What would be the procedure to change a non tran's person's name at 15? Would the name change have been allowed if Bob simply wanted to become a Steve instead and the parents supported it?
Anyone who sees my posting here knows I am vehemently opposed to the trans push on minors, but this seems like legislating from the bench in the judge's case. It's legal, but he's personally opposed to it, so he side steps the law in favor of his feelings. I don't support that even if it happens to agree with my "side"
If it's a minor, you petition a judge. Usually, a judge will approve if the child's parents/guardians also approve. This particular judge is basically saying the consenting parent(s) don't have the best interests of their child at heart by consenting to his/her request.
