Vilnius (Reuters) - Lithuania has paid 40,000 euros ($63,140) for a citizen to undergo a full sex change operation abroad because the government missed a July 1 deadline, set by a European court, to adopt a domestic gender reassignment law.
Last year the individual, who was born female in 1978, won a case against Lithuania in the European Court of Human Rights. The court ruled the predominantly Catholic country had to enact a gender reassignment law, or pay 40,000 euros to enable surgery to take place abroad.
