Mum sues her transgender daughter, 17, for getting op without her permission
A MUM has filed a lawsuit against her 17-year-old daughter after she claimed that she was receiving transgender services without her permission.
Along with her own child, Anmarie Calgaro is also suing St Louis County in Minnesota and a handful of other agencies for helping the teen to transition, reports.
"If this had been a child custody case, I would've had my day in court.
"I'm firmly committed to what is best for my son.
"I'm his mother and he has always been and always will be welcome in our home."
The lawsuit claims that state law provides no way for Calgaro to challenge the emancipation status, which is a violation of her constitutional rights.
She also alleges that her parental involvement had been “repeatedly circumvented”.
According to KMSP-TV, Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid Clinic advised the teen in 2015 that she was emancipated without a court order.
“They have a good rapport,” Kaardal said. “So in that way it’s really not a typical emancipation case.
“But the idea of the government funding him, funding medical services, just goes too far with respect to parental rights.”
