Transgender and gender diverse youth need high-quality medical care just as other teenagers The Endocrine Society and a coalition of LGBTQ+ youth and reproductive health organizations argued in a joint submission to the High Court of England and Wales that transgender teenagers should be able to give informed consent to treatment the same way teenagers with other medical conditions can. The coalition submitted a written intervention as part of the appeal of Bell v Tavistock and Portman NHS Health Foundation, a case where the High Court ruled in December 2020 that adolescents younger than age 16 are not competent to give consent to treatment to delay puberty. The ruling threatens to block transgender and gender diverse teenagers from accessing the medical care they need.
