Liberty Counsel Defends Mother Against Transgender Husband
Summary: The Florida-based Liberty Counsel is defending a Christian woman who lost a child custody battle her ex-husband, a woman who had undergone a sex change to become a man.
In a bizarre legal case, the Liberty Counsel, headed by Mat Staver, is defending Linda Kantaras, a woman who lost custody of her children to her ex-transgender husband. The judge in the case ruled that "gender" is a state of mind, not a genetic reality and ruled that Kantara's religious beliefs could drive a wedge between the father and the children. The judge gave custody of the children to Michael, who is really a woman.
According to Mat Staver, the judge's ruling was badly flawed. "To accept the notion that gender is primarily psychological will create chaos and uncertainty within the law. Just as a Caucasian cannot think she is African-American, so a male cannot think he is a female. We don't perform liposuctions on anorexics. We don't condone amputating limbs from apotenmnophilias (persons who believe they have an excess limb, ... nor should we legally condone surgery as a method to change 'gender' like one changes clothes."
