This is one of the most mysterious decisions of Oz court's
decisions
i have read ,so far.This is so mysterious comparable to
Oz
girl gang raped twice.Rapists jailed/probatin aft AG appeal
9 men
released aft plead guilty gang raped girl aged 10
Facts
''THE Family Court has allowed a 17-year-old girl to have
her breasts removed so she can be more like a boy.
The teenager, code-named "Alex", was on court-ordered
hormone medication from the age of 13
to prevent menstruation and breast development. She returned
to the court in December 2007 asking for a double mastectomy to
make it easier for her to pass as a boy.
The Chief Justice of the Family Court, Diana Bryant, decided
it was in the teenager's best interests to have the surgery
immediately rather than wait until turning 18.''
critisms
''But ethicist Nick Tonti-Filippini said mainstream medicine
did not recognise hormone treatments and surgery as treatment for
gender dysphoria. He said it was a psychiatric disorder qualifying
under American guidelines as a psychosis because "it's a belief out
of accordance with reality".
"What you are trying to do is make a biological reality
correspond to that false belief."''
''Mr Tonti-Filippini said he was also concerned that in
previous Family Court cases involving gender dysphoria, the medical
experts had been confined to a small group of Melbourne doctors who
work with sex changes.
Mr Tonti-Filippini said a Melbourne man who had had
sex-change surgery at 22 was now suing his doctors because he
regretted the decision and felt they had not explored his doubts at
the time.''
My
thoughts
This is a psychiatric disorder and shall not be treated by
sexual physical change.
Also,the court is too early to order
''hormone medication from the age of 13 to prevent menstruation and breast
development''.
Have they tried psychiatric and psychlogical treatment to
the girl before the ordered medication?
2.This is too early to remove breats at the age of 17.What The
judge said
is totally non--sense.
''The decision was not
irrevocable: "You can have prostheses and things. So if he changed
his mind later on, it's reversible."''
If Alex ,after the breats removed,decisde go back to live as a
girl few years later,
will any guy accept the ill fated Alex come with
prostheses?
3.Professional advices are sometimes not professional.
The court just listened to small group of doctors doing sexual
change.
Sure,There is conflict of interest .Has the court listened to
other doctors
evidences?
4.OMG!!
''Diana Bryant was appointed Chief Justice
of the Family Court of
Australia on 5 July 2004.''''
