• Effectuated an early-2023 parliamentary motion to ban child sex change (didn’t pass) and one soon to come (chance of succes much better).

• Successfully lobbied to prevent ‘conversion therapy ban’ legislation proposal.

• Revealed LGBT+ Denmark’s aim to take over treatment of Denmark’s gender challenged children and youth in collaboration with Gender GP.

• Established strong, reliable political partners in parliament.

• Established the DRR as a well-known and respected LGBT dissenting NGO (loathed and despised by our opponents, needless to say).

• Formed solid media relations with whom we work on broadening the public understanding of the issues facing children, families and the LGBT cause.

• International collaboration (e.g. Genspect) and Nordic partnership via Nordic Rainbow Council.

Translation of Dr. Astrid Højgaards Note:

AALBORG UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL -

Copy of note from 22.03.2023

Dear [redacted],

Chief Physician Astrid Højgaard

Today, the patient and I had a conversation in which he shared his thoughts regarding his detransition. He feels that things progressed too quickly, and there should have been more time for reflection before he actually began treatment. His treatment started at Rigshospitalet, and he felt that things moved too fast there. When he was transferred to us, he encountered a psychologist/psychiatrist who had a more ideological approach rather than a treatment based on the best scientific knowledge.

We discussed this, which is incredibly difficult, as we don’t have a diagnostic apparatus at our disposal to determine whether what we are doing is right. The only thing we have to work with is the statements people make when they come to us.

At the start of his treatment, the patient did not have a psychiatric diagnosis, but later received a diagnosis of mixed personality disorder, predominantly Borderline. He himself thinks that this diagnosis is actually the explanation for the discomfort he has felt, and that he misunderstood his situation, but also believes that the treatment system should have caught this.

I told him that I am truly sorry he feels regret, and that, of course, it is tragic that he has also had his testicles removed.

Currently, he is in a situation where he has gained some weight, and he has not received hormone treatment for about a month, so there is some urgency in starting the hormone treatment again. […]

Danish Rainbow Council’s Talk in Lisbon, September 2024

The Quote Mentioned by Jesper W. Rasmussen in his Genspect Presentation

Here is Jesper W. Rasmussen’s review of Speak No Evil, the film he mentioned and quoted from during the presentation. Though it has just been remade in English, we definitely recommend that you watch the original film - and watch it with as little prior knowledge of the plot as possible. If you can’t find a place where you can watch the original, we can probably find it for you.

Jesper saw the film just prior to deciding to co-found Danish Rainbow Council and has stated that it played a defining role in his decision to lead from the front in the resistance fight against extreme gender ideology.

“I watched Speak No Evil by Christian Tafdrup last night at a private screening. It proved an overwhelming experience. I dare say it's a small genre masterpiece. Completely uncompromising. And definitely my biggest film experience in ages - it hit me right in the gut for reasons I’ve decided to delve a bit into.

It’s almost unthinkable, that a Danish film, woke-formulaic as they are these days, can do what Tafdrup’s tale does—and of course, Tafdrup almost didn’t get the chance to do it, as he himself explained in an interesting Q&A afterwards.

The underlying theme is the gaslighting (self-deception) we constantly do to ourselves and each other. To avoid awkward moments. To not make anyone angry or upset. And all because we don’t trust our intuition, even though we sense with every fiber that something is terribly wrong. It’s wild to what extremes we, as humans, will go to just to avoid confrontation and awkwardness. To avert being viewed dimly by our peers. In the film, Christian Tafdrup takes this to extremes I’ve never seen in a Danish film - but not for cheap effect. It’s so well-told, natural, even beautiful at times in all its horrifying terror. Anyway, no spoilers from me.

I don’t know... the theme just felt incredibly relevant, important, and timely to me - also in relation to things I’ve experienced and regarding the things I’ve started engaging with politically. I’ve gotten much better at trusting my gut and taking action - but I had to learn it all the hard way. To re-learn it. Like so many others.

Some of us never learn - and the couple in the film certainly learn it too late. Or do they? Let me know what you think, if you dare to watch Speak No Evil."
