1972 was the year when Sweden passed a law allowing people to change sex if they wished - but a requirement was to have undergone surgery and sterilisation. In 2013 this requirement was dropped.
How is that eugenics? You could call it coercion to some extent, but it wasn't enforced in the way that the sterilisation of special needs girls and women was in Sweden. If people chose not to have sex change surgery were they dragged from the streets and made to have it? They could have just not changed their legal gender and avoided it.
Just when I think this thread couldn't get more ridiculous you trump it. There's nothing that women and girls have been through that transwomen haven't had worse.
N here.
I have no wish to have extensive engagement with you Aurora, but I note your means of dragging people in.
This forum is not testimony or witness statement, you have sworn no oath. However if you wish to discuss such things in good faith, there is the requirement of honesty.
The eugenics programme had several strands, The introduction to law, and their endings of these strands had different timings (date ranges).
It is important for you to understand the basis on which the study was produced. Yes, it was published in 2011, however the data was obtained from historic court records covering the whole of that period - not the year 2011. So I have to inform you that narrative you present is entirely false.
I find myself in a fortunate position. My work in Europe brings me into contact with many colleagues in a diverse work environment. My colleagues include Swedish lawyers with specialisms in human rights law. I have the benefit of conversations with them. Sweden is currently in the grip to some degree of national shame for the treatment of the people included in the various strands. In 2013 further to the law being changed was a wholesale climate of shame following the realisation that the coercion was not 'soft' as tended to be indicated and believed, it was in fact 'hard'.
It is true that the current legal position in the UK is that the philosophical belief of being gender critical is accepted. It is also accepted that the right to freedom of expression gifts you the right to express your opinions. As an opinion of my own I am free to express that I believe that there is a measure of coercion and control in your own posting. You seem unable to accept that others do not agree with you. You spend an inordinate amount of time policing the forum in order to force your view as the only correct one. All of this is performance is made with a perfunctory interest in truth and the law. This, at least to me, looks unhealthy.
