SINGAPORE: Final decisions on the use of hormonal therapy"rest with clinicians and their patients", said the Ministry of Education and Institute of Mental Health in a joint statement on Thursday .
Ashlee had asked that the school not be named for fear of repercussions for speaking with the media, and requested to be referred to by she/her pronouns.She was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2019, she said, adding that the situation with MOE and the school started around February last year. The school's year head and counsellor had also sat in for at least one of her appointments with the psychiatrist, said Ashlee, adding that some school rules were relaxed during the time, citing the example of being allowed to use the wheelchair toilet.
According to Ashlee, the school's principal also requested to work personally with the endocrinologist to limit the dose of hormones so that expulsion was unlikely to happen.
Each person should be allowed their choice but should not expect the state to subsidise or pay for it.
