An anonymous 13-year-old trans girl from Queensland, Australia won a court case to allow her to take puberty blockers with only one parent’s consent, making her the first trans child in the region to have done so.
According to Daily Mail Australia, the Supreme Court was told both the mother and daughter consented to the treatment, but the father had not.
Justice Ann Lyons ruled they were sure the child had gender dysphoria and urgently needed to access the treatment for their wellbeing.
The mother appealed to the court last year for an order of consent to urgently commence her daughter’s treatment without the father giving his approval.
