The Ministry of Public Affairs of Sweden prepared and carried out two bills that allow us to simply change the floor: one concerns the legal change of documents at an earlier age, the other – hormone therapy and surgical intervention for transgender. This is referring to the Swedish television channel RT.
The head of the ministry and member of the Social Democratic Party of Lena Hallengren said about the bills. According to the plan, surgery will remain available only from 18 years: the previous version of the law, where it was proposed to reduce the minimum age for an agreement for operation up to 15 years, severely criticized.
The current version leaves the 18-year-old age by the lower threshold, but allows you to get permission to such surgery from local medical institutions, and not request in federal departments.
In this case, the opportunity to officially change the floor according to the documents will appear from the age of 12.
Earlier it was reported that the state authorities of the New South Wales in Australia wanted to allow children aged three years to choose a sex identification to themselves.
