For example the WPATH criteria for commencement of gender affirming hormone therapy (aged 16+) are as follows:

- Persistent, well-documented gender incongruence (sometimes referred to as gender dysphoria);
- Capacity to make a fully informed decision and to consent for treatment;
- Age of majority in a given country
- If significant medical or mental health concerns are present, they must be reasonably well-controlled.
