The source for this data is Equaldex. According to their data on Sweden, for example, the following things are rated negatively:

non-binary genders aren‘t legally recognized
intersex infant surgery is not banned
donating blood is not always possible for homosexual men
conversion therapy is not banned

They might also take their public opinion section into account for the country‘s overall score, but I haven‘t looked into that more thoroughly.

Yup. Changing gender also requires sterilization in Norway. It's fucked.

Isn't that just the byproduct of bottom surgery?

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No. It's common not to get surgery.

Changing gender requires sterilization even if you don't get surgery? What's the logic there?

To get estrogen/change state registered gender. Latent hate from an older generation of senior medical people. It was explqined to me over a year ago so i can't remember specific details.
