'My Child Is a Girl': Chicago Mom Tearfully Tells Story of Losing Custody of Teen Daughter for Denying She's Trans

Tré Goins-Phillips : Aug 1, 2022  Faithwire.com

"They want me to have a certain understanding that there is such a thing as a child who is born transgender and this is who they are. I don't believe that. My child is a girl. I won't lie to her or anyone else. I think that's good parenting."

Since 2019, Jeannette Cooper's then-12-year-old daughter Sophia has identified as a transgender male—a decision she announced when she arrived at her father's house, unbeknownst to her mother.

Sophia's father soon thereafter alleged during a court hearing his young daughter was "no longer mentally or emotionally safe" while in her mother's custody. Prior to that, Cooper had custody of their daughter six days and seven nights a week, according to the Independent Women's Forum.

"They want me to have a certain understanding that there is such a thing as a child who is born transgender and this is who they are," Cooper continued. "I don't believe that. My child is a girl. I won't lie to her or anyone else. I think that's good parenting." (Screengrab image)

Cooper—who identifies as a "radical feminist" and has voted for Democrats since she was 18 years old—is rejecting the left's view that a child can be transgender and that affirming his or her identity is the only correct action for a parent to take.

"It is unfortunate that we are teaching children that a word will cause them to commit suicide," she said. "That is not how suicide works. We know that children who are depressed, anxious, autistic, have a history of childhood trauma are more likely to kill themselves, are more likely to..."
