The research misconduct scandal at Oslo University Hospital that we've been warning about for nearly two years is a symptom of years of impunity, the pathologization of an already vulnerable community, and a lack of accountability. Please, Minister, help us. The solution is very simple. Thank you.

Vestre på minnemarkeringen etter 25. juni i dag. Wow!

«Den uredelige forskningen er bare ett av mange overgrep pasientgruppen er blitt utsatt for i årtier. Det er ikke opplagt at det kan eller skal tilgis.» Godt innlegg av @ninasteinkopf.bsky.social!

A major scandal has broken out in Norway at NBTK, the national gender clinic that has notoriously limited access to care. Researchers, including SEGM affiliate Anne Wæhre, engaged in substantial misconduct and ethical violations in their research on trans people. www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/43RE...

David Ruiz Banos holder appell

Om Fri kan samle inn 2millioner burde hvertfall folk støtte denne til å klare målet sitt!

Happy news today: I’ve been promoted to full professor! 🥰 So grateful to my colleagues, students, PhD students and my friends, and most of all to my wonderful princes, who care for me and feed me when work gets intense ❤️ And to my adorable children, who bring me joy every day ❤️

If a transgender patient visits a psychiatrist in a hospital, is it fair to say that they have «severe psychiatric morbidity»? We believe research should be more rigorous. With 49 co-authors, including: @maxkorbmacher.bsky.social @erininthemorning.com @natacha.bsky.social @frende.bsky.social

happy to contribute to this letter. cannot stress enough how important it is to talk about these practices that dirty the integrity of science and research.

Our letter of concern about the Finnish study is now published in Acta Paediatrica. The Finnish study has received a total of 5 letters/commentaries, so far. Most of the overlapping concerns are statistical/methodological. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Our letter of concern to Acta Paediatrica on the recent Finnish registry study has been accepted and will be published soon. We raise concerns about the statistical approach, but perhaps more importantly, about how the study’s findings have been communicated.

Lenge leve bekymringsbrevene! Ikke fordi de alltid har rett, men fordi vitenskapen trenger rom for faglige ytringer og saklig debatt, spesielt der forskningen får konsekvenser for mennesker som allerede betaler en høy pris for andres ord.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a note on the Finnish registry study on transgender people. Using fairly basic statistics, one can show that some of the variable choices are problematic. At the end, I also give a few examples of what the study can be said to show. davidrbanos.wordpress.com/blog/

Takk til @jonmartinlarsen.bsky.social for støttende innlegg. Og til @aninehartmann.bsky.social og @frende.bsky.social for bistand med å klage Aftenposten inn til PFU. Jeg er glad i faglig debatt, så lenge den er saklig og fri for personangrep og beskyldninger.

David and Kris are absolute GOATs. Their work in countering the "explosive growth" narrative and other transphobic rhetoric Norway produces and exports is amazing, and I'm frankly honored to have been able to contribute to the work in what little ways I can www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

Nå er det bare noen uker til forskningsetikksaken avgjøres i en nasjonal etikk-komité. Om to dager skal @davidrbanos.bsky.social og jeg snakke om den på Skeiv Kunnskapspub. 📆 Onsdag, 13. mai 🕖 Dørene åpner kl. 18:00, foredraget starter kl. 19:00 📍Sted: Pridehuset, Storgata 41, Oslo🤝 Åpent for alle

Sad state of affairs in the Norwegian discourse on trans research when months after Oslo University Hospital was condemned for non-consensual research on 1700 minors, we're still having to point out that the institution known for abusing its trans patients may have broken the rules on purpose

Den forskningsetiske komiteen legger ikke akkurat fingrene imellom i sin siste fellelse av OUS’ forskning på transpersoner. Jeg er intervjuet, og mener de involverte må fritas fra oppgavene sine inntil saken er ferdig gransket.

"At seniorforskere med betydelig makt og innflytelse ikke ivaretar pasienters og forskningsdeltakeres rettigheter, og ikke anerkjenner sakens alvor, er dypt urovekkende." www.forskersonen.no/debattinnleg...

We’ll present the case at this physical and digital seminar on Dec 2nd.

We've responded to the researchers in the journal where they published their original article. Here we raise further ethical concerns based on the verdict from the research integrity comittee. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

This spring, I coauthored (proof-read, really) this short conference paper on the differences between the two only public pathways for gender affirming care in Norway. Now, one of the clinics has been closed to minors, and the other has been caught doing illegal and unethical research on minors.

Vi har funnet enda en internasjonalt publisert forskningsartikkel der OUS har brukt data fra tusenvis av transpersoners pasientjournaler uten samtykke eller etisk godkjenning. Tidsskriftet Acta Paediatrica har publisert bekymringene våre i dag. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

Oslo is hosting a great conference on trans health this fall (physical and streamed). Registration just opened: www.hksoslo.no/conference2025

På mandag lanserte vi en rapport der vi anslår at 51 % av pasientene som har gjennomgått kjønnsidentitetsutredning ved Oslo universitetssykehus har opplevd det som konverteringsterapi 🚩 Onsdag gikk @pkinorge.bsky.social ut med anbefaling om at de som er berørt bør kontakte politiet 👮 En tråd 🧵
