| 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. However, misinformation by transphobic sources often cite it as a ban. |

edited by DaisyGeekyTrans. Adding that misinformation is rife. Again, SEGM is not a reliable source for GAHC. I mean they claim there’s no evidence for gender affirming care. They’re also wrong about all the countries they claim banned puberty blockers, except for Britain.

Reports (2)
- Newer law has been passed "https://segm.org/Denmark-sharply-restricts-youth-gender-transitions "By 2018, Denmark's centralized gender service was medically transitioning 65% of referred youth." "In 2022, only 6% of those referred to Denmark’s centralized gender clinic were prescribed endocrine interventions (puberty blockers and/or cross-sex hormones)." That shows unarguably that Denmark has begun heavily restricting gac services for minors, similar to its Finno-Scandinavian relatives. A change from 65% to 6% is huge, and 6% is virtually none, meaning it should say restricted for minors."
