Exclusive: largest data analysis of its kind counters Trump’s aggressive efforts to deny trans minors’ existence

More than 2.8 million people now identify as transgender in the US, including an estimated 724,000 youth, according to a new data analysis that is the largest of its kind to date.

Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Williams Institute used federal surveys and data from state health agencies to identify the size and demographics of the trans population in each state.

The analysis, shared with the Guardian and released on Wednesday, documented thousands of trans youth living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The findings counter Donald Trump’s aggressive efforts to deny the existence of trans minors, as his administration removes references to trans people across federal agencies and widely erodes protections and programs for LGBTQ+ communities.

I'm not going to say I know exactly how the process is made. But I know forgeiners can open bank accounts without having a Swedish personnummer. Provided you have a good reason to do so. E.g. employment as the classic example. But being a student should also be a good reason.

In essence. They just want to make sure you're not laundering money. That is their biggest concern.

Also, I would recommend that you take it easy at first on your transfers. I don't know if the Swedish bank can handle dollars or if they will automatically exchange it to SEK, but it's currently semi-stable at about ~9.6SEK per USD, coming down from an all time high of ~11SEK per USD at the start of the year. Make of that as you will. But it's worth keeping in mind to decide when and how much you want to transfer at a time.
