    Brazil more restrictive on gender reassignment procedures

    Overdiagnosis in the past few years has been cited as one of the reasons for changing the medical guidelines

    A resolution by Brazil's Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) revising ethical and technical guidelines for treating individuals with gender dysphoria was published in Wednesday's issue of the Diário Oficial da União (Official Gazette). The measure introduces key changes, such as banning hormone therapies for individuals under 18 as well as gender reassignment surgeries.
