A court has set aside the Queensland government's controversial freeze on puberty blockers for adolescents. In January, Queensland Health Director-General Dr David Rosengren issued a health service directive banning public doctors from prescribing puberty blockers and hormones to new child patients with gender dysphoria. The mother of a trans teenager mounted a legal challenge which was heard in the Supreme Court in Brisbane – arguing the directive was unlawful because the correct processes had not been followed. Supreme Court judge Peter Callaghan handed down his 14 page decision today in a courtroom packed with trans supporters.
