Shocker! The self-proclaimed “experts” lecturing us to “trust the science” don’t actually want us to believe the actual science.
In an interview with the New York Times, a Los Angeles doctor has admitted to intentionally delaying - for nine years - the publication of her own taxpayer-funded study on pumping kids full of artificial hormones and putting them through permanently-altering gender mutilation procedures.
The reason? She worried its findings will convince people that sexually mutilating minors is wrong.
Whether any of us knew it or not, American citizens paid nearly $10 million for a study that monitored the development of 95 gender dysphoric children across the country, with the average age of the kids being only 11 years old. The study, led by prominent pro-trans advocate and “transyouth” director Johanna Olson-Kennedy, tested whether puberty blockers improved the mental health conditions of these minors.
Of course, she didn’t receive the answer she wanted. According to her study, kids with gender dysphoria who were treated with hormones didn't show any improvement in their mental health after being pumped full of "affirming" chemicals.
It must be because her test subjects were already “in really good shape (mentally)” before the study began,” she reasoned to the NYT.
It turns out, Kennedy's findings contradicted the conclusion she'd reached from a previous study she conducted, revealing that around a quarter of teenagers were “depressed or suicidal before starting either puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.”

You’d think if Kennedy was confident in that conclusion, she’d have no problem explaining it in her findings. Instead, she refused to publish her study for nearly a decade, with the excuse that it was to prevent her “work from being weaponized.” That withholding of important information has led other experts - even pro-trans ones - to slam Olson-Kennedy for "sitting on data" that could have helped them in treating similar patients.
The New York Post reports:
Erica Anderson, a clinical psychologist and a transgender youth expert, told The Post she was “shocked” and “disturbed” about the decision to withhold publication of such vital research.
“We’re craving information about these medical treatments for gender questioning youth. Dr. Olson-Kennedy has the largest grant that’s ever been awarded in the US on the subject and is sitting on data that would be helpful to know,” she said.
She also wasn’t buying Olson-Kennedy’s rationale to hold back the study’s findings based on fear of backlash.
“It’s contrary to the scientific method. You do research, and then you disclose what the results are,” she said.
“You don’t change them, you don’t distort them, and you don’t reveal or not reveal them based on the reactions of others. You report as scientists what you’ve learned.”
But since that finding has now also proved inconvenient to her narrative, Kennedy doesn’t seem interested in addressing it. Which is about as "anti-science" as it gets.
And while we're at it, she owes the American people $10 million.
