I had a lot of fun doing this story, and I think there are lessons in it that could apply to trans activists in the US or anywhere else in the world. Speaking to the organizers, what impressed me was how they welcomed criticism and controversy over the decision to call out leading doctors by name.

Substack is 100% doing another round of big cash payouts for reputation laundering. A fair number of people accepting that money aren't hurting for it so I'm not clear on why they're doing it. BTW, if you're still on Substack, why, but also, here's a resource to get off: leavesubstack.com

As I've learned more about Riittakerttu Kaltiala I've come to form a sense of her overall approach to psychiatry. She views her patients primarily through their deficits. She treats them harshly and expects her word to be law for them. She is not as much anti-trans as broadly anti-autonomy.

When Kaltiala produces papers claiming trans people have high mental health needs and suggesting these needs do not decrease with affirming treatment, it carries an implicit denigration of people with mental illness. She treats trans people as mentally ill and mentally ill people as disposable.
