Help Trans Daughter #hernameisBella

I am a single mom of a transgender daughter.  I am trying to fight for full custody of her because her father is trying to force her to be a boy.  He is a "Christian" who believes that it is against the bible to be Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender.  He has made it clear that my daughter, Bella, will not be allowed to wear girls clothes when she is with him, will not be allowed to go by Bella.  He refuses to refer to her as a girl no matter how much it hurts her.  Numerous times she has been driven to tears because he refuses.  When she goes to see him in the summers, he and his mother force her to go to church and pray and tell her not to tell me.  Her dad tells her I'm evil and going to hell because I'm gay.  He told Bella that it's wrong for boys to want to be girls and it's against the bible.  I am tired of seeing my child have her heart broken.  She is scared to be with him, and is afraid he will make her be a boy.  He was physically abusive towards me throughout our entire marriage, even hitting me in front of her.  I'm afraid he will resort to conversion therapy or even physical abuse to make her be a boy.

I want to take him to court and go for full custody of her, taking away his parental rights.  I've been her full time mom since the day she was born, and he has only been a part of her life for half of it.  He's made it very clear that he will not allow her to be a girl and he will not listen to anyone other than the christian counselors and pastors who feel the same way about LGBT people.  
I fear for the safety and happiness of my child.  I've watched her go from a miserable boy, telling me constantly how much he hated himself, hitting biting and scratching himself, to a beautiful bright eyed girl.  She is now in the advanced program at her school, has many friends, and is constantly telling me how happy she is.  
I love my daughter more than anything. 

I am asking for people to please help me protect my beautiful daughter!
