(October 25, 2019) This Friday, we have some urgent action items for you with regards to a breaking case in Texas. James Younger, a 7-year-old boy, appears
to be being forced to live as a girl by his non-biological mother. He is in danger of being chemically and possibly surgically transitioned in addition
to being forced to wear dresses, a train of craziness that began when he watched "Frozen" and liked the character Elsa. We're making available hotlines
to Governor Abbott, petitions, and generally raising awareness, which may have an effect on Judge Kim Cooks' handling of this case. More details in
this special breaking news episode of The Dr J Show.
Governor Abbott's opinion hotline is (512) 463-1782 or gov.texas.gov/contact, to reach Texas governor Greg
Abbott. The Judge handling this case is Democrat Kim Cooks of the 255th Family District Court. The hashtag for this issue is #SaveJames. Keep the heat
on!
Dr. Cretella is Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds). Her article Gender Dysphoria in Children and Suppression of Debate
was published in the 2016 summer issue of Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons. Following this, she became one of the world's most outspoken
critics of gender ideology in pediatrics. She is regularly consulted by many media news outlets.
Dr. Cretella received her medical degree in 1994 from the University Of Connecticut School Of Medicine. She completed training at the Connecticut Children’s
Medical Center in Hartford, Connecticut at the University of Virginia.
Dr. Cretella serves on the Advisory Board of the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice and is Chair of the Gender Identity Subcommittee for the Catholic Medical
Association. She is a peer reviewer for the journals, “Issues in Law and Medicine,” and the “Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.”
After 15 years of group practice in rural Connecticut and Rhode Island she left clinical practice to devote more time to family and the ACPeds. Dr. Cretella
and her husband are the proud parents of four children.
Since June 2016 Brandon has been a journalist with the Christian Post. He enjoys exploring the intersection of faith and politics and has reported
on a wide range of subjects. Earlier this year he became the host of the CP podcast. He was first inspired to break into a career in writing/journalism
while mopping floors and scrubbing toilets as a church custodian in April 2015.
In 2007 he earned a B.A. from Bridgewater College of Virginia, is a fellow of the John Jay Institute for Faith, Society, & Law, and is a graduate of
a three-year program at Bethel School of Ministry in Redding, California. He serves on the board of the Brushfires Foundation, a ministry that equips
Christian leaders to foster sexual integrity, healing, and wholeness in their churches and communities.
His most favorite thing to do in life is to sing, and in 2014 he released an EP called Song of Psalms.
