Government wants to see how transgender people can be included in legislation on incitement to racial hatred, writes Swedish Dagbladet online.
This includes sexual orientation but be transgender has nothing to do with it but is about gender identity.
– There is a regrettable failure that transgender people are not explicitly mentioned in the equality legislation, said Integration Minister Erik Ullenhag (FP), which is responsible for LGBTQ issues in the government, told the newspaper.
On Thursday, made the decision to appoint a commission. It will look at the issue and also review some formulations of hate crime legislation, in particular where the concept of “race” occurs.
