On this episode of the <a href="https://connorsinstitute.org/podcast">Utterly Moderate Podcast</a> we are joined again by <a href="https://www.lisaselindavis.com/">Lisa Selin Davis</a>, a writer who covers issues related to gender and gender affirming care.
Davis joins the program to discuss a recent UnHerd article <a href="https://unherd.com/2024/02/why-did-three-journals-reject-my-puberty-blocker-study/">&ldquo;Why did three journals reject my puberty-blocker study? Trans children deserve to know the facts,&rdquo;</a> written by Sallie Baxendale, a clinical neuropsychologist at University College London.
Baxendale details an academic article she wrote about the state of the research on whether puberty blockers are harmful to people&rsquo;s cognitive function. Baxendale argues that the responses that she got from peer reviewers suggest that ideology is clouding the judgement of the experts responsible for making sure that the best science is available to transgender children and their families when they are making life-altering decisions.
Lisa Selin Davis discusses this article and its broader meaning within the larger conversation about whether some sciences are allowing ideology to get in the way of doing the best research possible.
