My name is Silje Schevig and I am a clinical psychologist from Norway. In my podcast “Snakk med Silje», in English “Talk with Silje”. Dr. Erica Anderson is my first international guest.
In this episode we are discussing the harms of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones. We also discuss how the society can influence more children to believe they are transgender and harm safe spaces for women. We also problematize how trans activism can also harm the patient safety and why there is an increase in girls with gender dysphoria.
I am myself critical about gender affirming care to children and adolescents, especially medically transitioning children through puberty blockers. I think we do more harm than good in how we deal with this issue today. I met Dr. Anderson at an international conference addressing gender affirming care to children and adolescents.
Dr. Anderson is a clinical psychologist and consultant helping gender incongruent young people and their families. In her TV career in Sweden, Erica broke barriers as the first openly trans character on prime-time TV in the series "Alt for Sverige", which led to her being nominated for two GayGala awards, she also won the award for transgender person of the year.
She has previously been president of USPATH, which is the US Professional Association for Transgender Health and a board member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, as well as president of the Northern California Group Psychotherapy Society and chair of Joan's House Shelter. Erica also has a master's degree in theology.
