Father fights custody battle after son's secret gender transition revealed

Father loses custody of son in legal battle over secret transition.

In a recent exclusive interview, a father named Dennis Hannon shared his heartbreaking story of losing custody of his son after a lengthy legal battle to prevent his ex-wife from secretly transitioning him. Hannon revealed that when his son, Matthew, was just three years old, his ex-wife started dressing him in girls' clothes. However, whenever Hannon picked him up for visitation, Matthew would be back in boys' clothes. All of this was hidden from Hannon until he accidentally discovered a letter from the school addressed to the parents of 'Ruby Rose Hannon,' revealing that Matthew had been socially transitioned and only identified as female at school.

Hannon recounted that around the age of four or five, a gender therapist suggested that Matthew should return when he turned nine to start puberty blockers. This recommendation was made in 2020. What puzzled Hannon and many others was the fact that Matthew was never diagnosed with gender dysphoria, yet a treatment plan was already in place even before a formal diagnosis. Hannon expressed his confusion about why the mother had the sole decision-making power, especially when both parents had conflicting views on such an important and life-changing matter.
