USA - Transgender activists are lobbying the courts to achieve their goal of removing children from the homes of parents who refuse to affirm their child’s new, self-proclaimed gender identity. Like many other left-wing political identities whose ideology is unpopular with most Americans, transgender activists have been using the courts as a means to legally take gender-confused children away from parents who will not allow hormone treatments to begin transition to the opposite sex. Transgender activists have a “plan,” wrote senior contributor Margot Cleveland in a report at the Federalist. “Use the government to force parents to affirm a false sex for their child, agree to hormone blockers, and accept a transition to their son or daughter’s preferred gender,” she explained. “If parents refuse? Removal of the child from the family, due to alleged medical neglect.”
