An Australian teen who was born female but identifies as male has been removed from her parents\u2019 care after a judge ruled that it is unsafe for her to remain at home considering her risk of self-harm and the parents\u2019 disagreement with pursuing a sex change.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The authorities] say we will not allow her to change gender, so it\u2019s dangerous for her to come back to our house because we will mentally abuse her,\u201d the unidentified father told The Australian<\/a>. \u201cThey want us to consent to testosterone treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attorneys for the parents have filed paperwork appealing a protective order from October, in which a Children\u2019s Court magistrate cited the risk of self-harm the teen as she had posted about suicide online last year. He also found it probable that the child was enduring verbal abuse over her \u201cfeelings and expression of gender identity,\u201d which the parents deny.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the family moved to Australia 10 years ago and have been aware that their now 15-year-old daughter suffers from depression. They state that she also struggles with social skills, her eating and body image, and puberty was a difficult transition for her.<\/p>\n

However, instead of pursuing a \u201csex change,\u201d they prefer for the teen to be seen by an\u00a0independent psychologist to find the root cause of her feelings and to provide help that is less invasive, considering the permanency of the alternative option.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 7, attorneys for the teen filed paperwork seeking for the child to be allowed to begin \u201chormone therapy,\u201d but the parents have requested a second opinion first. Child protective officials have reportedly consented to obtaining a second opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially Australians, they just can\u2019t believe that it happens in Australia,\u201d the mother stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe end of parenting as we knew it. We have no rights. Our children can be seriously harmed by the government and medical profession and we are powerless to stop it,\u201d<\/p>\n
