A $10 million study funded by taxpayers looked at 95 gender-distressed kids, aged 11 on average, who were given puberty blockers starting in 2015. These drugs delay changes like breast growth in girls and voice deepening in boys. The study found no mental health benefits for these kids. Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, a key activist in transgender treatments, chose not to publish the results. She claimed it’s because the data might be "weaponized. " This suggests she doesn't want evidence showing harm to be used against her cause.

Trust in healthcare has dropped since 2020. This is partly due to methods like the 6-foot distancing rule during COVID, which Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted wasn’t based on data. Similarly, Olson-Kennedy’s actions hint at putting ideology over evidence. Puberty blockers can lead to serious side effects, yet she downplays this by claiming kids were in “really good shape” going into and out of the treatment.

Giving children unnecessary surgical treatments is harmful and inhumane. Doctors should prioritize evidence-based care over pushing personal agendas. Children who receive these treatments may face lifelong consequences, including sterilization and body image issues. It’s crucial for doctors to acknowledge and address these harms rather than sweeping them under the rug.
