‘In light of the recent spate of transgender ideology-inspired violent extremism and domestic terrorism, Including some of the shootings at schools and churches and most recently, Charlie Kirk, the Oversight Project and I want to know what the government knows about the psychological conditions of this new and coveted population of transgender children who are now growing into adults,’ Howell said.<\/p>\n
‘It seems to me, in light of recent disclosures, including the America First Legal v. FDA [suit] that the government was well aware that these types of therapies, surgeries and cultural celebration and praising of this class of people was dangerous and led to increases in suicide rates, depression and other psychological conditions which all too often are manifesting in violent tendencies.’<\/p>\n
In 2024, America First Legal \u2013 founded by Trump confidant Stephen Miller \u2013 sued for the release of any FDA records on off-label uses for puberty blockers and ‘cross-sex hormones.’<\/p>\n
Howell said there is public interest in the study\u2019s publication because it may ‘map out’ why or whether the government has been aware of the ‘massive, growing problem’ but declined to publicize for ‘politically-correct reasons.’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
While NIH declined comment to Fox News Digital citing ongoing litigation, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has been very critical of the types of drugs the Oversight Project is also concerned about.<\/p>\n
Kennedy has called puberty blockers for minors ‘castration drugs,’ and suggested young people cannot be considered prescient enough to make such life-changing medical decisions.<\/p>\n
‘Minors cannot drive, vote, join the army, get a tattoo, smoke, or drink, because we know that children do not fully understand the consequences of decisions with life-long ramifications,’ he wrote on social media.<\/p>\n
‘The more I learn, the more troubled I have become about giving puberty blockers to youth,’ Kennedy said in May 2024.<\/p>\n
As secretary, Kennedy urged doctors to reconsider child sex-change operations in a formal letter obtained by the Daily Caller in May.<\/p>\n
‘HHS expects you promptly to make the necessary updates to your treatment protocols and training for care for children and adolescents with gender dysphoria to protect them from these harmful interventions,’ it read.<\/p>\n
Neal Cornett, a lead attorney in the case, told Fox News Digital he would also like to see any internal NIH reports on the physiological effects of related drugs Lupron and Supprelin.<\/p>\n
‘Imagine that you\u2019re 14 years old \u2013 you take some kind of puberty blocker \u2013 you\u2019re basically stunted, your bones aren\u2019t growing, you have osteoporosis at the age of 15\u2026 that’s going to do a psychological number on you,’ Cornett said.<\/p>\n

Howell said there is an absolute connection, if allegations bear out, between the Tuskegee Experiments of the mid-20th century on African Americans and studies testing out puberty blockers on 21st century children.<\/p>\n
‘When I first read [of the study] \u2013 I was reminded of Tuskegee Experiments on African Americans [where the uniformed U.S. Public Health Service] gave them drugs… to test out treatments there; horrific events,’ he said.<\/p>\n
Fox News Digital also reached out to the Children\u2019s Hospital of Los Angeles, which was listed as the affiliate medical center for Olson-Kennedy. A number listed for Olson-Kennedy’s California practice was disconnected.<\/p>\n
She told the Times in October 2024 she intended then to publish the data but blamed delays on funding cuts \u2014 a claim the NIH denied, the paper reported.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
