Information about Transformering

Transformering.se offers information and support for trans people, people with personal trans experience and people who are reflecting on or questioning their gender identity or gender expression, regardless of age.

We also offer information and support to friends, parents, adults of importance to trans children and adolescents, partners, siblings and other loved ones of trans people, as well as professionals, such as healthcare staff or school staff, and voluntary workers/NGOs.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer an English version of our webpage. If you are seeking information about gender-affirming care or about changing your legal name or legal gender in Sweden, a summary in English is available here.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions that are not answered there, or if you need some kind of support regarding trans health and rights.
