Shocking Study Challenges Transgender Mental Health Claims About Puberty Blockers

A shocking new study found that puberty blockers offer "no statistically significant positive improvement" in reducing depression among trans-identified young people. Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post joins "The Inside Story" podcast to unpack the results and their broader implications.


He’s called the delayed release “deeply troubling” and warns that the push for gender-affirming care could become one of the greatest medical scandals of our time. Despite sweeping claims that puberty blockers improve mental health, the data didn’t support that narrative. 


The study, which was reportedly withheld from publication last year, has not yet been peer-reviewed, and the results are making waves. Listen to hear Showalter shed light on the data as well as the broader issues at play.
