In April, Liz Truss MP, Minister for Women and Equalities, announced changes to gender law, including restricting irreversible treatments for under-18s.
She made the comments to the Women and Equalities Select Committee now that the government has analysed responses to its public consultation on the Gender Recognition Act (en September 2018). A full response will be expected by the Summer.
Currently, children under 16 usually need parental consent for sex-change medication, but Truss said she wanted to restrict access to irreversible treatments.
