The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld a teen’s right to hormone therapy to help transition to a male body from a female one.
The father’s refusal to respect his son’s decision has caused the boy “significant pain,” causing a breach in a loving parent-child relationship, Chief Justice Robert Bauman and Justice Barbara Fisher wrote. “This rupture is not in best interests. He clearly wants and needs acceptance and support from his father,” they wrote in the unanimous ruling.
The child was referred in 2018 by a psychologist to hospital to treat gender dysphoria and doctors agreed it was in the child’s best interests to proceed with hormone therapy and obtained consent from the child and his mother. In April, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Francesca Marzari issued a protection order restraining the father from publicly discussing the case after finding interviews he’d given to conservative media outlets could expose the child to violence and harassment.
“Raising the issue of family violence in the context of this case causes the parties to become increasingly polarized in their positions, thus exacerbating the conflict and raising the stakes in the litigation,” they ruled, adding it would not be in the child’s best interest.
wow thats nuts the court is being very fascist, there acknowledge that this dismorphia is a mental health issue and yet there solution is unnecessary treatments, like the biological reality doesn't actually change.
