| Description | Please note: As a general rule, surgical treatment is not offered before the age of 18. Denmark launched a centralised gender transition service in 2016, providing healthcare for trans people, including minors. On May 4th 2023, Denmark imposed some, albeit minimal restrictions on transgender people's ability to access care. This was due to increased numbers of treatment referrals. Transgender youths can still access services with parental consent from 10, from 15 in some cases parental consent is not needed. |
