Todd and Krista Holstad lost custody of their daughter after they opposed a series of moves made by the state and healthcare professionals to facilitate a sex change for the minor child without their consent.
The Montana parents who lost custody of their 14-year-old daughter to the state after refusing to go along with her "gender transition" revealed in an interview with Jordan Peterson that their child was able to obtain sex change hormones through Amazon.
Todd and Krista Holstad explained that their daughter Jennifer, who now identifies as a male named Leo, obtained hormones from a friend who had ordered the drugs off of the online retail monolith.

Dr. Peterson asked, "What were the hormones and how were those purchasable on Amazon?"
Krista explained, "They are purchasable on Amazon and you don't have to prove that you're 18 or anything. You can just go in and buy them. They were female to male hormones."
The revelation comes as the gender ideology phenomenon has affected youth-aged children over the past several years, which has resulted in a historic number of minors identifying as transgender or non-binary.
This phenomenon has sparked debates across the country surrounding the ethical practice of sex changes for minors. Several Republican-run states have adopted legislation to oppose sex change procedures for minors, while Democrat-run states have enacted legislation declaring their states "sanctuary" places for minors wishing to surgically change sexes, even without parental consent.
In January, the Montana couple lost custody of their daughter after they opposed a series of moves made by the state and healthcare professionals to facilitate a sex change for the minor child without their consent. CPS took custody of their daughter, Jennifer, who was sent to live.
Krist and Todd Holstad were informed by their lawyer last month that they are subject to arrest for speaking out about the ordeal. The pair have been held in contempt of court for speaking out against the state's handling of the situation but have vowed to continue the fight.
When their story gained traction online, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte responded, calling the situation "tragic," but nonetheless maintaining that upon further review by Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras, it was determined that the Montana Department of Health and Human Services and the court "followed state policy and law."
