There's some discussion on this -- by taking crossdressing and the other six sexual behaviors off of the list of treatable conditions, it appears that the single-payer healthcare system no longer will pay for treatment of people who engaging in any of these sexual behaviors. So if one is experiencing depression relating to one's crossdressing, will the Swedish welfare system pay for treatment for the depression, or disallow treatment because the underlying cause of the depression doesn't have a medical diagnoses? I don't know.
