新西兰高等法院以缺乏证据和不适当协商为由, 阻止政府禁止青少年进入青春期。 New Zealand’s High Court blocked the government’s ban on puberty blockers for trans youth, citing lack of evidence and improper consultation.

新西兰高等法院于2025年12月终止了政府禁止对变性青年处死青春期阻塞者的规定, In December 2025, New Zealand’s High Court halted the government’s ban on prescribing puberty blockers to transgender youth, ruling the decision unlawful due to insufficient evidence and lack of proper consultation. 法院强调,医疗决定应由病人、家庭和医疗保健提供者作出,而不是政治议程。 The court emphasized that medical decisions should rest with patients, families, and healthcare providers, not political agendas. 这项裁决是在奥特亚罗亚跨性别保健专业协会以伦理问题和护理中断为由对禁令提出质疑之后作出的。 The ruling came after the Professional Association for Transgender Healthcare Aotearoa challenged the ban, citing ethical concerns and disrupted care. 政府援引的关于长期影响的证据有限,但法院认定没有紧急医疗风险,强调需要基于证据的政策和紧急审查。 The government had cited limited evidence on long-term effects, but the court found no urgent medical risk, stressing the need for evidence-based policy and urgent review.
