A Chicago mother is warning parents how gender ideology has become the latest weapon in parental custody battles.
Friend,
Jeannette Cooper never imagined she would lose custody of her daughter, Sophia. The 44-year-old lifelong educator always considered herself a loving and responsible mother. When at age 12 Sophia suddenly claimed to be transgender, Jeannette was skeptical.
Sophia had never exhibited signs of gender dysphoria. But Sophia insisted, not only that she was trans, but that she was ‘unsafe’ around Jeannette.
What followed was an almost Kafkaesque series of court proceedings and therapy sessions. Jeannette’s ex-husband, lawyers, therapists, and others supposedly concerned with Sophia’s best interests worked to erode Jeannette’s most basic parenting rights.
Nearly three years later, Jeannette can’t even visit with the daughter she loves. She lives less than 10 minutes away but can only communicate with Sophia by U.S. Mail.
Ready to tell her raw story, Jeannette is speaking out to warn parents how gender ideology has become the latest weapon in parental custody battles, severing one of the most fundamental bonds in life under the guise of protecting children.
