BIG WIN: Dad RESCUES son from ‘nonbinary lesbian’ mother



In a massive blow to the radical gender movement, California dad and parents’ rights activist Harrison Tinsley has won full custody of his son, Sawyer.

The battle began when his ex-girlfriend became pregnant with his child and set out to raise the little boy as a girl — despite the boy correctly insisting that he was a boy.

“She took him to Disneyland, he told me, ‘Dad I couldn’t go on the rides unless I wore my princess shoes. I didn’t want to wear my princess shoes, I wanted to wear boys shoes,’” Tinsley tells Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“There was some pretty serious coercion or whatever you want to call it going on,” he continues. “Sawyer’s always said ‘I’m a boy,’ he’ll fight you if you say anything to the contrary, if you say he’s girly in any way, he’ll yell at you.”

“Why are we trying to confuse kids on the most basic, beautiful thing about life?” he adds.

Tinsley had filed for full custody of Sawyer in 2023 after his ex-girlfriend, who apparently identifies as a nonbinary lesbian now, was arrested on felony child endangerment charges.

Tinsley originally lost, but he appealed the decision and hoped to win that one on merit as well as set case law for parents moving forward.

However, he ended up winning custody through an entirely different means.

“I’m literally just laying in bed one day, and I had a bunch of missed calls, and it was the San Francisco police, so I call them back and they’re like ‘Oh you need to pick up your son.’ So I go pick him up, and I find out there was another violent incident,” Tinsley explains.

This is when he found out his ex-girlfriend had gotten into a physical altercation with one of her dads — she was adopted by two men in San Francisco — and ended up involving Sawyer by allegedly telling him to hit her father with a baseball bat.

“What adult, or even person, parent, any human being, wouldn’t tell a 4-year-old to just run away in that scenario,” Tinsley says. However, when he filed an ex parte after this incident to get Sawyer in his custody — the court denied it.

“I do want to get one thing clear, so this, the reason that you have full custody stems from a CPS complaint,” Gonzales says, adding, “We still need to fix the court system because we’re talking about felony child endangerment, we’re talking about, I am sure, pages and pages and photos and videos and all this documentation that you provided the court, and they still denied you.”

After his ex parte was denied, Child Protective Services was still skeptical of Sawyer’s mother and did a thorough investigation — which finally resulted in Tinsley being granted full physical custody.

“It was divine that I got the CPS workers I did, ‘cause they really put politics aside. I mean, this is San Francisco, California. The two people I got seem to really care about children more than they cared about politics,” Tinsley says, adding, “I just feel so lucky and grateful.”

Dad awarded full custody of son whose mother tries to raise him 'non-binary' celebrates major victory with Allie Beth Stuckey



A California man professes to be "ecstatic" after he was awarded full custody of his son, Sawyer, whose mother has attempted to raise him as "non-binary." In his first interview since being granted full custody, the proud dad sits down with BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey to share the details of his tumultuous journey and to give encouragement to others in a similar situation.

Several years ago, Harrison Tinsley had a brief relationship with a woman in the Bay Area. Soon after meeting, the two conceived a child together, a boy named Sawyer. However, the boy's mother, who reportedly has serious mental health diagnoses, quickly detached herself from Tinsley. In fact, Tinsley did not meet his son until the boy was more than a year old.

Shockingly, she may have conscripted Sawyer into engaging in the fight with her father, as Sawyer apparently struck his grandfather in the face with a plastic object. Sawyer told Tinsley he had done so at his mother's request.

Tinsley spent the first several years of Sawyer's life fighting to gain full custody of his son, even as the courts stubbornly kept custody evenly split between Sawyer's two parents. Last fall, Tinsley shared with Stuckey his heartbreaking frustration as he endured having just "half-custody" of Sawyer.

Little did Tinsley know that his prospects would soon change.

Last week, less than a year since his first interview with Stuckey, Tinsley was awarded fully custody of Sawyer, who is now 4 and a half. On Thursday's episode of "Relatable," Tinsley speaks with Stuckey once again to celebrate this major victory.

"It's, like, an absolute miracle, dream come true," Tinsley said.

Tinsley went on to explain that he has "full physical custody," which means Sawyer lives with Tinsley, while Sawyer's mother has "a couple of visits per week." Though future legal battles remain a very real possibility, Tinsley is thrilled that he gets to have Sawyer full-time while Sawyer maintains a relationship with his mother.

"As far as legal custody goes, we essentially have to discuss things," Tinsley explained. "But at the end of the day, if we don't agree, I have the final say."

Stuckey expressed admiration for Tinsley's unwavering devotion to his son. "It's a big sacrifice," she noted. "It took you a lot of time, a lot of effort, a lot of financial resources, and you did it because your son was worth it to you."

While Tinsley has done his best to provide a stable, healthy environment for his son, Sawyer's mother's mental health struggles seem to have continued. Not only does she still use they/them pronouns in reference to Sawyer, but she has even had several arrests, including after a physical altercation with her father.

Shockingly, she may have conscripted Sawyer into engaging in that fight, as Sawyer apparently struck his grandfather in the face with a plastic object. Sawyer told Tinsley he had done so at his mother's request, though she denied that.

"The mother claims that he did it just in her honor without her saying anything," Tinsley recalled to Stuckey. "I tend to believe Sawyer."

Tinsley and Stuckey also discussed the far-left political climate of the Bay Area and California in general. Tinsley has recently become an advocate for parental rights in his state even as LGBTQ radicals recently passed legislation allowing schools to keep children's so-called gender transitions a secret.

Tinsley called Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom "a horrible person" and a bad leader, but he claimed that those at the local level mainly work for the best interest of children, regardless of politics.

"CPS in San Francisco ... should be commended," Tinsley said. "They did their job, politics aside. ... They put all that aside and did their job and did what's best for Sawyer."

Tinsley also wanted to encourage others facing a similar custody or other legal battle. "Don't give up, no matter what. No matter how hard it feels, no matter how discouraged you feel," he insisted. "You got to keep going and find a way to keep moving forward. That's what life's about. It's always darkest just before the dawn."

"You never know what will happen. Just do everything you can. And even if you were to fail, you'll feel much better about having tried so hard than if you didn't."

The entire interview with Tinsley will be aired on YouTube and BlazeTV on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. ET. To enjoy that and other original content like it, click here to become a subscriber.

Dad fights to save his 3-year-old son from 'NON-BINARY' life forced upon him by mother



Harrison Tinsley was so excited when he found out he was going to be a dad. His story started in the same way many do – he met a girl, they fell in love, and a baby was soon on the way.

But a nightmare was waiting around the corner.

A few months into pregnancy, the mother of Harrison’s child became hostile toward him when he wouldn’t bend to her political ideology. The two had always been on opposite ends of the political spectrum, but until pregnancy, it had never been an issue.

“I was constantly getting threatened that I wouldn’t see my son if I wasn’t exactly who she wanted me to be, particularly in a political sense,” Harrison tells Allie Beth Stuckey.

“I’m not changing who I am; I’m going to love my son no matter what, and there’s no reason that we have to agree on everything to have a beautiful family,” he continues.

But clearly, the mother didn’t concur.

Their relationship ended, a cease-and-desist letter was issued to Harrison, all communication was cut off, and he was effectively barred from seeing his son.

Shortly after his son’s birth, however, he went to court to establish paternity, visitation, and custody, but the process took months, and by the time Harrison met his son, the boy was fifteen months old.

“Unspeakable heartbreak … it’s like a part of you is just gone that should be there,” he tells Allie.

Fortunately, however, Harrison was able to win half custody and begin making up for lost time with his son.

But then another nightmare reared its ugly head.

Harrison is now fighting for full custody of his son for a number of reasons, the main one being that the child’s mother is raising him as non-binary.

“She would post pictures of him in dresses and makeup,” he says.

But that’s just the beginning.

“There’s defamation of me on social media,” says Harrison – specifically claims that he was abusive during their relationship.

“Which was completely untrue, and I’ve proven that to be untrue in court,” he says.

Then Harrison discovered that his son’s mother was placed on a 5150, which is an involuntary psychiatric hold, for an incident involving head trauma.

“There’s the defamation of me, there’s the gender stuff,” and then “mom was arrested for child endangerment.”

“It was extremely, extremely scary,” he tells Allie.

A trial was held, and to Harrison’s dismay, the court ruled to keep custody the same.

“My son had to continue to see the doctor that the mom preferred, which is a doctor” who believes “it’s okay to treat kids as non-binary,” he explains.

But Harrison isn’t one to give up without a fight.

“If they’re not gonna’ protect my son, I am,” he says, “so I decided I’m gonna scream it from the rooftops and tell as many people … what’s going on and try to get support that way, and I’m appealing the court’s decision to a higher court.”

“That’s where I’m at now. … I’m just speaking out, and it’s now become more than just protecting Sawyer; it’s also about protecting all kids.”
