A Swiss court has ruled that a couple who was forcibly separated from their teenage daughter in Switzerland because they objected to her undergoing transgender surgery must supply the documents she needs to facilitate a legal sex change.
The parents, who responded to their daughter’s mental health struggles by proving her with mental healthcare and are being unfairly targeted by the government, are appealing the order and seeking the reinstatement of their parental rights and a reunion with their daughter.
The girl, who is now 16, has been separated from her parents for more than a year via court order. She has been living in a government youth shelter, and their access to her is regulated by the government.
Her father stated: “We are deeply saddened that this nightmare situation continues. Not only has the state separated us from our daughter because we objected to her ‘transition’, but we are now being threatened with criminal charges if we do not aid in her ‘legal transition’ by handing over legal documents.”
In other words, the authorities kidnapped a child and are threatening to toss her parents in jail simply because they are looking out for her health by opposing transgender mutilation. A legal transition would pave the way for medical interventions that cannot be undone, such as mutilating surgery and the use of cross-sex hormones.
The parents explained in a video, which has since gone viral and attracted more than a million views, how their daughter told them near the end of the pandemic that she thought she was a boy. Acknowledging that she had been “going through a difficult period in her life,” they agreed to discuss the matter with doctors.
They said that a nurse at a Geneva hospital presented her with a “gender unicorn” that they used to determine that she should be treated as a boy by the hospital. They were informed that she needed to take puberty blockers; her parents opted to seek mental healthcare instead. However, her school also got in on the act, with teachers and administrators beginning to call her by a male name.
“We were very clear with the school, that we did not believe it was up to the school to socially transition our daughter. We learned that the school psychologist was getting in and was feeding my daughter with materials, putting her in contact with Le Refuge."
The transgender advocacy organization Le Refuge not only cheered the girl along in her quest but also convinced her that a psychotherapist she had been seeing was “transphobic” and that she should end treatment.
The Swiss Child Protection agency then brought a case against the girl’s parents in the Swiss court system with support from her school.
Girl's parents are only trying to protect her
Her parents said they “can’t believe we live in a society where your child can be taken away from you simply for trying to protect her. We want our daughter back home. We love her and we miss her.”
The video attracted the attention of Tesla and X owner Elon Musk, who noted: “Same thing is happening in California.”
It’s horrifying that the government is insisting it is acting in the girl’s best interests by separating her from her loving parents at a crucial time in her development, setting her up for a lifetime of treatment with drugs and mutilation that is completely irreversible and may render her infertile.
A lawyer for the girl’s family, Dr. Felix Boellmann of the Alliance Defending Freedom, stated: “No society can claim to be free if parents can lose their daughter solely for affirming biological reality.”
