Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Forced sterilization of Transgender people as a requirement for legal gender recognition.

radicalspacerobot:

fuckyeahsexeducation:

The Swedish legal requirement that people who want to officially change their sex with the government must be be sterilized first. The law also forbids the freezing of sperm or eggs before corrective surgery, which effectively means transgender Swedes are barred from having biological children.

“Compulsory sterilization” has been quietly practiced for decades in countries typically cast as progressive on LGBT rights: France, the Netherlands, Australia, and a number of U.S. states still require it. Italy and Germany have just recently overturned similar legislation.

These are relatively progressive countries, especially the Netherlands and Sweden. I’m now sad to say I’m part Swedish, French, Dutch and German. This is just ridiculous legislation.

Whaaatt the fuuuckk
