ICYMI: James Younger Defies Mother, Chooses to Attend School as a Boy (Which He Factually Is);
Mother Files to Compel Judge to Recuse Herself

Damnit, I meant to hold this story over for publishing today. Instead I accidentally posted it and then stomped on it last night, not realizing I had published it.

What a boomer.

So anyway: Some of you may have missed it, and I'm reposting it for a bit.

Good news?

James Younger, a 7-year-old boy whose gender transition case made national headlines, has apparently decided to attend school as a boy.

The Save James Facebook group, which is reportedly run by friends of the family, on Monday posted photos of James and his twin brother, Jude Younger, purportedly on their way to school and, a day earlier, to church. Both of the brothers are dressed as boys.

"This is what it looks like when JAMES gets to choose," the captions reads. "James and Jude proud to be men!"

...

The mother, Anne Georgulas, has insisted that James is transgender and has overseen his transition to female. Georgulas enrolled James in school under the name Luna and staff treat him as female, including allowing him to use the girls' restroom.

The mother is pretty determined to make a girl out of a boy, and filed a motion for the judge to recuse herself from the case. The judge had previously overridden an absurd jury decision and awarded the father joint conservatorship over medical decisions regardin the boy.

The child’s mother, Anne Georgulas, filed a motion Tuesday asking that Dallas Judge Kim Cooks recuse herself from the custody battle being waged by the boy’s father, James Younger.

Georgulas is seeking legal confirmation of a jury verdict grant her sole custody of the child and wants Cooks, the judge in the original case, replaced because despite the jury’s recommendation Cooks granted joint custody.

The mother is claiming that, despite the judge imposing a gag order over the case, the judge herself shared a story about the case on FaceBook.

It's generally a bad idea to antagonize a judge, even one who is plainly against you. Either the mother is getting bad legal advice or ignoring good legal advice.

Here's a video the father posted a while ago, featuring a three year old James saying "mommy tells me I'm a girl."
