Today we're joined by Harrison Tinsley, who is fighting for custody of his young son Sawyer, whose mother is raising him as "non-binary." Harrison shares his story of being denied the chance to meet Sawyer until he was over a year old, as well as his contentious custody battle for him. Currently, Harrison has half custody and spends every second of his custody time with Sawyer, choosing not to work those days. He shares about his ideological differences with his son's mother, which he never imagined would become such a big issue. Now Sawyer's mother is raising him "non-binary" and posting on social media about his supposed "gender identity," when in reality, Sawyer has expressed that he is, in fact, a boy. This, along with the mother's concerning multiple mental health problems and a previous safety incident, led Harrison to file for full custody, which he was denied. Harrison claims his son knows he's a boy and wants to be a boy, and Harrison is fighting to keep him safe and happy with who he is.
