DISINFO: This Week's Trend: Norway passed a law that allows children decide to change gender

SUMMARY

This Week’s Trend: Norway passed a law that children from 7 to 17 years are free to decide themselves whether to change their gender or not.

RESPONSE

A draft of the law would allow the parents of children from seven to 16 to apply for a change in legal gender, affecting everything from social security numbers to passports. Anyone aged 16 or above could apply themselves. The proposal only affects legal documents - surgery can only be performed on those aged 18 or above: reut.rs/1XqeWnr,
