Scandinavia is only mid blue? Why?
The source for this data is Equaldex. According to their data on Sweden, for example, the following things are rated negatively:
- non-binary genders aren‘t legally recognized
- intersex infant surgery is not banned
- donating blood is not always possible for homosexual men
- conversion therapy is not banned
They might also take their public opinion section into account for the country‘s overall score, but I haven‘t looked into that more thoroughly.
This kinda thing can’t be reduced to a single number, how do you compare the US, where trans people often can’t afford HRT in the best states, and are literally unable to get it in Florida, to Iran, where it’s free, but surgery is mandatory and being gay is punishable by death?
A place where hatecrimes aren’t uncommon, but there is some level of legal protection, to a place with far fewer hatecrimes/discrimination, but no special legal protections?
