The Texas attorney general will probe the wildly controversial case of a 7-year-old child’s forced gender transition, the state’s governor said this week.

Gov. Greg Abbot said Wednesday that state agencies would look into the matter after a Dallas jury ruled against divorced father Jeffrey Younger’s petition for sole custody of his twin sons to stop one of the boys from undergoing the transition.

“FYI the matter of 7 year old James Younger is being looked into by the Texas Attorney General’s Office and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services,” the Republican governor said in a tweet.

Jeffrey Younger has been locked in the custody battle with his ex-wife, pediatrician Anne Georgulas, who claims their son James prefers to be identified as a girl named “Luna” and has pushed for him to begin hormone replacement therapy, The Texan reported.

Other Republican leaders also weighed in on the family conflict over whether the child should begin the gender transition process.

“A 7-year-old child doesn’t have the maturity to make profound decisions like this,” Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted. “The state of Texas should protect this child’s right to choose — as an informed, mature person — and not be used as a pawn in a left-wing political agenda.”

The attorney general’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
