Two wrongs don't make a right, just more wrong.
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finland-allow-gender-reassignment-without-sterilisation-2023-03-03/
In 2017 EU court was like "Finland that's not legal, and is breaking human rights."
2023 they finally fix it.
COPENHAGEN, March 3 (Reuters) - Finland will allow transgender people to change their legal gender at their own request and without undergoing sterilisation, new legislation signed by the Finnish President confirmed on Friday. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2017 , opens new tab that requiring sterilisation in order for individuals to change the sex on their birth certificate is a violation of human rights.
never said it was right. america still does this though. being transgender is considered a mental illness when it's just a different brain development. it has nothing to do with reality. tribal peoples had lgbt people of all kinds pre colonization and it was considered normal. They were given the ultimate form of acceptance- roles in their society. They were basically expected to adopt orphans of the tribe while in a gay marriage
What do you mean America still does that?
I know Trumpism is real threat to trans people ans trans healthcare and rights have taken massive hits, but you're not actually forced to undergo sterilisation as a trans person, are you?
I'm sure you've heard of this man even if you don't remember it by name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Beatie he became pregnant in 2007.
Wouldn't have happened here, because of the forced sterilisation.
