TRANSparency. The byword of the American leftard next to follow the SCIENCE. Unless …

A radical pro-transgenderism-for-children "researcher" asked the government for around $10 million for a "study." Really, a propaganda effort as we now know.
One single study conducted in the Netherlands claimed that children benefit from being pumped full of sterilizing chemical castration agents.
This claim is widely derided. She wanted to prove that pumping children full of sex-change hormones is good for them.
Well, her study proved that children are not helped by the hormones.
And guess what she did next?
She decided to simply withhold the study that we paid $10 million for, because she doesn't want the study's conclusion to be used against transgender fanatics like herself.
Even the trans-crazy New York Times finds it curious that "science" is now being published or withheld from publication based on the political agenda of the "scientist" involved.
U.S. Study on Puberty Blockers Goes Unpublished Because of Politics, Doctor Says
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.
I repeat: We paid $10 million for this attempted propaganda operation and now that the proof is in that transgender drugs are harmful to children, they're locking up the results.
Sue them for the $10 million back and lodge FOIA after FOIA for the results. We fucking paid for them. They have no right to classify them as Top Secret just because the truth is other than what they prayed for.
An influential doctor and advocate of adolescent gender treatments said she had not published a long-awaited study of puberty-blocking drugs because of the charged American political environment.
The doctor, Johanna Olson-Kennedy, began the study in 2015 as part of a broader, multimillion-dollar federal project on transgender youth. She and colleagues recruited 95 children from across the country and gave them puberty blockers, which stave off the permanent physical changes -- like breasts or a deepening voice -- that could exacerbate their gender distress, known as dysphoria.
The researchers followed the children for two years to see if the treatments improved their mental health. An older Dutch study had found that puberty blockers improved well-being, results that inspired clinics around the world to regularly prescribe the medications as part of what is now called gender-affirming care.
But the American trial did not find a similar trend, Dr. Olson-Kennedy said in a wide-ranging interview. Puberty blockers did not lead to mental health improvements, she said, most likely because the children were already doing well when the study began.
No that's not true, as even the New York Time will note later.
So her claim is "there was no improvement because they were already doing swell."
Keep that in mind when they tell you we must give kids transgender drugs and surgeries or else they'll become suicidal and kill themselves.
She's saying the kids were doing great before the procedures!
"They're in really good shape when they come in, and they're in really good shape after two years," said Dr. Olson-Kennedy, who runs the country's largest youth gender clinic at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
That conclusion seemed to contradict an earlier description of the group, in which Dr. Olson-Kennedy and her colleagues noted that one quarter of the adolescents were depressed or suicidal before treatment.
Before the "study:" We need to give these kids transgender surgeries because they're depressed and/or suicidal
After the "study:" Never mind what I said about them being depressed and/or suicidal, their mental health hasn't improved only because their mental health was already swell!
