    So can someone explain this to me? Because I understand the explanation that the experiments were with transgenic mice, and obviously Trump is dumb enough to not know the difference, but then they’ve got this explanation on whitehouse.gov:

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/yes-biden-spent-millions-on-transgender-animal-experiments/

    I have to swallow down my vomit after reading an official government website use the phrase “fake news losers”, but then it seems to be quoting actual studies and includes things like:

    “A Mouse Model to Test the Effects of Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy on HIV Vaccine-induced Immune Responses”

    and

    Gender-Affirming Testosterone Therapy on Breast Cancer Risk and Treatment Outcomes

    Those sound like perfectly valid and worthwhile experiments to me, but they do technically involve mice being given gender-affirming hormones, or as an idiot would say, “transgender mice”.

    I just want to be accurate with my criticisms, and I’m not sure the transgenic = transgender explanation is enough.

    Reminds me of an adult video I saw a while ago that completely changed how I view pornography.

    It was a perfectly normal video of a perfectly normal woman doing a perfectly normal thing. The title of the video was descriptive of the action, and then in parentheses it said, “(NO FARTS)”.

    And I’m like… I wasn’t even aware I had a preference either way, but now I definitely do.
