Not sure if you've mentioned this before, but for the global cafe: According to Swedish law, if you want to legally change your gender, the government forces you to undergo sterilization, taking away your reproductive rights. I learned this through a Swede flister, who posted this petition link: http://allout.org/stop_forced_sterilization

I did some research, and found an open letter from the Human Rights Watch here: http://www.hrw.org/news/2012/01/14/sweden-letter-prime-minister-regarding-transgender-law
