Harrison Tinsley, now has full custody of his 4-year-old son, Sawyer, after a long legal battle prompted by his ex-girlfriend’s efforts to raise the boy nonbinary.
“I know he's a boy,” says Tinsley. “He wants to be a boy. He adamantly expresses that. If you say anything to the contrary, he gets very upset, and it's just insane that people, any person, would push this ideology onto a child, as opposed to just [allowing them to] be happy with who they are.”
After reaching a settlement granting Tinsley full physical custody of his son, the father said he felt like he was “watching a miracle.”
In a state like California, which recently passed a bill allowing schools to keep knowledge from parents related to the gender transition of minors, it's easy to see why Tinsley views his victory as a “miracle.”
“It definitely is a pretty wonderful feeling to fight for something so hard and to actually achieve it,” Tinsley says, adding, “I just want to help more people protect children. I want to protect more kids. I think it's the battle of our lifetime.”
Due to an “incident,” which Tinsley did not describe in any detail, Child Protective Services in San Francisco got involved and “put politics aside and did what they felt was best for the child,” the father explains.
Tinsley joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how his son is doing today and what message he would share with other parents facing similar situations.
