DESCRIPTION:Dr Senthorun Raj\, Keele University\n\nThe distress and anxie
 ty faced by young trans(gender) people generates varied social\, medical
 \, and legal concerns. In Australia\, minors have had to appeal to the w
 elfare jurisdiction of the Family Court of Australia if they wished to u
 ndergo medical or surgical changes to their body in order to alleviate ‘
 gender dysphoria’ and affirm their gender. In approving every applicatio
 n to date and\, most recently\, dispensing with the requirement to go se
 ek court approval\, the Family Court has exhibited care\, concern\, and 
 compassion when addressing anxieties faced by young trans people and for
 mulating therapeutic determinations to relieve their anxieties.\n\nThis 
 paper maps out this affective terrain – the alleviation of anxiety and t
 he cultivation of care – by exploring key appellate Family Court decisio
 ns relating to young trans people made between 2003 and 2018. It aims to
  map\, emotionally\, precedential jurisprudence to think critically abou
 t how the alleviation of anxiety and the cultivation of care are markers
  of legal progress when it comes to the judicial recognition of trans ch
 ildren in terms of their gender\, capacity\, and wellbeing. A critical q
 ueer engagement with Australian case law enables us to consider the exte
 nt to which alleviating anxiety and cultivating care secure the wellbein
 g of young trans and gender non-conforming people.
