‘Trans’ four-year-old: the innocent sacrificed by the amoral directed by the immoral?

A UK judge has green-lighted transition for a toddler.

The High Court of the United Kingdom has decreed that social services cannot remove a four-year-old boy who identifies as a girl from a couple who have let “him” transition after sending the child to school in a girl’s uniform.

The unnamed council had argued that the anonymous couple had “acted in a precipitate manner in relation to perceived gender dysphoria”. It withdrew its case in the face of glowing reports from experts about the couple’s parenting skills.

However, the couple demanded a public judgment be delivered so that there would be no “cloud of suspicion hanging over them”.

This is thought to be the first time a judge has sanctioned gender transitioning at such a young age. Mr Justice Williams praised the couple as “attuned and careful” parents who were dedicated to the welfare of their children.

Gender specialists told the judge that the child, who was named “H” in court records, behaved in a way “consistent with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria”. This expert advice “provided clinical justification” for the couple’s approach to H’s gender identity. In the judge’s opinion, “H” clearly identified as a girl and seemed to be “a content, alert and socially engaged little girl”.

No doubt this couple are good parents — if being good parents consists of dutifully following the current “trans” orthodoxy that says children know that they have been born into the wrong body, an orthodoxy now being taught to those children in school.
