Finland was the same until about a year ago. Changing your legal gender used to require “inability to procreate”, which effectively meant sterilisation.

It’s tragically very common. Many US states won’t update documents without bottom surgery as do many European countries. Far be for a trans person to exist with thr ability to give birth. What if their child… catches it?!?!

It’s sort of disgusting what passes as progress for us. Mandatory sterilization says a lot about how the world views trans folk. Hopefully this turns into a Denmark situation where these requirements are apologized for, not like $5k really makes up for losing the ability to start a family.
