I read a review of the paper, maybe by @erininthemorning.com saying it used attendance at a psychiatric appointment as a measure that gender affirming care didn’t work, whilst at the same time, not declaring that psychiatric assessment was baked in to Finland’s gender services. This is not science 🤬

So, they actually didn't include gender clinic visits in their count of psychiatric contacts. But they also didn't flag that having multiple psychiatric screenings a year will inevitably result in more stuff being caught, which will raise the number of psychiatric contacts.

And, since they only counted contacts, if a person was sent by the gender clinic to a psychiatrist who said there was nothing wrong except gender dysphoria (something that happened to one of the patients I spoke with) that contact would count.
