There are tons of groups with significant motivation to publish just about anything detrimental to transgender people, so yes, it would’ve been published.
Well, there does seem to be no shortage of trans girls at any rate
Transgender people, total, between both transmasc and transfem individuals, make up around 0.5% of the population of the US. Hardly abundant. And again, the number of trans people in high level sports is in the double digit numbers.
I personally wouldn’t think twice about reporting whatever data I found. I suspect I’d be blindsided by the backlash (which I’m inferring would exist, from your comment) for publishing true findings, but then think in hindsight that I ought to have foreseen it.
But then, I’m pretty inept at social status games. I can entertain the notion that most people in such a situation would either not publish, or worse, fudge the data.
Yes Requires the Possibility of No. Do you think that such a study would be published if it happened to come to the opposite conclusion?
Well, there does seem to be no shortage of trans girls at any rate, so these issues are only going to become more salient.

In the academia? Come on now. If those people post their stuff on Substack, or even in some bottom-tier journal, nobody else would notice or care.
Among youth aged 13 to 17 in the U.S., 3.3% (about 724,000 youth) identify as transgender, according to the first Google link—https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/trans-adults-united-states/ In any case, when we’re talking about at least hundreds of thousands, “no shortage” seems like a reasonable description.
So far.
Hard to say.
