Among other things, MPs of the Scandinavian country will have to deal with a controversial bill, namely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euractiv.com\/section\/politics\/short_news\/finland-to-update-transgender-rights-law-in-autumn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">amendments to the legislation on transgender persons<\/a>, advocated for by Prime Minister Sanna Marin, a 36-year-old from the Social Democratic Party, who also brings &#8220;[&#8230;] to motivation the personal, not to say personalistic, fact that she grew up in a &#8216;rainbow family.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arguably the thorniest aspect, <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/lgbt-pride-at-the-finnish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as iFamNews has already pointed out<\/a>, is that of &#8220;sex change&#8221; for little boys and girls as young as 15 years old, strongly advocated by some transgender activist groups, who claim that &#8220;[&#8230;] children are aware of their gender from an early age.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/it?s=paivi+rasanen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">P\u00e4ivi R\u00e4s\u00e4nen<\/a>, MP and former minister of the interior, does not agree with this. She was in court for &#8220;homophobia&#8221; charges simply because she quoted the Bible which, as we all know, says that &#8220;male and female God created them.&#8221; Fortunately, this March she was acquitted of all charges. P\u00e4ivi disagrees, even though <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/courage-p-ivi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the judicial proceedings against her were reopened in June<\/a> despite a full acquittal because\u2013imagine that\u2013freedom of thought and expression displease the state ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P\u00e4ivi R\u00e4s\u00e4nen, therefore, addresses a parliamentary question in writing to her country&#8217;s government with respect to the quality of &#8220;gender reassignment&#8221; treatments, calling for the need for thorough investigation to ensure the safety of people, especially the youngest and most fragile ones. This was reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kdlehti.fi\/2022\/08\/09\/transhoitojen-laadusta-on-tehtava-riippumaton-selvitys-paivi-rasanen-vetoaa-hallitukseen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in an article published on the website of KD Lehti<\/a>, the weekly newspaper of the Finnish Christian Democrats party, to which R\u00e4s\u00e4nen belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MP is especially concerned about the perceived LGBT+ ideological drift in Finland, which seems to be copying the bad example of British legislation, which was too lax until someone grasped the scope of the damage that casual and disrespectful procedures at the delicate stage of adolescence could create for young people. One example is that of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/infamous-children-s-gender-clinic-in-uk-ordered-to-shut-down\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tavistock clinic, currently in the eye of the storm<\/a> for superficial not to say downright improper practices, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/it?s=Keira+Bell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">after the case of Keira Bell<\/a> reached the headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As P\u00e4ivi R\u00e4s\u00e4nen argues, currently in Finland, as well as in the United Kingdom, &#8220;[&#8230;] gender dysphoria is approached mainly from an ideological direction, which aims at acceptance of all sexualities. [&#8230;] this approach leads to a lack of critical examination of treatment methods. There have been messages from child psychiatry professionals talking about pressure from organizations with ideological interests, which have succeeded in silencing scientific evaluation and open discussion,&#8221; she says, calling on parliament &#8220;not to supinely accept what will be proposed, but to carefully evaluate and investigate in order to avoid any abuse that will later be too late to regret.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finnish MP calls on the government not to comply supinely with the Trans Act update, but to conduct the necessary
