TRANSGENDER CHANGES: Diminishing in Europe

Dr. Riittakertta Kaltiala, a Finnish Psychiatrist and leading gender expert, explained that transgender changes are diminishing in Scandinavia and European countries. The most valid study, one of the few longitudinal done, on 70 pre-teen boys, vetted the boys for mental health needs because two problems have been detected: 1) a prior mental problem, 2) a desire for a quick “fix” by surgery to transgenderism. Unfortunately the “fix” does not alleviate the mental problem which leads to the conclusion that mental health needs to be attended to first rather than physical transitions. Without the basic problem alleviated, the unsatisfactory result of transgender change is remaining unhappiness, mental confusion and sometimes suicide.

Four of five kids who question their gender “grow out of it” without medical intervention says Dr. Kaltiala; she stated that 12 separate studies support her claim. (New York Post, Feb. 22, 2023)

More U.S. experts are speaking out against the “horrific” treatments used in transgender changes; maybe parents and U.S. doctors as well as children will be encouraged by Dr. Kaltiala’s studies and the diminishing treatments in Europe.
