Notably, in 2019, Abbott tweeted that the state would be looking into the case concerning James. But according to Younger, Abbott \u201chasn\u2019t said or done a thing about my son\u2019s case\u201d since publishing the tweet.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing a contrast, Huffines vowed to outlaw the medical \u201ctransition\u201d of children in the state of Texas if elected governor. \u201cTransitionary therapy and genital mutilation surgery on children is legal in Texas,\u201d Huffines captioned the ad. \u201cThis is absurd, and when I am governor we will put an end to all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Younger explains that he and his ex-wife Dr. Anne Georgulas have been legally battling over James.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live in Texas. My ex-wife has been trying to sexually transition my son since the age of three. She wants him to be a girl. I\u2019m fighting for my son\u2019s life because our politicians refuse to ban the barbaric practice of transition therapy, puberty blockers, and even genital mutilation surgery on kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo years ago, after receiving a massive amount of pressure about his silence on this abuse, Greg Abbott tweeted this,\u201d Younger blasted Abbott, showing the tweet (see below).&nbsp;\u201cSince that tweet, Abbott hasn\u2019t said or done a thing about my son\u2019s case. Last week, Republicans even killed legislation that would ban sex change surgeries on children right here in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October 2019, Abbott, in the tweet referenced by Younger, wrote: \u201cFYI the matter of 7 year old James Younger is being looked into by the Texas Attorney General\u2019s Office and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. #JamesYounger.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.8502202643172\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FYI the matter of 7 year old James Younger is being looked into by the Texas Attorney General\u2019s Office and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JamesYounger?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#JamesYounger<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregAbbott_TX\/status\/1187156266449330176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 23, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Younger said Abbott\u2019s \u201csilence and inaction is&nbsp;endangering Texas children\u201d and thanked Huffines for standing with him from \u201cthe beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs governor, I will end the barbaric practice of these abusive therapies on two year olds and the mutilation of Texas children will come to the end,\u201d Huffines closed the ad. \u201cWe are out of time. No more excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2019, a jury ruled against a request from Mr. Younger to have sole conservatorship over James and his twin brother Jude, thereby&nbsp;allowing Dr. Anne Georgulas, the&nbsp;boy\u2019s mother and Younger\u2019s ex-wife, to continue to facilitate the child\u2019s gender transition. A judge later ruled that the pair would have joint guardianship over James.<\/p>\n<p>In testimony from Georgulas in July, the mother admitted that James, if he \u201cpersists\u201d in being a \u201cgirl\u201d named \u201cLuna,\u201d will be <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmandaPresto\/status\/1186955355647070208\">evaluated<\/a> for hormone suppressants as young as age eight.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to podcast host Luke Macias in January 2019, Younger detailed his ex-wife dressing up his son as a girl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want you to imagine having electronic communication with your son on FaceTime, and imagine that your ex-wife has dressed him as a drag queen to talk to you,\u201d Younger said on&nbsp;an episode of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/lukemacias.com\/afathersfight\/\">The Luke Macias Show<\/a>.\u201d \u201cHe has false eyelashes and makeup.

According to Younger, however, James consistently chooses to wear boy\u2019s clothes, \u201cviolently refuses to wear girl\u2019s clothes at my home,\u201d and identifies as a boy whenever he is around him.<\/p>\n<p>James\u2019 mother has accused Younger of child abuse in their divorce proceedings \u201cfor not affirming James as transgender,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2018\/11\/26\/mom-dresses-six-year-old-son-girl-threatens-dad-losing-son-disagreeing\/\">The Federalist<\/a>&nbsp;reported.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.3185840707965\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Transitionary therapy and genital mutilation surgery on children is legal in Texas.
