The federal government has spent at least $6.8 million taxpayer dollars on grants funding transgender medical experiments on minors, a Daily Citizen investigation reveals.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is paying on three active, multi-year grants funding experiments testing the effects of opposite-sex hormones and so-called puberty blockers on minors. Worth a cumulative $16.4 million, the last of these grants won’t conclude until April 2026.
In 2015, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a subsidiary of HHS, promised to pay UCLA $9.7 million to conduct a study titled, “The Impact of Early Medical Treatment in Transgender Youth.”
In practice, the experiment involved injecting 95 gender confused kids with drugs designed to treat illnesses like prostate cancer and observing what happened to their brains. When it came time to release the results — that “puberty blockers did not lead to mental health improvements” — Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy and her colleagues demurred.
When The New York Times unearthed the buried study in October, Olson-Kennedy justified her decision:
Olson-Kennedy is referring to states that ban doctors from performing the transgender medical interventions on minors — the kinds of “treatments” she’s made a living off.
Even crazier? Taxpayers are still paying for a study they’ve yet to see. According to federal grant documents, HHS will pay the remaining $6.6 million it promised by January 2026.
HHS will conclude a seven-year, $3.7 million grant to Leland Stanford Junior University in May, which went toward studying “sex hormone effects on neurodevelopment” and “controlled puberty in transgender adolescents.”
A large portion of the experiment fell under the direction of Dr. Stephen M. Rosenthal — the co-founder and medical director of UCSF’s Child and Adolescent Gender Center and one of the four doctors, including Olson-Kennedy, responsible for the UCLA experiment.
What a coincidence.
According to the college’s grant proposal, Rosenthal played a key roll in sourcing kids to experiment on:
HHS’ third, and smallest, ongoing grant promises a cool $3 million to the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital to study, “The impact of pubertal suppression on adolescent, neural and mental health trajectories.”
More than 130 children participated in the study, which compared the wellbeing of those on puberty blockers with the wellbeing of those who haven’t.
In its grant proposal, the hospital admits that puberty blockers aren’t well researched:
The implications of these grants are staggering, proving not only that the government uses taxpayer money to experiment on children, but that gender activists don’t answer to the people funding them. These government grantees aggressively recruit kids into the transgender medical pipeline and aren’t afraid to hide study results to bolster their own narrative.
American families deserve to know what their taxes pay for. Kids deserve to know their government isn’t interested in conducting inhumane experiments — least of all on them.
Seems like a pretty simple ask.
