Another Swiss case included Regarding a couple whose daughter is in government custody over a similar issue, the Free Speech Union reported on July 21:
In Switzerland, close to the UK, where sex-change therapy is banned in some cantons, it recently emerged that a Swiss couple are taking legal action to regain custody of their daughter, who has been in state custody for over a year after she refused to consent to “sex-change” treatment involving puberty-suppressing drugs and contested a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.
The couple, who have been separated from their daughter since April last year for not conforming to gender identity ideology, are now trying to bring her home and are receiving support from Christian legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom.
Notably, in the administration of President Joe Biden, Sam Brinton, an “openly genderfluid” former senior Energy Department official, has led the lobbying effort to block “conversion therapy,” which essentially denies parents the legal right to refuse their children puberty-suppressing drugs and other similar treatments.
Breitbart News recently reported that Brinton “will undergo mental health treatment to resolve a theft charge for stealing a woman’s luggage.”
Meanwhile, Breitbart News reported that in January a coalition of states asked the U.S. Supreme Court to recognize parents’ rights regarding gender reassignment policies that may affect their children.
