A 14-year-old transgender boy has the capacity to consent to his own medical treatments and should be allowed to proceed with hormone injections to help transition from a female to a male body without delay, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled.

In an affidavit to the court, the mother previously wrote: “If his treatment is put on hold, I am terrified that A.B. will conclude there is no hope and will take his life.”
Earlier this month, the hospital did another evaluation of A.B. to make sure he had the ability for informed consent and concluded that he did, the court was told.

Makes me sick
