  jeg modtog følgende mail fra TGEU. Her i Danmark kigges der meget på hvad der sker i Norge og forholdene er blevet ringere der for transseksuelle.
Jeg har givet mit bidrag til denne underskriftsindsamling.
 
  -------Original Message-------   From:  Date: 28-09-2009 18:32:44  Petition: Help us end GID-monopoly in Norway!   End GID-monopoly in Norway!
We demand that the Norwegian government must end Rikshospitalet’s monopoly on deciding who can get gender reassignment (diagnosing Gender Identity Disorders (GIDs)). This means
a) that professionals outside of Rikshospitalet must be allowed to diagnose GIDs
b) that Rikshospitalet must be obligated to treat patients who get diagnosed elsewhere

Today, Rikshospitalet in Oslo has a monopoly on diagnosing GID in Norway. The monopoly does great harm to a lot of transgender people who need treatment. This group has no right to a second opinion, like other patient groups in Norway have. Several professionals across the country are competent to diagnose GIDs.

The situation in Norway has upset activists all over the world, after the news of a woman who cut off her testicles when she did not get the right GID diagnosis (ICD-code F64.0) at Rikshospitalet. The petition is supported by LLH - the Norwegian organisation for LGBT rights and Queer Youth. Please sign the petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/TranshealthNorway/   Best regards, Tarald Stein
