Sarah Bennett+FollowNIH’s Puberty Blocker Study: What’s Really Up?Did you know the NIH has spent over $3 million studying if puberty blockers help trans kids’ mental health? Kids as young as 8 are part of this, but the long-term effects are still a big question mark. Some experts say the risks (like bone issues and sexual development problems) aren’t fully disclosed. The study’s being hyped by advocacy groups, but critics worry it’s more about pushing an agenda than real science.
