Ohio parents are battling for custody of their biological daughter who claims she is transgender, identifying as a boy. The 17-year-old is currently living with her maternal grandparents and under temporary legal custody of Hamilton County Job and Family Services.

The teen claims she became suicidal over her parents’ lack of support regarding her gender identity, including refusing to call her by her new chosen name. She was first hospitalized in 2016 and has been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and gender dysphoria. The girl’s medical team claims she’s in “a possible life-or-death situation,” reports CNN.
