Mikael Landén vs. transgender people

Mikael Landén is a Swedish psychiatrist and anti-transgender activist.

Anti-transgender activism

Landén was an invited speaker at a 2023 anti-trans conference organized by the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine.

In 2024, Landen leaked a pre-publication paper by Sallie Baxendale to anti-trans activist Bernard Lane. Baxendale’s paper reflected Landén’s view that puberty blockade should be strictly controlled because of unknown risks, particularly cognitive effects.
