MELBOURNE (AFP) — An Australian court has allowed a 17-year-old girl who believes she is a boy to have her breasts surgically removed, it was reported.
The teenager had been on hormone treatment since age 13 to block puberty and applied to the Family Court for permission to undergo a double mastectomy to make it easier for her to pass as a boy, Fairfax newspapers reported.
