Kyiv • UNN
The Swedish parliament has voted to lower the minimum age for legal gender reassignment from 18 to 16, allowing people to change their legal gender from the age of 16 with the consent of their parents and a doctor.
The Swedish parliament has voted in favor of a new law on gender identity, which provides for a reduction in the minimum age for legal gender reassignment from 18 to 16 years. UNN reports this with reference to Dagens Nyheter.
"After a six-hour debate, the parliament voted on Wednesday in favor of a new law on gender identity," the statement said.
Thus, 234 deputies voted in favor, 94 voted against, and 21 were absent.
Addendum
Sweden was the first country to introduce legal gender reassignment in 1972, but a proposal to lower the minimum age from 18 to 16, which was voted on in parliament today, has sparked controversy.
Yes, people will be able to change their legal gender starting from the age of 16, although those under 18 will need the approval of their parents, doctor, and the National Health and Welfare Council.
In addition to lowering the age, the proposals also aim to make it easier for people to change their legal gender.
