The Left’s New Approach: Hide the Science

This only became known because Marshall, in the course of a legal fight over Alabama’s ban on children with gender dysphoria receiving experimental medical treatment, gained access to emails from Adm.

Skrmetti, a case about whether Tennessee’s ban on experimental medical treatments for children suffering from gender dysphoria violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection clause.

But this data won’t be released because “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,” writes New York Times reporter Azeen Ghorayshi, summarizing Olson-Kennedy’s reasoning.

“The leader of the long-running study said that the drugs did not improve mental health in children with gender distress and that the finding might be weaponized by opponents of the care,” states the article’s subhed.

Now it’s about hiding the science—at least when it comes to experimental gender transition medical procedures for children.

This study, which involved putting 95 children struggling with gender dysphoria on puberty blockers, was led by Dr.

At a bare minimum, we owe it to kids and their parents to give them the latest scientific data about these medical experimental treatment for gender dysphoria.

After all, the argument for providing these experimental medical treatments for children is that they will help the children’s mental health.

In other words, when it comes to how to medically treat children suffering from gender dysphoria, it’s not about the science.

But listen to the stories of detransitioners—who now regret having experimental trans medical treatment as minors that will affect their lives permanently—and it’s clear that this isn’t about politics.

Take the story of Clementine, who recently spoke to Billboard Chris, a Canadian activist who walks around wearing “billboards” that spur conversations about gender ideology and its effect on children.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH, in 2022 emailed Levine proposed new guidelines recommending that children be 14 or older to receive cross-sex hormones, 15 to get mastectomies, 16 for facial surgery, and 17 for hysterectomies.

Johanna Olson-Kennedy, a physician at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles who has long been involved in promoting experimental medical treatments for minors.

Skrmetti, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, a Republican, details how a prominent Biden-Harris administration official changed a medical group’s recommendations for treatment of transgender kids.
