The entire premise of ‘gender transition’ is a fraud. After cross-sex hormones and surgery, the share of young Finns needing psychiatric care went from 19% to 49%! Finland tracked every young person sent to its gender clinics, for up to 25 years. Among those given cross-sex hormones or surgery, 19.2% had needed specialist psychiatric care before their first clinic visit. After their last procedure, 48.9% did. Their matched peers stayed flat. We were told cross-sex hormones and surgery would fix these young people's mental health. Finland checked. After the drugs and the surgery, far more of them needed psychiatric care, not fewer. What Finland found Finland sends every young person who wants a medical "gender reassignment" to one of two university hospital clinics, in Helsinki and Tampere. Researchers led by Dr. Sami-Matti Ruuska, an adolescent psychiatrist, and Prof. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, a professor of adolescent psychiatry at Tampere University, pulled the national health records for every one of them. That's 2,083 people under 23 who went to those clinics between 1996 and 2019. Each was matched with eight people of the same birth year and hometown, 16,643 in all. Some were followed for up to 25 years. The new numbers Critics claimed the first analysis might have counted people who hadn't had their drugs or surgery yet. So in September the authors ran it again, starting the clock only after each person's last step: cross-sex hormones, breast removal, or genital surgery. •Before their first gender-clinic visit, 19.2% had needed specialist psychiatric care. •At some point after their last procedure, 48.9% did. •Their matched peers, counted from the same dates, went from 14.4% to 13.2%. After their last procedure, these young people were about six times as likely as the general population to need specialist psychiatric care. That held for both males and females. billboardchris.com/news/2026…
