Suppressed gender study that debunks ideology quietly released

For years already, promoters of the transgender ideology, those pushing chemicals for kids to delay puberty and even body disfiguring surgeries, have claimed that those “treatments” are necessary for the mental health of the child.

Rather than counsel children for a period of time while they sort through their dysphoria, which mostly they do, that segment of the medical industry pushes hard for extreme actions.

Many parents even have been threatened that their confused son or daughter probably will attempt suicide if they don’t agree to pursue that agenda.

A National Institutes of Health study essentially debunked that completely, but was suppressed. Until now.

A report from the Washington Examiner reveals that the NIH study “was unceremoniously posted online last month.”

The author, Johanna Olson-Kennedy and others, posted online the document that confirmed “depression symptoms in adolescents diagnosed with gender dysphoria ‘did not change significantly over 24 months’ of being on puberty blockers.”

Congress has begun investigating the circumstances of the suppression of the study’s tax-funded results.

Olson-Kennedy had explained to the New York Times last year she and others deliberately withheld publication of the federally funded research, claiming they did “not want our work to be weaponized.”

It got its start in 2015 with a $5.7 million NIH grant, which eventually totaled nearly $10 million.

The results were that there were essentially no changes in depression symptoms after children were on the so-called transgender drugs.

A Dutch study, from several years earlier, did claim that those drugs helped.

“Olson-Kennedy and her co-authors argue in the paper that, although the patients’ mental health remained stable during the study period, ‘it is likely that puberty blockers prevent the deterioration of mental health,’” the Examiner reported.

But that agenda-driven conclusion immediately was blasted for being more of a hypothesis than a study finding.

“A clear acknowledgment of their data would reveal that puberty blockers offer no mental health benefit. Despite this, the release of these results had been delayed for years,” said Dr. Kurt Miceli. “The full study once again demonstrates a lack of high-quality evidence supporting the so-called ‘affirming’ model.”

Because of Olson-Kennedy’s political decision to withhold the tax-paid study, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and others launched an investigation.

Olson-Kennedy, the report revealed, “runs the Center for Transyouth Health and Development through Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and is one of the most prominent youth gender physicians in the United States.”

The operation has given dozens of children chemicals and even “cross-sex” surgical procedures, and one, Clementine Breen, weeks ago filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Olson-Kennedy.

The Department of Health and Human Services has cited the political influences involved in the issue.

It was reported earlier that then Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., now secretary of state, openly wondered if the NIH was “hiding” the dangers of sex-change treatments.

Rubio at the time accused the activists from “masquerad[ing] political ideology under a veil of scientific legitimacy.”
