In this conversation, Greg interviews Harrison Tinsley, who shares his personal story of fighting for custody of his son in California. Harrison discusses the challenges he faced due to political differences with his ex-partner and the impact it had on his relationship with his son. He highlights the importance of protecting children from poisonous gender ideology and the need for fathers to have equal rights in custody battles. The conversation also touches on the broader issue of how men are treated in family courts and the imbalance of power in favor of mothers. Tinsley is actively involved in spreading awareness and advocating for change. He plans to start a nonprofit called Courage for Kids to help parents facing gender ideology weaponized against them in family court. The conversation also touches on legislation in California that keeps secrets from parents and the need for individuals to take action to protect children and fight against harmful ideologies.
