The most interesting thing about this story is that the New York Times is willing to publish it: “U.S. Study on Puberty Blockers Goes Unpublished Because of Politics, Doctor Says.”

This was the study:

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.

How well were they doing? One quarter of them reported depression or suicidal tendencies before the treatments began. Rather shockingly, the average age of kids in the study was eleven.

But Dr. Olson-Kennedy, who oversaw the project, hasn’t reported her findings. Why not?

In the nine years since the study was funded by the National Institutes of Health, and as medical care for this small group of adolescents became a searing issue in American politics, Dr. Olson-Kennedy’s team has not published the data. Asked why, she said the findings might fuel the kind of political attacks that have led to bans of the youth gender treatments in more than 20 states, one of which will soon be considered by the Supreme Court.

“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.”

It takes more than nine years, apparently. And in the meantime, thousands of children are being drugged and mutilated.

Will there ever be a day of reckoning for the politically-inspired enablers of the “trans” movement? Let’s hope so.
