I'm under the impression the UK did the minimum possible in order to be compliant with the European Court of Human Rights when creating the Gender Recognition Act following the Christine Goodwin case, so is it likely that Norway's procedures would be found to be breaching articles too given they're more strenuous? Sadly, I'm not familiar with any cases related to Norway so hope better schemes haven't already been ruled unnecessary by the ECHR due to 'margin of appreciation' or other such inconsistent nonsense. If there haven't been cases then I hope one does get heard and yields a favourable result as soon as possible.
"In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark wood, where the straight way was lost. It is a hard thing to speak of, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood was, so that thinking of it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death: but, in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there." - Dante Alighieri
