Full official record
Federal Council of Medicine Resolution 2.427/2025 forbids physicians from prescribing hormone blockers for gender incongruence or dysphoria in children and adolescents, and forbids cross-sex hormones before age 18. Precocious puberty and other endocrine indications are carved out. Patients already on treatment are carved out. CFM states that the STF set aside a lower-court pause so the resolution is in force.
Unsourced claims of individual exceptions are omitted. If a later official court record carves out named cases, add them from that record.
