  That's interesting, why wouldn't a trans person want the surgery? I thought they want to be the other sex?
context: Finland has passed a new, progressive rights law which makes it substantially easier for trans people to change their legal gender. >
  
  Also, trans people no longer have to prove that they're sterile in order to do so. >

  In many countries we are not allowed to change documentation to show the correct gender without meeting certain conditions and being sterile is common. Some countries require gender affirming bottom surgery before you can do anything at all (which implies sterility anyway). And not all trans people can afford or want surgery
