LGBT News Norway set to allow gender change without medical intervention

BradThePug · Mar 19, 2016

Norway's healthcare ministry on Friday proposed allowing people to legally change their gender without the need for any surgery, hormone treatment or sterilisation, a move hailed by Amnesty International.

The ministry introduced a bill proposing that "people who want to change their legal gender are no longer required to undergo medical treatment."
The bill is expected to pass with a broad majority in parliament.
"Norway is in the forefront when it comes to LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) rights. But our current system for changing legal gender is unacceptable and has been unchanged for nearly 60 years. This proposal is in accordance with human rights," Healthcare Minister Bent Hoie said in a statement.

Awesome! Go Norway!

I haven't kept up with the story but I heard that Quebec is looking to put something similar into action in Canada. Although I think they were also going to not require a therapist's endorsement.
