A proposito di questo titolo

This week Bette (she/they) and Ez (he/him) tackle Finland, a country where trans healthcare seems stranded in the previous century, and whose most famous anti-trans adolescent psychiatrist, Riitterkerttu Kaltiala, has collaborated with SEGM, the Florida Board of Medicine, and the Cass Review board. As Kaltiala hosts a webinar for a small Australian trans-skeptical psychiatrists’ group and the internet debates the merits or otherwise of her latest “largely useless” study, Bette shares the testimonies of Finnish trans young people forced to endure a system that is “comparable to torture”. Meanwhile a story has surfaced in the Finnish state-run media: staff at Kaltiala’s EVA Unit have been illegally restraining young residents. Now that they’re tying down cis kids with bedsheets, will the world finally listen? 🔗 If you'd like to listen back to the unedited episode - with the music - head to our On Demand website.
