An Indiana couple lost custody of their son when they refused to support his gender transition. The state of Indiana took away their gender confused child because they denied that a child should be able to transcend their biology. A spokesperson for Indiana Child Services argued, “We just feel at this point in time this child needs to be in a home that’s not going to … tell her how she should think and how she should feel.” As a result, their son was placed in a foster home that treated him according to his perceived gender identity. The state also placed strict limits on his parents’ visits. It’s alarming when the government removes a child from a home and punishes parents for teaching their children truths that conform to reality. The parents are appealing their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
