A new study based on Finnish registry data claims to show that gender-affirming treatment for transgender adolescents resulted in poorer mental health. However, the study was not designed to address this issue, and based on the reported data, it is impossible to draw conclusions.

Skjermdump av avisartikkel
I Morgenbladet denne uka forsøker jeg å trekke noen linjer mellom den aktuelle saken om ulovlig forskning ved Rikshospitalet på unge transkjønnedes journalopplysninger og den mye lengre tradisjonen med uetisk forskning på transpersoner.

I intervjuet snakket vi om filmen "Paradiset er ikke til salg" fra 1985, der Christine Jorgensen opptrer. Filmen, som gir et fint innblikk i dansk transhistorie, kan man se her:

Som von Essen skriver: "Det var ikke velfærdsstatens frisind, der tidligt gav transpersoner mulighed for at få kønsskifteoperationer – det var viljen til at regulere individet."
Det var en glede å snakke med Sarah von Essen for @weekendavisen.dk om min nye bok og den skandinaviske transmedisinske historien.

Inge Lorange Backer trekker de lange linjene i lovforberedelsen, mens Maiken S. Granberg skriver om felleshager som matsikkerhet og beredskap.
Forsida og heftet er som vanlig ypperlig illustrert av Siri Dokken.
God lesing fra oss i redaksjonen!
