Sorry if this has been covered before but it is a very interesting article.
www.theguardian.com/society/2020/feb/22/ssweden-teenage-transgender-row-dysphoria-diagnoses-soar Filter magazine profiled the case of Jennifer Ring, a 32-year-old trans woman who hanged herself four years after her surgery. An expert on psychosis who was shown her medical journal by her father, Avi Ring, was quoted as saying that she had shown clear signs of psychosis at the time she first sought treatment for gender dysphoria.
Indeed, the first clinic she approached refused to treat her, citing signs of schizotypal symptoms and lack of a history of gender dysphoria. But the team at Karolinska went ahead. “Karolinska don’t stop anyone; virtually 100% get sex reassignment,” says Ring.
This is a very clear article that described the scandal appearing to kick off in Sweden when people realised what was happening with the proposed changes to their laws on transitioning. The GI clinic claims caution but seems to support transition in all their patients. There are detransitioners and former activists with regret of their surgery. A clear warning for caution at the time but we haven’t heard much from Sweden on the situation today. Is there a Swedish Mumsnet?
