An Australian couple whose child was reportedly seized by state authorities is appealing a magistrate’s ruling finding them abusive and \u201cdangerous\u201d for resisting testosterone therapy for their daughter, who identifies as male.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the unidentified parents filed papers last week seeking to appeal a magistrate’s October decision, setting up what appears to be the country’s first test case on parental rights regarding gender dysphoria medicine, the Australian newspaper<\/a> reported on Saturday. Their child, then 15, was taken away from the family last year, after discussing suicide online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe authorities say we will not allow her to change gender, so it’s dangerous for told her to come back to our house because we will mentally abuse her,\u201d<\/em> the father told the Australian. \u201cThey want us to consent to testosterone treatment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The parents are seeking an independent psychological review of all possible causes of their child’s depression, as well as consideration of non-invasive treatment options. The teen struggled after losing friends at 13, when the family relocated, and those difficulties were compounded by a difficult start to puberty and anxiety about eating and body image, the mother said.<\/p>\n

The family migrated to Australia a decade ago, the newspaper said, without identifying their native country. The magistrate found that the teen likely suffered verbal abuse over \u201chis feelings and expression of gender identity,\u201d<\/em> which the parents denied.<\/p>\n
