A Texas jury has ruled against a dad there who was seeking custody of his seven year old son as he tries to keep the boy from transitioning his gender.
Jeffrey Younger's custody petition for little James to keep him from starting hormone replacement therapy was denied by a panel of his peers.
The boy's mom says James is transgender and likes wearing dresses and prefers to be called 'Luna.'
Jeffrey Younger believes James' desires are not his own but rather those of his mother.
Hormone therapy can cause health problems down the road including infertility and blood clots.
