The statements come from representatives of the "Sweden Democrats" party. Skim the wikipedia article about who they are.

Some choice quotes:
"The party had its roots in Swedish fascism[15] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_Democrats#cite_note-r1089-15> and was a part of the white supremacy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_supremacy> movement;[16] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_Democrats#cite_note-telegraphboots-16>" "The Sweden Democrats, however, remain isolated in the Riksdag because the other parties are staunchly maintaining a policy of refusing cooperation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordon_sanitaire#In_politics> with them.[25] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_Democrats#cite_note-25>" "The Sweden Democrats believe that the current Swedish immigration <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Sweden> and integration policies have been a failure. They oppose integration because they believe that integration involves "meeting in the middle" and do not think that the indigenous Swedish people <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedes> should have to bear the burden "

The section on ideologies is interesting too. They might as well have "Make Sweden Great Again" hats.

My only point is, Trump made one of his typical off-the-cuff/out his ass utterances, he was excoriated by the left press.
Now it seems there was something of substance behind his comment.

Sweden has accepted something like 25 times as many refugees per capita than the U.S. And they have been mostly men who can’t find work. Whereas the U.S. accepts mostly women and children, who have been heavily screened, and there are usually communities willing to help them integrate. I’m not sure why we are wanting to point fingers at Sweden and make some political issue of this.



Why not instead look for a model of how to do this right? By all accounts, Canada is very good at this, with families virtually adopting refugees and helping them resettle and integrate into Canadian society.



Just be happy we get some choice unlike Europe which doesn’t have the Atlantic ocean between them and disasters like Syria.

Once you know someone who is transgender, it turns out not to be like that at all. There are exceptions to everything, but if the first thing that comes to your mind is identifying as a girl to shower with the girls, then probably you don’t have any friends or relatives that are transgender. Well, that is unlikely, more likely you just don’t know they are trans.



And school kids unfortunately take the brunt of this. Anywhere else, are there really going to be bathroom police checking birth certificates? There’s a creepy thought.

Bored.

If this was mid 1970s and if I discovered that the president said I could shower with the girls at school it I “identified as a girl”, I sure as hell would have identified as a girl....



I have not heard a single commentator address this issue. Boys will be boys. What do the lgbtqrstuv folks have as an answer to this situation?



They don’t seem to be interested in protecting the rights of my granddaughter to not have the boy’s football team in there after volleyball practice.
