Transvestism 'no longer a disease' in Sweden

Transvestism, along with six other sexual behaviours, will be struck
from Sweden's official list of medical diagnoses starting on January
1st, 2009.

The National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) took the
decision to declassify the behaviours as illnesses in order to avoid
strengthening prejudices about them, said agency head Lars-Erik Holm.
