A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures.
The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019.
A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years.
Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture.
The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment.
Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls.
"Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded.
Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls.
The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges.
The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway.
How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?
Thank you, @nickshirleyy and @JamesOKeefeIII for joining us this morning to discuss the rampant fraud wasting American taxpayers' money.

The waiters dropped their trays and ran. I reached for where my sword would be.
A pack of them was closing on one table in the corner, clapping in rhythm, moving as one. Years of war read it at once: a coordinated strike. A man sat at the center. They had come for him.
I rose to defend a stranger.
Then they began to chant. "Happy... birthday... to... you." A war hymn. Slow, deliberate, sung straight into the face of the marked man — who, to his great credit, did not run. He sat. He let them come. A warrior's death.
(I will admit it. My eyes stung. I did not know his name. I saluted him anyway.)
I joined the line. I clapped. I do not abandon a man in his final hour.
I clapped harder than anyone. When they reached the part where the whole house must sing the name, I sang it loudest, though I had only just learned it was "Greg." I sang GREG like it was the last word I would ever speak.
A waiter leaned toward me. "Sir, do you... know Greg?"
"I do now," I said. "We have stood together."
They brought out fire. A single candle, on a small cake, carried like a sacred flame. So it was true. The end had come. I bowed my head.
Greg blew it out himself. Calm. Unflinching. He put out his own pyre with one breath, and the whole house cheered his courage.
I have never respected a man more.
I stood and applauded until my hands hurt. I would have carried him out on my shoulders. A waitress had to gently explain that Greg was, in fact, turning thirty-one, and was going home after this. Alive.
A man should be honored as if every year were his last. That is the only way to deserve the next one.
They have asked me not to sing at the other tables.
So tell me, America — when the drums come for a man and he does not run, what do you call that, if not the bravest thing in the room?
Carnik Con creator arrested for discussing widely available/free information. Support him, the Feds are trying to take him down. The VA also will not be treating him for MS during this time. Support him and his family. He’s a awesome individual and doesn’t deserve this.

These texts are disgusting.
The question is, will Tony finally admit he’s been lying this whole time? Or will he double down even though there is now undeniable proof?
