James doesn’t meet the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria. This was explained to the Custody Evaluator, Dr. Benjamin Albritton.

American psychologists use the DSM-V manual to help diagnose gender dysphoria in children. The book provides eight criteria for diagnosing children. The DSM-V requires that at least six of the diagnostic criteria be met along with significant impairment. However, James meets none of the criteria and has no impairment. He functions perfectly well as a boy at his father’s home.

American pediatricians use an abbreviated diagnostic standard for referral to psychiatric evaluation: Is the child insistent, consistent, and persistent in identifying as the opposite sex? James is not insistent: he refuses a female identity at his father’s home. He is not consistent: James is a boy with his father, so his gender presentation is inconsistent with how he present with his mother. He is not persistent: his gender dysphoria desists with his father.

Here’s a breakdown of each diagnostic criteria and why James doesn’t meet the standard.

1. The scientific evidence shows that people are not born trapped in a body of the wrong sex. Identical twin studies prove there is no biological or innate basis for the most fundamental claim made by transgender child abuse advocates.
2. Almost all gender-confused children grow out of it by adulthood. Affirming a child’s gender confusion increases the severity and duration of the gender confusion.
3. Treatments for childhood gender confusion are not proven safe. They are off-label, experimental protocols on innocent children.

This afternoon’s court date has been cancelled. Ms. Georgulas’ legal team cancelled just this morning in apparent realization that their motion to close further court documents and proceedings would not be honored as presented. 

There will still be further negotiations between legal teams behind the scenes as this battle continues, but this is EXCELLENT news! 

The public has been heard! Thanks to your vocal support via social media, the petition, and letters to local and state legislators the Judge was made aware that the public has a vested interest in this case.

We are working together to Save James – Save Thousands of Children!

Please continue to share – more updates to follow.

Behavioral and emotional problems and depressive symptoms decreased, while general functioning improved significantly during puberty suppression. Feelings of anxiety and anger did not change between T0 and T1. While changes over time were equal for both sexes, compared with natal males, natal females were older when they started puberty suppression and showed more problem behavior at both T0 and T1. Gender dysphoria and body satisfaction did not change between T0 and T1.

No adolescent withdrew from puberty suppression, and all started cross-sex hormone treatment, the first step of actual gender reassignment.

Vries, Annelou L.C. de, Thomas D. Steensma, Theo A.H. Doreleijers, and Peggy T. Cohen‐Kettenis. “Puberty Suppression in Adolescents With Gender Identity Disorder: A Prospective Follow‐Up Study.” The Journal of Sexual Medicine, no. 8 (August 2011): 2276–83. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1743-6109.2010.01943.x.

The transgender therapy advocates claim this is a vindication of their diagnostic protocol. They claim to have a 100% success rate in predicting who is seriously gender dysphoric.

Balderdash. The study shows that the transgender therapy diagnostic protocol is a total failure. This Journal of Medicine study shows:

1. Puberty blocker chemical castration is an ineffective treatment for gender dysphoria. None of the children who who were chemically castrated got better. In fact, they got worse and moved on to surgical transition.
2. Creating a hormonal and social environment that affirms gender dysphoric feelings causes children to remain gender dysphoric. Puberty blocker chemical castration is not a treatment. It’s operant conditioning a child to remain in a state of gender delusion.

The Family Research Council calls chemical castration treatments Hotel Trans. You can check-in but you can never leave.

Anecdotal stories abound of puberty blockers being the first step in an inevitable march toward the transsexual life. In the only study to date following gender dysphoric children who were socially affirmed and put on puberty blockers, 100 percent of the children continued to identify as transgender, and pursued further sex-change interventions.

One. Hundred. Percent. This stands in stark contrast to gender dsyphoric children who are allowed to go through puberty naturally. The American Psychiatric Association reports that up to 97.8 percent of boys and 88 percent of girls experience an end to their sex confusion and do not end up identifying as transgender adults.

Putting kids on puberty blockers does not let them choose anything. It makes the choice for them.

Hotel Trans: Check In Any Time, But Never Leave

This is the choice  Anne Georgulas (on Facebook, on Twitter), James’ mother, wants for him. This is the path she’s chosen for James.

Don’t let it happen. Save James – Save thousands of children.

Here are Jeff and Joe on the Point of View Show. Their interview begins at the one hour mark.

“Doctors currently have no way of predicting which gender dysphoric children will persist in their gender dysphoria, and yet they are pushing the minimum age for irreversible hormone therapy and surgery as low as possible.

According to the wisdom of the day, kids experiencing gender dysphoria need to be treated affirmingly as early—and as radically—as possible. For the time being, surgery and hormone therapy have to wait until age sixteen. But before that, adolescents can be prescribed puberty blockers, and even younger children are encouraged to transition “socially,” by adopting the name, dress, and mannerisms of their preferred gender.

All of this is in spite of the fact that gender dysphoria in children sees very low rates of persistence—ranging from 2.2% to 30% in males and from 12% to 50% in females, according to the DSM-5.”

Standards Are Getting Looser, Not More Stringent

In fact, a team of international doctors affiliated with The Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, and the World Professional Association of Transgender Health—all of which are held in esteem in this field of medicine—is rewriting treatment guidelines so that a medically induced gender change may be recommended for children even younger than sixteen. 

Social Transition Is Not Harmless Either

As Eric Vilain, a geneticist and leader of the Center for Genetic Medicine Research at Children’s National Health System, points out, social transitioning is liable to influence children’s thinking. “If the children are pushed in this belief it will be much harder for them to get out of this belief because everyone will have agreed on it very, very early on,” Dr. Vilain says. It’s one thing to grow up confused about one’s gender; it’s another thing to grow up being told that one belongs to a special group of “trans kids.”
