Prominent psychiatrist Herman Vukušić took to social media to express his concerns regarding the recent visits to schools by members of the Možemo! party, specifically pointing out Ivana Kekin, who delivered a lecture at a high school in Zagreb. Vukušić directly criticized Kekin for denying the influence of social media on the rising rates of transsexuality both in Croatia and globally, a claim he backs with scientific evidence. He also mentioned psychologist Marina Grubić from KBC Zagreb, alleging that she is discussing transsexuality with children in schools, which further inflamed his concerns about the appropriateness of such conversations.

While acknowledging that he agrees with Kekin on the need for limiting smartphone usage among children and adolescents, Vukušić expressed disbelief at her simultaneous rejection of the correlation between social media and increasing transsexuality trends. He argues that this denial contradicts established scientific findings that highlight the impact of digital platforms on youth perceptions of gender identity. Vukušić's remarks add to a broader debate in Croatian society surrounding the topics of gender identity and the role of educational institutions in addressing these issues.

Vukušić's comments also reflect a growing tension in public discourse where the intersection of mental health, political opinions, and societal values are increasingly contested. His emphasis on scientific backing for his views raises questions about how educators and mental health professionals navigate discussions of sensitive topics such as gender identity in school settings. This incident may further ignite discussions on where the line should be drawn in educating children about complex social issues, and the implications such discussions have for parenting, policy-making, and social attitudes toward gender diversity in Croatia.
