Sometimes scientific studies can be useful even when the findings are intuitively obvious — unless they are suppressed for producing unintended results:

A prominent doctor and trans rights advocate admitted she deliberately withheld publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study on the effect of puberty blockers on American children — after finding no evidence that they improve patients’ mental health.

Chemically preventing children’s normal physical development to reinforce a delusional belief that they are members of the opposite sex does not benefit their mental health. Most of us could have figured that out for ourselves. But the results seem to have taken Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy off guard.

Olson-Kennedy told the New York Times that she believes the study would be “weaponized” by critics of transgender care for kids, and that the research could one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.”

Here’s what they have been doing with our tax money:

For the National Institutes of Health-funded study, researchers chose 95 kids — who had an average age of 11 — and gave them puberty blocking drugs starting in 2015. …

After following up with the youths for two years, the treatments did not improve the state of their mental health…

If Josef Mengele had conducted the study, even fewer people would have been surprised by the results.
