Leak: Admin greenlit child ‘trans’ drugs despite knowing they increased suicide risk

  • last month
CV NEWS FEED // According to an email obtained via litigation, the Biden-Harris administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) greenlit hormonal drugs for children despite acknowledging that it could lead to an increased suicide rate among minors.

The January 2022 internal email was sent by Clinical Team Leader Shannon Sullivan of the FDA’s Division of General Endocrinology to Theresa Kehoe, MD, the division’s director. The division’s Deputy Director Naomi Lowy was copied on the email.

Sullivan referred to a “safety review” of puberty blockers that was conducted years earlier. She described that a “handful” of the patients in the review “were transgender kids using the drugs off-label.”

“We did find increased risk of depression and suicidality, as well as increased seizure risk,” Sullivan wrote, adding, “there is definitely a need for these drugs to be approved for gender transition.”

The Daily Signal Managing Editor Tyler O’Neil reported that “conservative nonprofit America First Legal obtained the email in the discovery process of a lawsuit.”


The legal group had sued the Biden-Harris FDA “for illegally concealing records related to the off-label use of ‘puberty blockers’ and cross-sex hormones on children,” O’Neil reported.

America First Legal wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday afternoon: “Our litigation just exposed that Biden’s FDA recommended approving puberty blockers to minors despite noting that these drugs are associated with an ‘increased risk of depression and suicidality.’”

America First Legal Senior Advisor Ian Prior told the Signal:

It is shocking and unacceptable that the FDA would admit that puberty blockers cause suicidal ideation and depression, yet in the same breath recommend their approval for transgender ‘medical’ procedures for child

00:18January 2022 internal email was sent by clinical team leader Shannon Sullivan of the FDA's
00:24Division of General Endocrinology to Teresa Kehoe, MD, the division's director. The
00:31division's deputy director, Naomi Lowy, was copied on the email. Sullivan referred
00:36to a safety review of puberty blockers that was conducted years earlier. She described
00:42that a handful of the patients in the review were transgender kids using the drugs off-label.
00:50We did find increased risk of depression and suicidality, as well as increased seizure
00:55risk, Sullivan wrote, adding, there is definitely a need for these drugs to be approved for
01:01gender transition. The Daily Signal Managing editor, Tyler O'Neill, reported that conservative
01:07nonprofit America First Legal obtained the email in the discovery process of a lawsuit.
01:13The legal group had sued the Biden Harris FDA for illegally concealing records related
01:18to the off-label use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on children, O'Neill
01:25reported. America First Legal wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Thursday afternoon, our
01:31litigation just exposed that Biden's FDA recommended approving puberty blockers to
01:36minors despite noting that these drugs are associated with an increased risk of depression
01:42and suicidality. America First Legal senior advisor Ian Pryor told The Signal, it is shocking
01:50and unacceptable that the FDA would admit that puberty blockers cause suicidal ideation
01:56and depression, yet in the same breath recommend their approval for transgender, medical, procedures
02:02for children. The advocates of these brutal practices on children claim that they are
02:07necessary to prevent suicide and depression, but in reality, the treatments themselves
02:13cause the very thing they claim they are trying to prevent. This barbarism has no place in
02:18a civilized society, and it's time for the federal government to follow the lead of Europe
02:23in banning these experiments on children, Pryor emphasized. UK Court upholds order protecting
02:30minors from puberty blockers. In his report, O'Neill noted that the email contradicts
02:36a talking point widely used by LGBTQ activists to justify subjecting minor children to puberty
02:43blockers and other transgender procedures. Many activists claim that children struggling
02:49with gender dysphoria must receive experimental drugs to make their bodies resemble bodies
02:54of the opposite sex to stop them from committing suicide, he wrote. Yet the FDA study suggested
03:01these drugs actually increase the risk of suicide. The results of a long-term study
03:07out of Finland, released earlier this year, appeared to refute such claims. Catholic Vote
03:13reported in February. Dr. Rita Kurtic-Heltiala, one of the lead researchers for the study,
03:20said that it is most unethical for so-called gender clinics to bring up the prospect of
03:25suicide when talking to parents when they are considering transgender procedures.
03:31It's not based on facts, she said, referring to the reportedly common question clinicians
03:37ask of parents. Would you rather have a living son or a dead daughter? Study. Trans procedures
03:44do not reduce youth suicide. Former U.S. Congressman and retired plastic surgeon Greg Gansk, M.D.,
03:52scrutinized the popular pro-LGBTQ talking point last December in a column for the Des
03:58Moines Register. What a choice. Either get your child castrated or they will kill themselves.
04:05But is it true? Gansk wrote, In an article published in Plastic Surgery News, my friend
04:11and colleague Dr. Mark Constantajan, who is an expert on childhood abuse and body shame,
04:17an extensive review of the medical literature. He found that transgender adolescents do have
04:23higher incidence of suicide in comparison to cisgender patients, but they also have
04:2825 to 75 percent higher chances of adverse childhood experiences, A.C.E.s, such as drug
04:36abuse, eating disorders, depression, and childhood trauma.
