	In October 2024, the New York Times reported that Olson-Kennedy ~~elected~~ not to publish a long-~~running~~ study on puberty blockers funded by the National Institutes of Health, ~~which~~ ~~showed~~ ~~that~~ ~~blockers~~ ~~did not lead to~~ improvements in mental health of ~~children~~.

In October 2024, the [[New York Times]] reported that Olson-Kennedy chose not to publish a long-term study on puberty blockers funded by the National Institutes of Health. The study found no significant improvements in mental health outcomes for participants. Olson-Kennedy explained that the study’s results may have been influenced by the generally positive mental health status of participants at baseline. She expressed concerns that the findings could be misinterpreted or exploited by political opponents to argue against the use of puberty blockers in transgender adolescents.

	In December 2024, Olson-Kennedy ~~was~~ ~~sued~~ by a 20-year old ~~female~~ ~~detransitioner,~~ ~~alleging~~ ~~she~~ ~~had~~ ~~caused~~ ~~permanent~~ ~~harm~~ by a rushed diagnosis of gender ~~dysphoria "mere~~ minutes" after first ~~seeing~~ ~~the plaintiff~~ at age ~~12,~~ ~~who~~ ~~went~~ on ~~to receive~~ puberty blockers, testosterone, and a double mastectomy at age 14. The lawsuit also names ~~the~~ St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco and ~~a second~~ ~~doctor~~ as defendants, ~~alleging that~~ the latter ~~had~~ ~~"rubber-stamped"~~ the mastectomy.		In December 2024, Olson-Kennedy faced a lawsuit from a 20-year-old individual who identified as a detransitioner. The plaintiff alleged that a rushed diagnosis of gender dysphoria—made minutes after their first clinical encounter at age 12—led to the administration of puberty blockers, testosterone, and a double mastectomy at age 14. The lawsuit also names St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco and another physician as defendants, accusing the latter of failing to adequately review the mastectomy procedure. The case has drawn significant attention within medical and legal communities, highlighting ongoing debates about the standard of care for transgender youth.
