They seek a very slim compensation for what they were subjected to. I hope the Danish government just agrees, fighting it would basically mean that they stand by the actions.

$38k?! I'd want at least 20 times that

It’s a very small price to pay for eugenics. I agree that they deserve much more, but my point was rather that the government absolutely shouldn’t fight it.

I’m not sure Sweden ever offered any sort of damages to the trans people that were forced to sterilise. We abolished that law in 2013 I believe.

We nordics like to pretend that we’re progressive, and in some cases we are, but we can be damned evil too. Stop and frisk was a big talking point during the last election here in Sweden.
