Long-Awaited Puberty Blockers Study Is Out In Pre-Print, Finding No Change In Kids' Mental Health

"In October, New York Times reporter Azeen Ghorayshi reported that the study’s lead author, Dr Johanna Olson-Kennedy, had long withheld the study, which finished gathering its data in 2021, from publication for political reasons. She did not want its null findings, which she found unexceptional, to be weaponized. This came after British researchers had also tried and failed to replicate the Dutch study’s finding that blockers improved mental health. Having explicitly hypothesized that blockers would improve mental health, the British researchers also sat on their null findings for years and finally published in 2021."
