A text that has found wide consensus. In Sweden, the Swedish parliament adopted two laws with 234 votes in favor and 94 against, one which lowers the minimum age to begin a gender transition from 18 to 16, and another which then facilitates access to interventions surgical.
A law that changes from July 2025
These two new laws will come into force on July 1, 2025: one, regulating gender change surgeries, and the other, regulating the administrative procedure for changing legal gender in the official registry.
When they come into force on July 1, 2025, people will be able to legally begin the process of changing their sex from the age of 16. But for minors, the authorization of the parents, that of the doctor and that of the National Council of Health and Social Protection will still be required. A diagnosis of gender dysphoria will therefore no longer be necessary.

Transitional surgeries will be permitted from age 18, but will no longer require Council approval. The removal of the ovaries or testicles will only be authorized from the age of 23, as today.
Sweden was also the first country to introduce legal gender change in 1972. These new laws therefore aim to simplify the currently very long procedure and can take up to seven years.
