• Has not been yearly assessed for steady gender dysphoria
• The affected person and/or affected person’s mother and father haven’t been knowledgeable of all of the alleged harms of hormone remedy
• Supplier fails to make sure that the affected person has proven and has medically documented proof of a “long-lasting, persistent and intense sample” of gender dysphoria for 3 consecutive years
• Supplier fails to make sure that a affected person has acquired a “full psychological or psychiatric
  Evaluation” of 15 separate hourly classes with a therapist (10 of them need to be with the identical therapist). These need to be over the course of no fewer than 18 months

Bailey has previously told ABC 17 News that the rule creates safeguards for remedy.
