The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) this week announced the cancellation of several National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants that were geared toward transgender experiments on animals.
During President Donald Trump’s speech on Tuesday, he laid out a variety of DOGE discoveries, reading out some of the ways the U.S. government has wasted U.S. taxpayer dollars. That included a grant for transgender experiments on animals.
“…$8 million for making mice transgender,” Trump said, reminding Americans that this is “real.”
On Wednesday, DOGE followed up, announcing the cancellation of grants for such experiments
“Yesterday, @NIH cancelled seven grants for transgender experiments on animals,” DOGE announced, noting that one of the grants was $532,000 to “use a mouse model to investigate the effects of cross-sex testosterone treatment.” Another was $33,000 to test “feminizing hormone therapy in the male rat.”
The taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste Project, which has uncovered these cruel experiments, celebrated this news.
“We applaud President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE for taking swift and decisive action to cut millions in wasteful spending on disturbing transgender animal experiments exposed by White Coat Waste’s investigation of how Fauci, NIH and other federal agencies squandered over a quarter-billion dollars to give lab animals invasive surgeries and hormone therapies to mimic trans kids and adults and inject them with vaccines, and even overdoses of sex party drugs,” Anthony Bellotti, President and Founder of White Coat Waste Project, said in a statement.
