Summary
Résumé
Ces dernières années, un débat véhément a fait rage au sein de la juridiction anglaise et galloise à propos du traitement des affaires relatives aux enfants qui connaissent une déconnexion entre leur sexe biologique de naissance et le sexe auquel ils s’identifient. Le débat a été dominé par les opinions de ceux qui pensent qu’une attitude positive doit être adoptée à l’égard de l’identification sexuelle de ces enfants et qu’ils doivent être encouragés dans leur cheminement vers la transition, principalement par le biais d’un traitement médicamenteux. Ceux qui remettent en question cette approche se sont heurtés à une importante hostilité des militants en faveur de légalité des genres et des sexes et de ceux qui partagent le point de vue de ces militants.
Le nombre dénfants diagnostiqués avec des problèmes d’identification sexuelle a augmenté de façon exponentielle, mais il y a eu relativement peu de recherches au sein des instances compétentes sur cette question et sur les traitements actuellement proposés.
Dans le recueil de cette année de la Société internationale de droit de la famille, j’examine le traitement financé par le National Health Service England (NHS) des personnes de moins de dix-huit ans qui sont confrontées à une question d’identification sexuelle. J’examine également les critiques formulées dans les rapports relatifs à ce traitement, ainsi que deux arrêts importants de la High Court d’Angleterre et du Pays de Galles, Quincy Bell et Mrs A v. The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust (2020) et Re J (a minor) (2016). Ces critiques et jugements sont susceptibles d’avoir un effet sur le traitement futur des enfants dont l’identité sexuelle ne correspond pas à leur sexe de naissance.
In recent years, a vehement debate has been raging in the jurisdiction of England and Wales relating to treatment for children who experience a disconnection between their biological natal sex and the gender in which they have come to identify. The debate has become dominated by the views of those who believe that an affirmative attitude should be taken towards these children's gender identification, and that they should be encouraged on their journey towards transition, primarily by way of drug treatment. Those who question this approach have experienced significant hostility from gender activists, and from those who share the activists’ view.
