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. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-tr...

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…
Animal testing should be banned, so that's fine

Interesting times indeed https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/yes-biden-spent-...
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

I asked for an example that was not about defunding research on transgender mice. The only examples provided were for research that was confused with transgender research.
So it seems that Doge is not cutting research for curing blindness and the like but only for transgender and some related-sounding other studies that were lumped in together, which will probably be sorted out in time.

They are not "transgender mice studies". They are human health studies using mice as a model animal, as is routine in biological research.

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