Three years ago, the kid was separated from her parents because they refused to give their daughter puberty blockers. The kid, now 16 years old, wanted to transition into a boy. Now that the parents lost the case, the highest court in the canton of Geneva, the Court of Justice, is now ordering them to hand over the needed documents so they can submit the teenager to the alteration procedure.
The father, who had appealed the order, said: "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," he added.
He also pointed out that if this injustice can happen to them, it can also happen to other parents. "We will not give up trying to protect our daughter and will seek to appeal this decision," he further vowed.
In a viral video shared on X, formerly Twitter, the father recalled how it all started. "About three years ago, our daughter informed us that she was a boy. We understood that she was going through a difficult period in her life so we agreed to seek medical advice," he said. Then, they went to the Geneva hospital where they were instructed that they should start treating the child as a boy because of an assessment that used a 'gender unicorn' diagnostic test performed by one of their nurses.
"We were told she needed puberty blockers," the father recalled and added that soon enough, the school also got involved. Then, the teachers, administrators and everyone at school started to call the teenager 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," he further said. Le Refuge is a transgender advocacy organization, which has taken their daughter down the path of believing that she’s a boy in a girl's body. The organization also convinced the daughter that her psychotherapist was "transphobic."
Eventually, the Swiss Child Protection Agency, with the school's support, brought a case against the parents in the Swiss court system. Not only had their daughter been taken by the government they also lost tens of thousands of dollars paying legal fees. And now, they are also threatened with serving jail time.
Meanwhile, Big Tech mogul Elon Musk commented on the post sharing the father's interview with: "Same thing is happening in California." The said social media entry where Musk commented was shared by the handle Billboard Chris and now has 24.8 million views.

Musk's followers were also quick to react, with most of them saying that it is "sickening that it's spread everywhere across America when it should have never been allowed." Another one posted a meme with the copy: "Liberalism is when you think injecting cattle with hormones is evil but injecting kids with hormones to change their gender is just fine."
California Senate bans schools from notifying parents about their kids' gender identity, sexual orientation
After more than an hour of debate in which Democratic LGBTQ+ senators lamented about how they delayed coming out to their parents or were outed by someone else, the state Senate approved on August 1 the proposal that bans school districts from requiring teachers to notify parents if their child has found a new pronoun to use at school.
The proposal also bars the schools from passing or enforcing policies requiring school staff to disclose the student's gender identity or sexual orientation to their parents without the child's permission.
The lawmakers approved the legislation as they argued that gender non-conforming students should be able to come out to their families on their own terms. Meanwhile, Republicans say the state shouldn't dictate whether school districts can enforce so-called parental notification policies and that schools should be transparent with parents.
Republican Sen. Kelly Seyarto, who represents Murrieta in Southern California, said schools should increase transparency with parents by notifying them of their child's gender identification change. "If we include the parents, that's the best way to take something from people being angry and mad to developing a solution that works for everybody," he said.
Greg Burt, vice president of the conservative Christian advocacy group California Family Council also weighed in saying, "California officials shouldn't prevent all parents from being notified because of the possibility that some parents may react badly. You don't assume that all parents are unsafe. That shouldn't be the assumption."
The bill now heads to the state Assembly, where it would need to pass in committees and on the floor before it can reach the desk of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose administration is known for fighting school boards over their notification policies.
