| Description | On October 2, 2025, Judge Flávio Dino of the Supreme Federal Court overturned a decision by the Federal Court of Acre and reinstated Resolution 2427/2025 of the Federal Council of Medicine, which prohibits puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors under 18 years of age. The resolution also establishes that sex reassignment surgeries can only be performed for those 21 and older. However, in practice, the Supreme Court has ruled in favour of minors accessing it while not removing the rule. The decision will remain in effect until the plenary session of the Supreme Federal Court of Justice reviews the lawsuit filed against the resolution. |
