Arizona Couple Began ‘Transitioning’ Their Child as 1-Year-Old Boy

Editors’ Note: We admit we are not lawyers in Constitutional law, but we did hear some of the arguments before the Supreme Court and the interplay with the Justices. We do not think it went well for transactivists.  Only the Progressive women Justices seemed sympathetic. Thus, we could get a 6-3 decision upholding the Constitutionality of the law in Tennessee. Not surprisingly, the most ridiculous argument was Biden appointed Kantanji Brown, who suggested any law restricting trans surgery for minors was the same as banning interracial marriage. How she drew this conclusion from two entirely different events and between a set of adults and minors is disturbing. This gets to the heart of the problem. Fourth-wave feminism does not understand that trans activism is a mortal danger to the rights of women, and race-obsessed Justices see everything through the lens of their own racial bias. 

After the Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday [12/4] in U.S. v Skrmetti, the case that will determine whether states may ban transgender medical procedures for kids, one mother told The Daily Signal that her child began to transition as a baby.

“She knew since birth,” Michelle Callahan-DuMont said of her 10-year-old, a biological male who says he identifies as a transgender female and goes by the name “Violet.”

The family traveled from Arizona to Washington, D.C., to join the American Civil Liberty Union’s Free to Be Ourselves” rally Wednesday outside the Supreme Court.

The high court likely will rule by June on the constitutionality of a Tennessee law protecting minors from irreversible transgender medical interventions.

CNN interviewed the same family about having a so-called transgender child. What the left-leaning news outlet didn’t mention is that Callahan-DuMont and her husband began to “transition” Violet when he was toddler age, over 1 year old.

“Violet told us when she was 1 and a half,” Callahan-DuMont told The Daily Signal. “She’s been telling us since she could speak.”

In the interview with CNN correspondent Lucy Kafanov that aired, Violet said he is afraid he will be murdered on the street for identifying as transgender.

Callahan-DuMont, who appeared in the interview with Violet and four other family members, said that “it’s hard to hear her say that” before detailing the 10-year-old’s response to the results of the 2024 presidential election.

“She asked me three questions after she heard who won the election,” Callahan-DuMont said, then quoted her child. “Are we going to have to move? Are they going to take me away from you? And am I not going to be able to get my medicine?”

Former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, signed a bill banning transgender medical procedures for minors in 2022. If the Supreme Court rules that the Tennessee law doing the same thing is unconstitutional, Arizona’s law likely would be overturned as well.

Callahan-DuMont appears to have a history of publicly politicizing her child’s story. She runs Instagram and Threads account for Violet, largely focused on advocating for “trans kids.”

One Threads post urges people to vote for the Democrats’ Harris-Walz ticket “for Violet’s healthcare & safety.”

In the CNN interview, Violet said Republican messaging against transgender ideology in the 2024 election made him feel “dead inside.”

“I’ve heard politicians that say, ‘No, you have the wrong gender. You’re confused, Honey,’” Violet said. “No. Myself is a fact, not an opinion, and they don’t get to decide that for me. I get to decide that for myself.”
