“Requires more knowledge about young people with könsdysfori”
“the Government needs to take more knowledge about könsdysfori in children and adolescents. It requires the State’s medical ethics council (Smer).”
“In a letter to the ministry of social affairs proposes the Direction that the government gives three authorities in the mission to enhance the knowledge about how könsdysfori investigated and treated.”
“Smer believes that there are gaps in knowledge, and proposes that the medical products agency, the national Board of health and the State’s preparation for medical and social assessment (SBU) the mission to strengthen the scientific basis. In it are included also to find out what is known about how common it is that children or young people who started treatment repent.”
“Könsdysfori is a medical diagnosis that can be asked when a person experiencing gender identity does not correspond with the sex that person is assigned at birth the same time as this creates suffering for the individual.”
“the Number of people diagnosed with könsdysfori increases. Particularly evident is the increase among young people assigned gender female at birth.”
“the Reason behind the increase of könsdysfori is unknown.”
“Possible explanations is that there is a greater transparency and knowledge about issues related to gender identity as well as an increase in access to investigation and treatment.”
