Dr. Agnes Wold answers questions in the program "Ask Agnes Wold" on SR and has been a vocal critic in the debate about transgender care in recent years. When the new law was discussed in the web program Hotspot, she said that she is prepared to defy it if her grandchildren were to express gender dysphoria, writes ETC.
"If my grandson came and said, 'I was born in the wrong body,' I would do everything, everything, everything in my power to reverse it," she says in the program.
In an interview with ETC, she maintains her position.
Christopher Garplind, a program host in both SR and SVT, is furious about the statements.
"I'm ashamed to be paid by the same company that pays that fool," he writes on Instagram.
The host David Sundin also harshly criticized her, writing on the Threads platform that she should be "shunned."
Wold responds to the criticism in a statement to Aftonbladet:
"I would never in my life say that these two gentlemen should be thrown out of Sveriges Radio because I dislike their opinions on any issue. It is a very sad way to relate to debate, freedom of expression and democracy."
