A transsexual man who gave birth at the maternity ward in Nyköping was referred to as "mum" in the journal. He then reported the region to the Discrimination Ombudsman (DO), reports P4 Sörmland.

We naturally regret the patient's experience. Region Sörmland wants to treat patients in a way that is correct for them, says Marie Bennermo, head of patient safety at Region Sörmland, to the radio.

The trans man had on several occasions pointed out that his pronouns are "he" and that he wanted to be called "dad", according to P4 Sörmland.

In the outdated system we have, unfortunately, it is not possible to change and switch pronouns to "dad", but it automatically becomes "mum", says Bennermo.

In a new system that will be introduced in spring 2025, there will, according to the patient safety chief, be the possibility to change pronouns.
