The distress and anxiety faced by young trans(gender) people generates varied social, medical, and legal concerns. In Australia, minors have had to appeal to the jurisdiction of the Family Court of Australia if they wished to undergo medical or surgical changes to their bodies in order to alleviate ‘gender dysphoria’ and affirm their gender. In approving almost every application to date and, most recently, dispensing with the requirement to seek Court approval, the Family Court has exhibited care, concern, and compassion when addressing anxieties faced by young trans people and formulating therapeutic determinations to relieve those anxieties. This paper maps out this affective terrain – the alleviation of anxiety and cultivation of care – by exploring key appellate Family Court decisions relating to young trans people made between 2004 and 2018. A queer engagement with Australian Family Court decisions enables us to consider the extent to which alleviating anxiety and cultivating care secure the wellbeing of young trans and gender non-conforming people.

减轻焦虑感和养育之道:澳大利亚家庭法院的跨性别青年

年轻的跨性别者所面临的困扰和焦虑引起了各种各样的社会,医学和法律关注。在澳大利亚,未成年人如果希望对其身体进行医学或外科手术以减轻“性别不安”并确认其性别,则必须向澳大利亚家庭法院的管辖权提出上诉。迄今为止,几乎批准了每一项申请,最近又省去了寻求法院批准的要求,在解决跨性别青年面临的焦虑并制定缓解这些焦虑的治疗方法时,家事法庭表现出了关怀,关注和同情心。本文探讨了家庭上诉法院在2004年至2018年间做出的与年轻跨性别者有关的主要上诉裁决,从而勾勒出了这种情感地形-减轻焦虑和护理养育。
