Government Seizes “Trans” Child in Montana
On January 29, feminist website Reduxx related the story of Krista and Todd Kolstad in Glasgow, Montana, whose mentally ill daughter, “Jennifer” (not her real name) — who claimed she was “non-binary” and wanted to be called “Leo” — was taken from them by the state as they would not allow her to “transition.”
The trouble began in August 2023, when the 14-year-old girl mentioned suicide in school, and was then taken to the hospital after falsely telling Montana Child and Family Services (CFS) social workers on a home visit that she had tried to commit suicide. While in the hospital, Jennifer told doctors about her “transition.” Almost immediately, hospital personnel began encouraging “gender affirming” care, and refused to honor the parents’ disciplinary beliefs, such as restricting junk food and phone and television time.
Although the Kolstads agreed to place Jennifer in a mental hospital, the authorities wanted to send her to a facility in Wyoming. “On August 22, Krista and Todd were told that Jennifer was next in line for a bed in Billings, Montana. But hours later that same day, [they] were called and informed Jennifer would be moved to Wyoming,” noted Reduxx. Worried that Wyoming would permit Jennifer to undergo surgical mutilation without their consent, the Kolstads told authorities they needed answers to some questions before agreeing. A few minutes later, though, CFS and police showed up at the Kolstad residence to remove Jennifer. She was taken to Wyoming the next day.
