💨 Abstract

Parents of a 17-year-old are challenging their child's decision to undergo hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to affirm her gender identity. The teen, born male but identifying as female, began HRT after forging her mother's signature. The parents argue that the child lacks the mental capacity for this decision and fear psychiatric harm. The case, backed by the child's GP, is unusual and involves a separate judicial review of the GP's role.
