Pro-Woman Advocates Slam Nike Over Alleged Funding For Puberty-Blocker Study

It recently came to light that the biggest sports apparel company in the world, Nike, is apparently helping to fund a study on the use of puberty-blockers in children and how it affects their athletic performance.

The short version of the study’s purpose is simple: how much medication, hormones and surgery needs to be given to young boys to allow them to “fairly” compete in girls’ and women’s sports? To this point, Nike has not confirmed its financial investment in the study, but they have not denied it, either. 

Of course, most rational-thinking people already know the answer that this study seeks to find: there is no amount of pharmaceutical or medical intervention that should allow boys to compete in girls’ and women’s sports. In addition, giving these life-altering “gender-affirming treatments” to children should be considered child abuse. 

And why is Nike allegedly funding such a study? They are a sports apparel company that primarily produces sneakers. What are they looking to gain from this “research?” Do they want more children receiving these treatments? Unfortunately, the company has, thus far, refused to answer these questions. 

Pro-woman advocates condemn Nike for its alleged role in a study on the effect of puberty-blockers on children 

Riley Gaines, host of the OutKick podcast “Gaines for Girls” and one of the most influential pro-woman voices in the country, blasted the company. 

“It’s utterly insidious that Nike would bankroll a long-term study on pre-pubescent athletes—effectively turning children into political guinea pigs—to advance a irreversible, harmful ideology that preys on the most vulnerable,” Gaines said. “Did the Bud Light–Dylan Mulvaney fiasco teach Nike nothing? Corporations should stick to making products, not picking culture-war sides—but with Nike, a company that has proudly shown their disdain for America, women, and now apparently children, I won’t hold my breath.”
