Long-awaited study finds puberty blockers have little impact on mental health of trans-identified youth

Dear readers,

The use of puberty-blocking drugs has no statistically significant positive impact on the depression rates of trans-identified youth struggling with gender dysphoria, according to a long-awaited study led by a leading proponent of so-called "gender-affirming care."

The advocacy group Genspect, which describes itself as "an international alliance promoting a non-medicalized approach to .... gender," published a post on X Thursday highlighting that "the long-suppressed Olson-Kennedy study on puberty blockers is finally out."

Puberty blockers are often prescribed to children exhibiting gender dysphoria to stop their natural puberty.
