A mother, Anmarie Calgaro has sued her 17-year-old transgender daughter in Minnesota her for undergoing a male to female gender transition without her permission.


She filed a lawsuit in November against her daughter and several agencies and health-care providers claiming her parental rights had been infringed when they helped the teen facilitate the sex-reassignment treatment without her knowledge.

Calgaro, who refers to her child as a male claims she was not consulted or informed in any way about the treatments before they started.

The teenager, identified in the lawsuit as E.J.K., lives away from her mother.  She claims Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid Clinic helped the teenager file an emancipation statement in court in June 2015, but no official legal action was taken to terminate the mother's rights.
