I met Jeff Younger a few years ago and became friends. He told me about his divorce, twin sons and a little about his concerns for his son James. As time went by things progressed and Jeff’s ex-wife began not only dressing James as a girl at home, but began to call him by the name Luna, began taking him to therapy with a self-proclaiming gender transition therapist and enrolled him in school as a “girl”. When our kids finally met, they hit it off immediately and became the best of friends. Our 3 boys are 10, 7, and 4. They jumped in immediately and became like a part of the family. As our lives became more intertwined with these children, who are our children’s closest and dearest friends- we realized that we could not stand by while this was happening to this family. The Younger family is dear to me and my wife and I would do anything to help save James.
