昆士兰州一位母亲在其变性孩子的青春期阻塞者被禁止后提出诉讼,由法院裁定禁令是否遵循了适当的法律程序。
A Queensland mother sues after her transgender child’s puberty blockers were banned, with court deciding if the ban followed proper legal process.
在澳大利亚昆士兰州成为第一个禁止对变性青年进行青春期阻塞的州,促使母亲代表她的孩子起诉政府之后,一个具有里程碑意义的法律挑战正在展开。
A landmark legal challenge in Queensland, Australia, is underway after the state became the first to ban puberty blockers for transgender youth, prompting a mother to sue the government on behalf of her child.
1月的禁令中止了在政府审查期间对18岁以下者的荷尔蒙治疗,法律小组认为该决定受到政治影响,未经必要咨询就作出,缺乏医疗理由。
The January ban halted hormone treatments for under-18s during a government review, with legal teams arguing the decision was politically influenced, made without required consultation, and lacked medical justification.
包括宣传团体和抗议者在内的批评者警告此举会伤害变性青年的心理健康, 而政府则认为暂停是基于临床关切和必要的尽职调查。
Critics, including advocacy groups and protesters, warn the move could harm transgender youth’s mental health, while the government maintains the pause was based on clinical concerns and necessary due diligence.
法院将裁定有关决定是否遵循了适当的法律程序,而不是根据禁令的医学实质。
The court will rule on whether the decision followed proper legal procedures, not on the medical merits of the ban.
预计下星期会做出裁决。
A ruling is expected next week.
