Final NIH Report on Multi-Million Dollar Olson-Kennedy Study Shows Puberty Blockers Don’t Help Kids

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The final report for the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded “Trans Youth Care” study led by Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles was finally made public this month, after the government watchdog organization Oversight Project was forced to sue the agency for its release.   The multi-year, multi-million-dollar observational study examining physiological and psychological effects of puberty blockers and sex-denying hormones on youth with gender dysphoria has concluded, and the final report was submitted January 6, 2026.  This taxpayer-funded research was intended to evaluate longer-term impacts of these interventions. Its conclusions reinforce a growing body of evidence that puberty blockers lack reliable proof of benefit for children and carry long-known risks to bone density, fertility, sexual function, and development.   “The mass medical experiments on children need to stop,” said Doug Napier, Executive Chairman and CEO of 1792 Exchange. “These findings align with the emerging consensus that there is no benefit, but significant risks of harm to children, including impacts on bone density, fertility, sexual function, and cognitive development.”  “The Cass Review in the United Kingdom, the Finland study, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ own 2025 peer-reviewed report on pediatric gender dysphoria all underscore the serious concerns about the impacts of these experiments. And this study is yet another nail in the coffin for transgender ideology,” Napier continued.   The data on puberty blockers for children continue to show no significant positive mental or emotional health gains. Earlier peer-reviewed and preprint analyses from the same “Trans Youth Care” cohort—tracking depression symptoms, emotional health, …

1792 Exchange Applauds Apple for Improving Responsible Mineral Sourcing in East Africa

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Eagle Freedom Alliance released a shareholder engagement letter recognizing Apple for advancing more transparent and accountable mineral sourcing in East Africa. The letter was signed by investors and advisors connected to Apple shareholdings and highlighted Apple’s support for traceable tantalum supply chains. Signatories included 1792 Exchange, Innovest, GuideStone, Praxis, and the Eagle Freedom Fund.  The letter notes: “As leading innovators in fighting human trafficking and committed shareholders in Apple Inc., we are writing to express our deep appreciation and admiration for Apple’s exemplary work in forging an ethical and forward-thinking path in the sourcing of key minerals from East Africa. In particular, we commend Apple’s leadership in the Responsible Mineral Initiative and its efforts to bring transparency to the supply chain. We applaud your efforts to ensure that Apple’s supply chain reflects the highest standards of human rights and recognize your work with Africa’s only tantalum refinery, PowerX Ltd., and its vertically integrated mining operation, PowerM Ltd., in Rwanda.”  Apple’s leadership deserves recognition. Its approach demonstrates how a company can use its purchasing power to improve supply-chain transparency, reduce exploitation risks, strengthen resilience, and protect long-term shareholder value. Many companies still fail to adequately account for labor abuses deep within their supply chains, which exposes them to significant legal, reputational, operational, and financial …

Microsoft Directs Benevity to Drop SPLC Filter

After engagement from Inspire Investing and others, Microsoft has directed Benevity to stop using the SPLC’s “hate map” to filter nonprofits from its employee gift-matching program. In its “Max the Match” document, Microsoft states any nonprofit organization that “verifies its 501c3 or equivalent status will be available to Microsoft employees.” The Daily Signal highlighted several organizations, including the 1792 Exchange, engaging companies on behalf of shareholders to ensure charitable giving is viewpoint neutral. The 1792 Exchange is pleased to work alongside Inspire Investing, Bowyer Research, the Heritage Foundation, and many others in this important work. 1792 Exchange created this resource to track how companies are responding to the growing controversy surrounding the SPLC and Benevity and encourages companies that have made changes to their charitable giving programs to disclose those changes to their customers and shareholders.
