This year it became possible to change your legal gender in Norway by request. No need to provide a reason. Just inform the population register and it`ll get done. I agree with that. It was not decent to demand people get castrated before they could change their legal gender.

But now we have to rethink out where and when gender should have legal consequences. In particular this applies to the various types of mild positive discimination to help women get into academia, the military and various male dominated professions. Do we tweak these policies so that you can only benefit from them if you were assigned "female" at birth? Do we require that you have to outwardly appear as a woman for a certain amount of time ( say 5 years for example). Or do we say gently caress it and hope for the best? Remove them completely because gender is a false construct that we are now offically over and done with?

I am sure there are other areas where your legal gender matters that will require a rethink now that anyone can have it changed.

I mean, this seems like a vanishingly small problem but should probably be monitored. Sounds like it should be 'wait and see if this actually becomes an issue'

I'm having a lot of 'fun' as a first time voter trying to work out wtf is going on. Moved to near karlskrona last year from England but am a Swedish citizen and all I know at this point is that I 10000% don't want to vote Sweden democrats and want to vote as non useless left as I can.

SVT's electoral quiz thing said for riksdag I was mostly social democrats and v�nster but I could go for slightly more specific advice, especially for the local poo poo I don't have the first idea about since I'm here so recently

I'm voting V

My dad is voting center it seems mostly because they want to allow farmers to distill their own booze.

I mean , it's a better single issue to vote for than kick out the brown people I guess.

That's a question I should have asked before now that I've moved to Sweden. Who owns the papers here anyway?
