gender-nonconforming and has a legitimate right to pursue life with a different gender identity than the one assigned at birth,” Judge Hendon wrote in her decision.

    Well, seeing that recently there were two boys dressed in drag who posed with two naked male drag queens(separate incidences BTW), and they were lauded, nothing else surprises me these days.

    Hamilton County is more or less Cincinnati or that area. Not too good on Ohio geography as I seldom go east.

    These chemicals and surgeries given to minors are Mengelian and a disgrace to any modern country. How backward can we be?

    Psalms 96:5 (KJV) For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

    Genesis 1:27 (KJV) So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

    I don't even know what to say. I can't imagine that extreme action would be off the table if I was that father.

    I can't say that I care. I would kick my kid out if they went queer so it really wouldn't matter.

    How does the government have the power to order these Menglelian experiments on minors? What kind of perverts are licensed by the government? Shouldn't we apologize to Germany?
