Swedish cross-dresser wins final battle to be named Madeleine

A male cross-dresser from Luleå in northern Sweden has won his legal struggle to go by the name Madeleine.

On Tuesday, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (Regeringsrätten) ruled that Jan-Olov Ågren can now add 'Madeleine' to his name.

The landmark ruling means that from Tuesday onwards, any Swedish adult is free to adopt names traditionally belonging to the opposite sex.
