In a shocking revelation that highlights the troubling manipulation of medical research, Dr. Joanna Olsen-Kennedy, a prominent doctor and advocate for transgender rights, has admitted to withholding the results of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study. This study examined the effects of puberty blockers on children and found no evidence that these drugs improved patients’ mental health. Instead of making this information available to the public, Dr. Olsen-Kennedy feared critics of transgender care would use it. This bold admission raises serious ethical questions about the integrity of scientific research and the lengths to which some advocates will go to protect their agenda.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, followed 95 children who began taking puberty blockers around the age of 11. Initially, the expectation was that these treatments would enhance the mental well-being of the subjects. However, after two years, the results indicated that the teenagers experienced no improvement in their mental health. Rather than acknowledging the findings, Dr. Olsen-Kennedy downplayed the results, claiming the children were already in “really good shape.” This contradicts earlier data showing that about 25% of the participants had reported feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts before treatment. If these children were indeed thriving, one must wonder why they underwent such drastic interventions in the first place.
Critics of this decision to bury the study’s findings rightfully argue that it undermines ethical research standards and deprives the public of crucial scientific knowledge. The actions of Dr. Olsen-Kennedy illustrate a disturbing trend where narratives are prioritized over truth, particularly in the heated arena of gender identity and medical treatment for minors. If the data doesn’t support the preferred narrative, it can simply be swept under the rug. This smacks of an ideology that values conformity over reality, where the voices of children and their families may be overshadowed by a loud but increasingly unfounded mantra of ‘affirmation.’
Moreover, this revelation comes at a time when political victories regarding transgender treatment for minors have shifted. Notably, even the Vice President seems to be acknowledging a growing resistance to radical changes being pushed on children as politicians face increasing backlash from the public. This change in political rhetoric reflects a genuine uneasiness about the permanence of such medical interventions. Yet, while the political tide may be shifting, many children remain in precarious situations, subjected to what can only be described as medical experiments that could entail serious, lifelong consequences.
As if that wasn’t enough, reports of backlash are emerging from young female athletes nationwide. High schools and colleges see athletes protesting the inclusion of biological males in female sports. For example, the Bishop Brady High School girls’ soccer team recently boycotted a match against a team that included a transgender-identifying male. Such acts of defiance convey an encouraging message: women reclaim their space and stand against a system that has too often ignored their rights and realities.
This spirit of resistance is exactly what is needed. It illustrates a growing awareness that the ideal of inclusion must not come at the expense of fairness and safety for women. However, the mainstream narrative continues to shift, falsely claiming that progress hinges on ignoring biological facts and embracing subjective identities. As more female athletes speak out, it becomes increasingly clear that the fight against this ideology is far from over. Women must stand firm and refuse to participate in competitions, undermining their rights. They must demonstrate that the inclusion of biological males is not just a minor issue; it fundamentally alters the fabric of women’s sports.
The recent discoveries surrounding the repressed study on puberty blockers and the growing protests among female athletes highlight a broader conflict pitting traditional values against radical ideologies. The commitment to protecting children and ensuring fairness for women must take precedence over the whims of a vocal minority. Common sense, a grasp of biological reality, and the inherent rights of women and children must guide us through these turbulent times. The fight for reason and integrity in health care, education, and sports is ongoing, and it is one that ordinary citizens must continue to engage in unapologetically.
