Harrison Tinsley, a father from Virginia, is fighting for custody of his son after his ex-wife, who is transgender, began the process of transitioning their son, without Tinsley's knowledge or consent.
Tinsley's ex-wife, who identifies as a man, had initially agreed to the use of a nickname that Tinsley had given their son, but later changed her mind and began insisting on using a new name, declaring their child to be transgender, and seeking to force him permanently into a gender transition.
Tinsley objected to his ex-wife's actions and began fighting for custody, saying that he had been denied parental rights and had been prevented from being involved in decisions related to their son's health and welfare.
The legal battle has been intense, with Tinsley's ex-wife arguing that their son is transgender and that Tinsley is unsupportive of their child's identity. Meanwhile, Tinsley has insisted that his child is not transgender, and has criticized his ex-wife for making unilateral decisions about their son without his input or consent.
Tinsley's case has drawn scrutiny from family rights activists who argue that parents who transition their children without consent or input from the other parent are violating their parental rights and the best interests of the child. Activists also argue that children who are too young to understand gender identity development should not be subject to gender identity transitions without proper counseling and input from both parents.
Harrison Tinsley's legal battle highlights the difficult issues surrounding transgender rights and custody. According to the father, his son Sawyer insists that he is a boy and the only one trying to question his gender is the mother. Custody battles like this are very often high conflict and cost lots of money. We will have Harrison on our show this Thursday to speak more.
