  They were not “making the mice transgender”.

  From the Whitehouse’s 6 evil studies list:

  Three of them were studying the long-term effects of gender-affirming hormone therapy on the growth of the skeleton, how it affects fertility, and if it changes your breast cancer risk. These are all things that people who are against transgender care use as reasons to stop transgender care. So they were potentially a way for the government to say “no” to this kind of hormone therapy and have some scientific backing for why. (Note: the results of these studies weren’t going the way anti-trans numpties would have liked. I’m sure that has nothing to do with it though.)

  One is studying (as best I can determine) how GA therapy works, I guess because we don’t really fully understand it. This one used “transgenic” mice (scary!) to help isolate the processes. That means they were genetically modified.

  There was a very scary one about how such hormone therapy affects the effectiveness of the HIV vaccine. (They made sure to list this one first with its homophobantitransantivax trifecta).

  One study they claimed in their list was actually just a comparison of asthma between men and women (nothing about transgender, but it mentioned “gonadal hormones” which is like, so gross).

  A bunch of the info came from here: motherjones.com/…/white-house-scared-of-trans-mou…

  I also read through the abstracts from the studies listed and linked in the Whitehouse press release.

    and is only tangentially related to transgender women because of the estrogen they take

    Good point, estrogen is related to trans women. We should ban estrogen and force everyone to take antiestrogens, so nobody can be a trans woman. Also, vaginas. We should make vaginas illegal.

      Expanding on this, that means testosterone is related to trans men, so we should prevent people from taking testosterone. There’s a ton of MAGA “alpha males” who take testosterone, which is what I would call GA care

        Yep, gender is cancelled. Let’s ban gender so trans people can’t have it

      They’re definitely working on it
