Sweden keeps forced sterilization law for trans people

lipstick-feminists:

Members of the Swedish government have announced they will not change the current law requesting transgender people to undergo sterilisation.

A majority of the Swedish Parliament is for an abolishment of the law but a small conservative party is putting a halt to the change. […]

The 1972 law being kept in force states that a person wanting their gender reconsidered by the state has to be over 18 years old, unmarried and sterilised.

Transgender persons are also banned from storing sperm or eggs in a sperm/egg bank for future use.

What the actual fuck?
