Can’t comment on the technical quality of this paper but wanted to highlight that the research was funded by the NIH which our government is currently chaotically gutting. Link to paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-56461-1.pdf

You should take everything he says with a grain of salt. He’s defunding research on transgenic mice, not transgender.

Please refrain from posting deliberately misleading and inflammatory statements here.

The studies in question involve administering hormonal treatments to mice to investigate health outcomes relevant to humans, not altering the gender identity of mice.

It was good research, Duke was doing a study on optimizing the HIV vaccine in a high risk group—work that benefits us all: https://reason.com/2025/03/06/no-hhs-didnt-spend-8-million-m...

The gen part of transgenic comes from genes, not gender.

Transgenic refers to an organism or cell whose genome has been altered by the introduction of one or more foreign DNA sequences from another species by artificial means.[1][2]

Trumps’s team grabbed the term to anger credulous people and get their support. Trump might not know what it means, but his team does, and they don’t care. I expect depatru knows what it means as well, or is capable of finding it out. But he’d rather add to the manipulation.

I’m linking to both genome.gov and to Wikipedia in case the government site is taken down.

Animal testing should be banned, so that's fine
