A leading Finnish pediatric gender expert has warned about transgender treatments being pushed on children, pointing out that the majority of kids facing “gender identity” issues come out of such confusion when they grow up.

In an interview with Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, chief psychiatrist at Tampere University’s department of adolescent psychiatry, said she has come across hundreds of young people who were struggling with their gender experience. She noted that some children will strongly identify with the opposite gender at some point in their lives.
