Medical Doctor Hid $9.7M Study Showing Children Do Not Benefit from Puberty Blockers
A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that transgender hormone treatments do not benefit and may harm children
Transgender activist and medical doctor Johanna Olson-Kennedy intentionally delayed and continues to withhold the publication of a $9.7 million taxpayer-funded study showing that puberty blockers do not improve the mental health of children with gender dysphoria.
Olson-Kennedy spoke to the New York Times to explain why she continues to avoid publishing the taxpayer-funded study after almost ten years.
“I do not want our work to be weaponized,” she said. “It has to be exactly on point, clear and concise. And that takes time.”
Best-selling children’s author J.K. Rowling summarized Olson-Kennedy’s explanation for withholding the data fairly well in an X post viewed by more than 15 million readers.
“We must not publish a study that says we’re harming children because people who say we’re harming children will use the study as evidence that we’re harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children,” Rowling wrote.
