Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
U of W falsifying research.

According to the article, they lied about the results of the research and then while in discussions about what to do, they decided to do nothing because they were getting fawned over by the rat media and that made them feel good.
The left is so fucked up that they would put kids on medications that did nothing for them in the category of depression. Just so fucking in humane. They will literally hurt our youth to further their agenda.
The reporter who was persistent in his digging was then accused of being a "Conservative with an agenda" when the facts came out. Classic rat behavior.

UW declined to correct misleading info on puberty blocker study after fawning media coverage
UW Researchers said the study showed puberty blockers lower rates of depression
The study claimed that "gender-affirming care," such as puberty blockers, led to positive mental health outcomes for transgender teenagers, while transgender teen patients who did not receive such care saw their mental health situation continue to deteriorate.
The study's publication was accompanied by a glowing press release highlighting that "gender-affirming care… dramatically reduces" depression in teenage transgender patients, calling such care "lifesaving."
"Researchers recently found that gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary adolescents caused rates of depression to plummet," the release read.
The release also took aim at political opponents of such medical intervention, specifically calling out Republican-led efforts that have sought to limit its spread.
However, UW's characterization of the findings was called into question by independent journalist Jesse Singal, who began emailing questions to researchers in an attempt to gain access to the data used to draw their conclusions.
Researchers did not provide the data to Singal, who later published a lengthy Substack article attempting to poke significant holes in the study's conclusions.
"What’s surprising, in light of all these quotes, is that the kids who took puberty blockers or hormones experienced no statistically significant mental health improvement during the study," Singal wrote in the article. "The claim that they did improve, which was presented to the public in the study itself, in publicity materials, and on social media (repeatedly) by one of the authors, is false."
Singal also raised questions about the statistical approach, which could not be verified without access to the data the researchers used to draw their conclusions. He argued that the inability to verify the data called the "validity of this research" into question.

That little farm and vet school in the Eastern part of the state has been kicking their ass in research for a decade now.
Sad.
