A mother of a trans teenager has successfully taken the first step in legal action against the Queensland Health Director-General over the state's freeze on puberty blockers.

The woman, whose name cannot be published to protect the identity of her daughter, has obtained an order in the Supreme Court to force Dr David Rosengren to provide her with a statement of reasons for the freeze.

In late January, Dr Rosengren approved a health service directive which banned public doctors from providing puberty blockers and hormone treatment to new gender dysphoria patients aged under 18.

When I read this I first thought that they were writing about the U.S. but then I saw the ".au" and I realized that it was Australia!

Adolescents who had already started the medications before January 28 were able to continue.

The ban has no end date but is due to be reviewed within 12 months.

In the meantime, the government has established what it described as an independent review into the evidence base for the therapies, led by former Victorian chief psychiatrist Ruth Vine. 

When Health Minister Tim Nicholls announced the sudden intervention in the medical treatment of children with gender dysphoria, he said it was necessary to "ensure that care is grounded on solid evidence".

Of course we know what they will find, they will use garbage research to base their findings to ban something that has been used since the 1970s with no problems but all of sudden because we use the same drug it has now "Become a problem!" but it is not a problem for kids with precocious puberty.

A trans teen's mother filed an application in the Supreme Court in Brisbane on March 20 to force Dr Rosengren to provide her with the statement of reasons explaining his decision to impose the ban.

This week, the court ordered Dr Rosengren to give her his statement of reasons by April 8 and to pay her legal costs.

The woman said she had asked him to provide her with the reasons in early February, but he failed to do so within the timeframe under the Judicial Review Act.

Here in the states a judge was tired of all the vapor research the conservatives based their banning us from bathrooms and the judge said "Show me the facts!"

"This application is hopefully just the first step in the battle. Once we get the statement of reasons my legal team will give me advice about whether I can challenge his decision and get his directive set aside."

They will not any legitimate reason to ban the puberty blockers because they do no harm. They have no data that shows that the reason they denied us the healthcare is purely for political reasons.
