They’re turning the frogs mice gay trans!
“They also spent millions on transgender cars!”
“That says transmission repair”
“TRANS.”

Nah, he’s good. Two trans cancells each other out.
Russia isnt our enemy, the TRANS-Atlantic partnership is!
THE FOOD INDUSTRY HAS SPENT BILLIONS ON TRANS FATS!!! THEY ARE WOKE!!!
This reality is a strange blend of Idiocracy and 1984. It’s really hard to imagine describing the way things are now to an adult in the 1980s. The GOP being so in love with the Russians is something else, given the depth of all the anti Russian propaganda during the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s it’s crazy we ended up here.
It’s funny right up until you’re strapped to a table, forced to look at a mouse, and admit it’s trans.
no pun intended here its a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as several governments.
The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual).
That’s real. That’s a real life quote from the real life, official white house website. “Wtaf” is an understatement here.

“Transgenic sounds enough like transgender to me and now I’m pissed off for no reason. Hey boss!”- Stephen Miller, probably.
“As usual” 🤣 this is hilarious, just not a good and happy kind of hilarious
Trump Decried Millions Spent ‘Making Mice Transgender.’ It Was Cancer and Asthma Research.
tl;dr: trump lies again, while also failing to comprehend the written word… again.
hes going to get mad when he sees the word transatlantic flights.

Hello wonderful new meme template.
Indeed.

Millions?
Hundreds of millions. Maybe even billions, if he was able to find enough couches.

transgenic - meaning they were able to modify cells in mice to more resemble human to be able to develop new medications that were difficult to develop, but I guess anything that has word “trans” is woke. The transportation secretary should be on a lookout.
Oh my god, I looked at the Rolling Stone article and this is the real explanation? I expect them to be stupid, but this is the basis for their talking point?
I am accurately using the word “literally,” when I say I literally can’t keep up with how stupid they are. I genuinely lowered my expectations as far as I could, and it wasn’t low enough.

What will they publish when they wind out that the government transcribes speeches and so on?
Yeah, they want to make genes trans now. The woke are out of control!
… 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.
Thanks for the hint. Also CNN added context to their article.
The morning after Trump’s speech, the White House provided a list of $8.3 million in federal grants to health studies that involve mice receiving treatments that can be used in gender-affirming health care. The White House list made clear what Trump, in the speech, did not: The studies were meant to figure out how these treatments might affect the health of humans who take them, not for the purpose of making mice transgender.
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 others could 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.
Thanks for sharing this thought. I had the same feelings and was disappointed to see that many of us are falling into the same headline clickbait trap that we accuse the other side of. Thankfully, you’re getting plenty of upvotes.
Yes, the word transgenic was used in the description of the one of the funded studies. However that same cited study is intentionally attempting to study the effects of androgen treatment on reproductive health for the benefit of transgender individuals.
I do not condone this ridiculous writing from an official Whitehouse press release. I also fully approve of every single study listed. But the “haha they’re dumb” rhetoric is not helpful. What’s helpful is encouraging people to demand sources, think critically, and hold authority figures accountable when they lie.
Gender affirming does not mean Trans.
Testosterone creams and pills would be gender affirming medications. It’s probably important to know how those medications are going to react with other medications and conditions. 9 Mil for a study is a drop in the bucket.
Doge is chasing fragments of pennies, at a time where there are glaringly obvious actual loopholes and waste in the government.
I agree. I saw a point brought up elsewhere that the asthma study included research on whether there is a difference with asthma rate before and after MTF participants took estrogen. The reasoning being that the prevalence of asthma among females compared to males tends to double by the end of puberty, so having trans participants in the study allows them to isolate the effects of estrogen in an ethical way. Very cool happenstance.
But no, the point here was not whether the science is good or bad, as you and I both full well know. The point was to Ctrl+F “transgender” in government-funded study abstracts and cancel all of them you can find so you can tell your base you’re hurting the people they wanted you to hurt. While you rob the nation blind with the other hand. MAGA doesn’t care that the research might have helped them. They don’t care that 9 million bucks is only a drop in the bucket. They have centered their lives around how important it is to win. All they care about is that they feel like they’re winning.
The point was to Ctrl+F “transgender”
I think they are literally doing a Ctrl+F on “trans”. I can’t wait to find out how much the military spends on transmissions. It’s probably why they are so keen on getting rid of trans service members.
More than meets the eye!
There’s a list of experiments. They mostly sound pretty standard, looking at the effects of various (hormone, etc.) medications on things like breast cancer, reproduction, etc. Tons and tons of medical experiments covering all sorts of different things are carried out each year. And they’re a big part of why the USA has long been a leader in drug and medical research.

Reality is a team sport, to some people.
Their stated ideals are ad-hoc justifications. All that has ever mattered is ingroup loyalty.
And they think that’s all you’re doing, because they think that’s all there is.
The underlying cause is they are more emotional driven than the baseline human, I think. We’re all emotional, but I feel like some people really let the truthiness gutfeel of emotions rule the day and facts are just not that important to them.
Pick like any of those and you see they had a choice between feelings that make them feel smart or part of an in-group, or facts that made the world clash with their beliefs. And because they’re kind of fools and cowards, they go with the feel-good most of the time.
Yeah, it’s a fear response, that’s why they want the strong man who will fix things and punish ‘the elites’ and ‘the immigrants’ and ‘the Jews’.
And by “elites,” they mean anyone that might be more intelligent than them, and have the gall to use that intelligence for academic or scientific purposes.
Yeah, of course. The actual elites that own all the wealth are with them as long as they make the right noises. There’s no guarantees after they’ve solidified power though.
They want to punish the Jews, yet they also back Israel?
Hitler’s initial plan was to send them to Madagascar. They’re happy for Israel to exist, and both Zionists and Neo Nazis are fine with making Jews outside of Israel feel very unsafe.
Modern antisemites are heavily zionistic. They see Israel as the answer to the Jewish question, and use the backing of Israel to deflect any accusations of antisemitism.
Maybe instead of fact checking, we should keep dropping little truth nuggets that sound like lies but are actually true.

White House is now a branch of newsmax
dont you mean PUTINS RT news,(fox is a branch of putins/murdoch collaboration)
Nah, newsmax has better editorial standards.
You’re actually right. Newsmax is still beholden to the law and has been taken to task over their bullshit.
The troubling is this is Trump signaling the right wing media that it’s ok to go even harder.
I work with someone who is happily parroting this bullshit and I’m not even near America. Please Americans… Do something.
Beat their ass
Stupidity is contagious and the Internet is a superspreader. It’s like COVID except it lasts even longer than long COVID and it’s way more dangerous.
That takes me directly to another “fact” he schooled me on. COVID was engineered by the labs in Wuhan and I should read RFK’s book about it. This shit is bad and it’s really fucking me up.

TBF, Hitler got a lot of his ideas from the US. Germany was just a smaller and less ethnically diverse country than the US, so there was less resistance to fascism.
Letting the South off easy after the Civil war was the big mistake.
we also had nazi parties and sympathesizers in the us, that was really not dealt with, plus the OG, racist party KKK.

Exactly. The government should have seized the land of every plantation owner that made a living from slave labor, and distributed it to former slaves as reparations.
