A transgender person may be SEK 12 000 for the anti-discrimination agency Malmo against discrimination reached a settlement with a psychiatric reception in Helsingborg, reported Sydsvenskan.
The person would in 2014 seek a firefighter training and needed a certificate from a psychologist, something the psychologist refused to give, then the person at the time scheduled to undergo an investigation for sex change.
– the psychologist had heard about the harsh climate of training of other clients, and felt that if women have it tough could this person be able to get it even tougher because of their gender identity. Pure speculation, says Johanna Ingemarsson, a lawyer at Malmo on discrimination, to the newspaper.
The person did not receive the certificate meant that it was not possible to apply for the program.
