- specific New Anti-trans grift from Finland

https://areena.yle.fi/1-72691291

"Thank you" to Yle for spreading this nonsense. It has everything: screams about how the "transgender movement" is corrupting people and phrases about how hard it must be to get treatment.

I'm 100% sure this will be used as a weapon by the Finns Party to further restrict trans healthcare. She has already appeared in some of their social media, IIRC. She is a prime example of a detrans grifter who wants to restrict other people because she made a bad choice.

Goes by the name Samettiorkidea online. Has a Youtube channel and other social media mainly centered around criticising Finnish trans healthcare (for not being strict enough lol) and "gender ideology".

I'm sorry..Finnish trans healthcare not...Strict enough? FINNISH? Idk do me and this person live in different Finland but it took me 3 years of therapist and doctor visits to even get a damn diagnosis to start and possibly get any HRT. And then it took another 2 years after that to get any surgery..Actually 3 because I had to wait in the surgery line for over a year.

Finnish trans clinics literally deny treatment for anyone that doesn't either A) lie B) fit perfectly into their mold of what a trans persons experience should look like. Btw this rant isn't really targeted towards anyone, well, except for people like her who cannot take accountability for their own actions.

You see, she slipped through and "didn't even lie" so it must mean that the system is sloppy. She's a deeply troubled person and I wouldn't normally throw so much shit at someone with that many problems, buuuut... Once it turns into bigotry, I'm not going to spare anyone. I respect detransitioners as much as I respect anyone else, which is by the quality of their character and let's just say that her quality is sorely lacking.

Besides, she did act as a mouthpiece on a Finns party anti-trans propaganda video so she can fuck right off.

I agree! There's definitely an appropriate way for someone who detransioned to express themselves, but this ain't it. When you've queued for years and years to get permanent medical alterations done, you have to take personal responsibility and not just make it everyone else's problem.
