A move to scrap Swedish laws requiring compulsory sterilization for people undergoing gender reassignment surgery has been put on ice following opposition from the Christian Democrats.

The Christian Democrats have convinced the other centre-right parties to set aside a new legislative proposal that would have scrapped the law, arguing that the issued is legally complex and needs to be examined further.

Opposition parties decried the move, claiming that a majority of members in the Riksdag support efforts to ditch the demand.

I discovered this issue on SillyYetSuccint's channel on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/sillyyetsuccinct). He's an American FtM who lives in Sweden. I highly recommend his channel.

Thanx for the update.
