| Description | In Quebec, transition care is not restricted. There is no set age to access puberty blockers or hormones, but minors can consent to medical care by themselves starting at 14. In theory, this means they could access care without their parents' knowledge or consent, but it is hard to access in practice due to wait times and the lack of clinics providing this care. For surgery, only mastectomies can be done as a minor (starting at 16). The state currently covers mastectomies, phalloplasties, vaginoplasties and metaoidioplasties done at the Montreal GRS exclusively. |
