SWEDEN – Skandia, the Swedish financial services provider, is being sued by Diskrimineringsbyrån, an anti- discrimination organisation in Uppsala, for allegedly prohibiting a transsexual person from changing her name in the company register.
The woman, who was born as a man, was told in her first conversation with Skandia that the name change was not possible, as it did not fit with her legal gender.
