The Brazilian authorities are clearly well ahead of their counterparts in Australia in terms of common sense, morality and ethics.

It’s striking that the Brazilian activist position on trans surgery is more conservative than the position under Australian law. We have mastectomies at age 15!

Bernard, I copy a part of an article translated to English from ‘Folha De S. Paulo' of April 11th 2025 that I have just come across:

'Brazil's Federal Council of Medicine Bans Hormone Blockers for Trans Children and Adolescents'

The text also raises the minimum age to 21 for undergoing gender transition surgeries with sterilising effects.

. . . . The Brazilians are clearly streets ahead of the clowns running our 'gender srevices'.

I wonder which of the major medical colleges in Australia will be first to shift?
