I generally troll the Transgender news regularly looking for stories to use in my quest to enlighten people about why transpeople need to be treated better than vermin. This week I was delighted to discover a feature article by Ann Tornkvist at GlobalPost, entitled Transgender Actress mourns her "forcible sterilization".
We like to think that Scandanavia countries like Sweden are bastions of good treatment for people like us. I read the article and stand corrected. Some things are apparently pretty much the same all over.
The article features the story of Swedish actress Aleksa Lundberg. Now 29 Lundberg completed transition when she was 18.
