The left has weaponized nearly every sacred institution we hold dear: education, the justice system, and worst of all, medicine. What’s truly terrifying is that their obsession with political ideology has trumped truth, facts, and even the well-being of the people. We saw this horrifying shift unfold during COVID, where so-called “medical experts” traded their credibility for political loyalty. They abandoned their profession, not to help Americans but to push a left-wing agenda. And now it’s happening again with the dangerous trans agenda targeting vulnerable teens. A new study exposes the lie at the heart of the entire trans movement, but what’s even more alarming is that the experts know it—and they’re hiding it to keep the gravy train rolling.
An influential doctor and advocate of adolescent gender treatments said she had not published a long-awaited study of puberty-blocking drugs because of the charged American political environment.
The doctor, Johanna Olson-Kennedy, began the study in 2015 as part of a broader, multimillion-dollar federal project on transgender youth. She and colleagues recruited 95 children from across the country and gave them puberty blockers, which stave off the permanent physical changes — like breasts or a deepening voice — that could exacerbate their gender distress, known as dysphoria.
The researchers followed the children for two years to see if the treatments improved their mental health. An older Dutch study had found that puberty blockers improved well-being, results that inspired clinics around the world to regularly prescribe the medications as part of what is now called gender-affirming care.
But the American trial did not find a similar trend, Dr. Olson-Kennedy said in a wide-ranging interview. Puberty blockers did not lead to mental health improvements, she said, most likely because the children were already doing well when the study began.
“They’re in really good shape when they come in, and they’re in really good shape after two years,” said Dr. Olson-Kennedy, who runs the country’s largest youth gender clinic at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.
