The overall finding of "no change" was based on a group average - or mean - of those scores, given at different points in time.

This seems really idiotic but they just cancelled out the good and bad results and just yadda yadda yaddaed that into saying no change.

It’s not like “no change” is a positive result. If a medication has no effect then you shouldn’t be prescribing it. Combined with the data that they had that 90 percent or so children with gender dysphoria that weren’t prescribed blockers had their gd resolve by the time they were 18, compared with 100 percent of children prescribed blockers going onto cross-sex hormones. Thats compelling evidence that puberty is the cure for children with gender dysphoria and that puberty blockers have a net negative effect.

However, I think the real issue that this exposes is that the pro-trans side doesn’t want to cure childhood gender dysphoria because if it’s curable then it can’t be used as cover for the middle-aged AGPs.
