I’ve requested the subject-level Brain Sex Index data behind Kurth et al., 2022. Brain sex in transgender women is shifted towards gender identity. JCM.

While I wait, some open questions on the published methods and conclusions.

A 2017 case study of a boy who was put on puberty blockers shows a significant drop in intellectual capacity: a 15 point drop in verbal comprehension, a 10 point drop in global IQ, and a 9 point loss in working memory.

Make no mistake: blockers have had a significant, devastating impact on this boy’s intelligence. That 10-15 points could be the difference between graduating from college and not, or between going to college and not; or even between living independently and not. This child’s life has been forever altered, his mental abilities forever limited, all so that he can more effectively imitate the opposite sex.

The intellectual damage being done to these kids is the worst of it, but IQ is by no means the only thing they lose when taking this medication. Dr. Marci Bowers, president of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, was recorded admitting that blockers destroy a child’s ability to experience arousal and orgasm in adulthood so effectively that 100% of boys who take them between the ages of 9 and 11 are affected in this manner.

Puberty blockers destroy children’s futures. They are toxic, dangerous drugs that are otherwise prescribed either as medications of last resort to treat aggressive prostate cancer, or as chemical castration medication for sex offenders. They are so toxic, in fact, that the sex offenders who are ordered to take them are often taken off of them by doctors’ orders so as to preserve their health. Prescribing them to children in order to treat a condition that resolves itself 84% of the time is insanity.

And let’s be honest – that’s not why these kids are being given this medication. They are being given this medication because the adult transvestites who control the narrative resent the fact that they themselves have trouble passing. They are willing to destroy these childrens’ intellectual and sexual futures in order to make them more effective mimics of the opposite sex.

Now the UK is running a puberty blocker trial. The children who participate will be irrevocably harmed in the process — and the people running study know this. The data is already in, and to continue destroying children’s futures as a sop to trans-identifying adults is inexcusable.

[Elaine Miller | Venus Envy @GussieGrips]

study of a single child on puberty blockers showed he lost significant IQ. There are lots of unanswered qs on what blockers do in children and impacts won’t be known until adulthood. Which has implications for the proposed pathways trial <sigh>
