An increasing number of young people are considering sex-change procedures. Finland's gay rights organisation Seta reports that interest in such procedures has clearly risen over the past three years.

Seta arranges tests and consultations for people who feel attracted to the same sex. In 2003, some 40 people made use of the service; however, by last year the number had jumped to 150, which includes many youths.

"We've had to change our services to better meet the needs of young transgender people and their families," says Maarit Huuska of Seta's Transgender Support Centre.
