ACT teens as young as 14 can now change gender

Sky News host Caleb Bond has questioned how 14-year-olds in the ACT can change their gender, but aren’t allowed to smoke or get tattoos. The Government of the Australian Capital Territory have changed the law to allow 14-year-olds to change their name without their parents’ consent. “Now I look forward to the ACT allowing 14-year-olds to drink," Mr Bond said. “Allowing 14-year-olds to smoke. “Allowing 14-year-olds to get tattoos. “Of course, they are not going to do that are they, but when it comes to gender; no parental permission required.”
