A Swiss court ruled that the parents of a gender-confused teenage girl have to hand over documents for her legal “sex change.”
The highest court of the Swiss canton of Geneva, the Court of Justice, rejected the parents’ appeal and declared that they had to hand over the documents enabling “gender change” in the official state registry under threat of criminal charges. The court confirmed a lower court ruling.
The now-16-year-old teenage daughter has been separated from her family for over a year by Swiss authorities because the parents objected to her receiving extremely dangerous puberty blockers.
The case has sparked outrage globally. A video of the parents explaining the case has over one million views on X and drew the attention of prominent figures, including Elon Musk, who commented on the story by stating, “This is insane” and “This suicidal mind virus is spreading throughout Western Civilization.”
The father, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Christian human rights organization ADF International: “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 continued.
“The state should not have this power. If this can happen to us, it can happen to other parents. We will not give up trying to protect our daughter and will seek to appeal this decision.”
ADF International lawyer Felix Böllmann, who represents the parents in court, said, “The court has committed a grave injustice in failing to recognize the fundamental rights of these parents to care for their daughter.”
“They have every right to withhold their consent to a so-called ‘sex change,’ given the vulnerable state of the minor concerned and that such a step could pave the way for harmful and potentially irreversible physical ‘transition.’”
“The court should uphold the rights of parents acting in the best interest of their child, instead of weaponizing the law to advance dangerous ideologies that drive a wedge between parents and children and increase the likelihood of psychological and bodily harm,” Böllmann continued.
“Swiss authorities should look to what is happening in the nearby UK, where the country’s High Court has just ruled that a ban on ‘puberty blockers’ is lawful and could soon become permanent,” he noted.
“Switzerland should follow the UK’s example and ultimately restore parental rights.”
ADF International announced that the parents would seek to appeal the ruling and that they have set up a donation site where people can contribute to the parents’ legal fund.
This is insane.
God Bless this family.
I am praying for you.
