The Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) approved on Tuesday (8) a resolution that bans the use of hormone blockers for gender transition in children and adolescents, and raises the minimum age from 18 to 21 for undergoing gender transition surgeries that have a sterilizing effect —that is, which affect reproductive capacity.
The ban on prescribing hormone blockers does not apply to cases of early puberty or other endocrine disorders, only to those involving minors who wish to transition.
