Parents who want their children to take hormones to help block puberty – allowing them to later change their gender – no longer have to apply to the Family Court for permission, a landmark ruling has declared.

The parents of "Jamie", who had earlier successfully applied to the court for hormone treatment to help suppress the onset of the child's puberty, later challenged the need for the court to give final consent, arguing the decision should be left to them as parents.
