Spain's first sex change operation on a minor took place last week at the private Clinic Hospital in Barcelona, after a judge authorized the operation in November, having studied medical reports that favoured the intervention. Sex-change is allowed on over 18s in Spain, but under that age require judicial authorization. The patient had been having hormone and psychiatric treatment for 18 months, and the girl, who had the full support of her parents and the doctors, is doing well. Reports say that the former boy had developed Gender Identity Disorder (GID) at age five.
