I genuinely didn't realize that was the reason they said they were coming from insane asylums.

Like, I legitimately didn't even consider the possibility because it was just that stupid. I'm simultaneously kicking myself for not figuring it out, but also glad my brain isn't stupid enough to quickly make the same connection they did.

They probably have a Trump AI for this sort of thing.

eventhough cnn shills for trump in some form.

Trump got mad that people tried to fact check his claim that Biden spent millions on turning the mice trans. Then the Whitehouse officially released this at a rebuttal of the fact checks.

actually you live in a video game, you just don't know it yet

Naw, too much hope for that

well, we created a system of social cohesion and coordination so strongly based on obedience to authority and staying in your lane that the authority doesn't actually have to make sense or serve us for us to obey.

in fact, they don't even need to acknowledge material reality. they can live completely, entirely, in their delusional ketamine fueled fantasy worlds, and we will still be killed for disobedience, no matter how mad and irrational their commands get. such a shame there's no alternative.

they do feel some sort of shame, by remaining silent on it. then again i dont think conservatives can self-reflect.

They do feel shame. A lot of their issues come from inferiority complex and their way of dealing with it is by trying to bring everybody else down to their level.

I'm kind of torn on this one. I've seen the "transgenic" explanation in several other places, and as I normally do, my initial reaction was "Ha ha, stupid Trump." (And also a deep underlying sadness that doesn't ever really go away)

But I clicked the link on this post. They listed the grants referenced in their $8 million total. One did mention transgenic mice, though they may all use transgenic mice and not specifically mention it. But if you click through to the grant proposals (which I assume DOGE did not write), every entry does indeed involve research on the effects of gender-affirming medication, even the one that mentions transgenic mice. To be clear, the other claim from media reports is also true - that these are grants for cancer and HIV research. But specifically, for things like the interaction between HIV vaccines and gender affirming meds.

To make my position clear, I support these studies. I think it's important to study how asthma and cancer medications may affect the trans population differently than those not on gender-affirming meds. And you never know what additional discoveries will be made along the way. But I think that the response that MAGA got confused about transgender vs transgenic is disingenuous at best, if the information from this link is true (who knows if the 8 mill is the full contract or remaining values, etc).

I think diversity, equity, and inclusion are exactly what we need, and historically, a lot of harm has been caused by treating white male as default in medical studies. It is a truly terrible thing that they are canceling studies like these. But I think we need to recognize that when they say things like, Biden spent 8 million dollars trying to make mice transgender, what we're dealing with is bait. They want us fighting over whether or not we made mice transgender. The point here is that this is yet another example of this Federal government usurping the power of the purse without being checked. They will always try to use small lies to hide the Big Lie.

... transgenic mice to test whether male-level androgens ... are necessary and/or sufficient for androgen inhibition of in vivo LH pulse parameters

They used the transgenic mice to test if hrt works. And the others have nothing to do with transgenic mice, most are explicitly about hrt and one is testing if asthma differences in sex is actually caused by hormones.

More than meets the eye!

spelling is not really trumps strongsuit, nor it is followers, thats where the "weave" comes into play.

I saw that, and knew it was going to be a wild ride.

there's not even a grain of truth here; they thought he word 'transgenic' meant remotely the same thing as 'transgender'. or thought nobody would check.

Also, take the opportunity to also attack freedom of the press, dehumanize trans people, and delegitimize scientific research and healthcare.

That’s why leftists say it’s the same as biological sex

It serves no other purpose

Nah, newsmax has better editorial standards.

The experiment wasn't even for transgender animals. It was for transgenic which is an entirely different thing.

But you aren’t a conservative. If you ever argued with one about this it will boil down to: taxes are theft, the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.

Indubitably.
