A 15-year-old trans boy has won a legal battle to get top surgery.

Identified in court documents as Quinn, this is believed to be the first time in the country for a transgender child to receive surgery before beginning hormone treatment.

Australia’s Family Court heard how Quinn identified as a boy at the age of four and was supported by his parents.

A psychologist, who cannot be named, described because as the teen didn’t take puberty blockers his dysphoria got worse and worse as he grew an E-cup bust.

The teen is hoping to take hormones as soon as possible, within 12 months, and dreams of growing a beard and chest hair.

‘Society has begun to accept transgender individuals, however I am highly doubtful they would accept an individual with a beard, hairy chest and an E-cup bust,’ the psychologist said.

Quinn was questioned in court, demanding to know whether he ‘understood the consequences’ of the mastectomy including the chance of breastfeeding a child if he changed his mind in the future, according to the Australian.

Justice Rees said the guidelines allowed for ‘unique’ circumstances and was dependent on the child’s situation. And as the large breasts were causing him ‘psychological and physical pain’, the judge allowed the surgery to go forward.

In the press, the 15-year-old was heavily misgendered in the press.
