WorldNetDaily really ought to know better than to republish highly biased and shoddily written items from the wholly discredited Gateway Pundit — which recently had to settle a lawsuit accusing it of falsely defaming two Georgia election workers after a failed attempt to declare a sham bankruptcy to forestall it — but WND keeps doing it anyway. Thus, it published a Nov. 23 Gateway Pundit article by Jim Hoft:
A California judge has permanently stripped Texas father Jeffrey Younger of all parental rights to his twin sons, James and Jude, granting Younger’s ex-wife, Anne Georgulas, the authority to chemically and surgically transition their 12-year-old son, James, against his father’s wishes.
Younger, whose ex-wife, a pediatrician, began transitioning their son to a girl at just two and a half years old, has fought tooth and nail to protect his child. Despite video evidence supporting his concerns, courts in Texas and California have systematically stripped him of his parental rights.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a video of James Younger when he was only 3 years old surfaced, revealing that his mother put dresses on him and painted his fingernails when the child was just an infant!
The abuse from the mother all started because James liked a toy from the movie ‘Frozen’ meant for little girls. It is totally normal for little boys to play with girls’ toys; it does not mean they want to be castrated and ‘transition’ into girls.
This is one of several custody cases that right-wing transphobes love to misrepresent and distort — indeed, we caught the Media Research Center distorting this very case earlier this year. As the MRC did then, Hoft censored facts that make Younger look more accurately like the jerk he is: He lost custody of the twins after refusing to pay child support — not because of opposition to transitioning his child — with full custody given to the mother, and the mother has accused Younger of “emotionally abusive” behavior. Younger is also violating a court-imposed gag order by being so aggressively public about the case, posting pictures of his child online and defaming the mother.
Hoft made no attempt to get the mother’s side of the story. He also reprinted a social media post by younger complaining that “I lost all parental rights to my sons” while censoring the fact the custody was stripped because he stopped paying child support and is violating a court-imposed gag order. Hoft also offers no reason Younger’s version of events should be trusted given his clear hostility toward his ex-wife.
