Abstract

In 2020, the United Kingdom’s Divisional Court made international headlines for their decision in Bell v Tavistock (2020). The Divisional Court determined court approval was required before trans and gender diverse youth could commence hormonal treatment to block the progression of puberty according to biological sex assigned at birth; such treatment is an initial stage of medical treatment for gender dysphoria.
