Data: U.S. Hospitals Transitioned Nearly 6,000 Kids From 2019-2023
‘Patients are being harmed by sex transition. That cannot be disputed … The medical profession has lost its way.’
A groundbreaking study from the renowned Mayo Clinic has revealed that puberty blockers may have irreversible harm on boys – the exact opposite message that transgender activists perpetuate. The study casts doubt on the safety of so-called "gender-affirming care," and presents a possible link to cancer with puberty blockers.
The preprint study found that the use of puberty blockers on male children can result in mild to severe testicular atrophy.
The study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, utilized samples from the Mayo Clinic’s Pediatric Testicular Biobank for Fertility Preservation.
The scientific study examined testicular specimens from 87 biological males under the age of 18 who were undergoing fertility preservation surgery. Of the group, there were 16 who were gender dysphoric boys ranging in age from 10 to 16. Of these 16 patients, nine took puberty blockers between 3 and 52 months.
Two of the nine transgender patients who were taking puberty blockers exhibited unusual testicular features upon examination – one exhibited abnormalities in both testicles, including incomplete development of the tunica albuginea that protects the testes.
A 12-year-old boy who was on puberty blockers for 14 months showed 59% testicular atrophy along with microlithiasis – small clusters of calcium linked to testicular cancer.
A 14-year-old boy who took puberty blockers for more than 4 years had over 90% of the cells responsible for sperm production stunted at an early age, according to researchers.
The study questions whether puberty blockers are truly reversible as LGBTQ activists claim. Researchers present possible evidence that gender-affirming care with puberty blockers could alter gene expression patterns and potentially affect male fertility permanently.
This study presents a conversation about the need for more research into the potential dangers of puberty blockers on young males.
Author J.K. Rowling – a prominent critic of the transgender agenda – promoted the findings of the study on her X social media page.
"'Steward bells began ringing, but it was hard to learn anything... the Titanic’s passengers began exploring for an answer...' Walter Lord, A Night to Remember," Rowling wrote.

Woke ideology has been infiltrating the American educational system, and parents are getting fed up.
And Lauren Chen is one of those parents.
“There are people out there, activists who are determined to groom your children to embrace a dangerous and hedonistic lifestyle because it furthers their own ideology,” she says.
Chen reports that in a very shocking story out of Colorado, teachers were secretly grooming students into embracing transgenderism.
This happened to the point to where one of those students attempted suicide.
Now, parents at the school are suing.
A Daily Mail headline concerning the matter reads, “Parents are suing over claims teachers encouraged their sixth-grade daughters to join LGBTQ club but to keep it a secret: Girls were told ‘if they are not happy in their bodies they are transgender.’”
“There is absolutely no reason,” Chen says, “why a school should have an LGBTQ club in the first place. But not only do these clubs exist, but they’re actually being held in secret with parents actively being sidelined in their own children’s development because these teachers — they’re activists — and they think they know better than you.”
America First Policy Institute and Illumine Legal filed the lawsuit against Poudre School District on behalf of the parents, whose sixth-grade daughters attended Wellington Middle-High School.
According to reports, the students who attended the club were encouraged to hide any discussions on polyamory, puberty blockers, transgenderism, gender identity, sexuality, suicide, and name and pronoun changes from their parents.
Chen believes this is the reason why school choice is so important.
“If you’re not able to homeschool, which would be preferable,” she explains, “you have to know that sending your kids to these public schools — you could be the most conservative, God-fearing family on Earth, but if your child is spending what, 9:00-3:00 or 8:00-3:00 every single day surrounded by these leftist activists, you can bet your bottom dollar they are absorbing the things that they are being taught.”
