I'd be more inclined to support your "multiculturalism" claims, if you weren't using language and rhetoric from a British hate group. Do you really say "LGB" in Norway? > And most people don't feel this way when they reach adulthood, as it's _typically_ a part of puberty. Most people don't feel this way in childhood, either – but most people who do feel that way in childhood, also feel that way in adulthood. > Not to say gender dysphoria doesn't exist, but there's also no actual solution to it right now. See, I can tell you haven't spoken much to trans folk, because that's not true. The only things we're missing are gonadal function, and natural erectile function in phalloplasties: everything else (including pregnancy, for trans women) is possible with current medical technology, albeit hideously expensive. Most trans people don't opt for such interventions, because they don't care about them all that much – or because they carry risks, such as vocal surgery. The most common interventions (such as exogenous sex hormones) are extremely effective at alleviating treating gender dysphoria. > Trans just has never been a thing culturally here. Trans people are well attested in ancient Scandinavian cultures – way more so than in Ancient Britain, where we only have fragmentary evidence and some etymological fun facts. I know that has little bearing on your current cultural attitudes, which are as I understand quite rigid about the gender binary, but I'm a pedant. > For one because we have strict laws of medical interventions on underage people, Norwegian law allows puberty blockers for children in Tanner stage 2, and hormones at the age of 16, subject to medical gatekeeping (which, provided waiting lists are reasonable, isn't so bad). The laws prohibit treatment to non-binary people, which is pretty bad, but they're hardly as you've described them.
