Were they making the mice transgender, as the Dear Leader claimed? Were they turning Jonathan Frisby into Joan Frisby?
Beyond that, transgender people exist and there are established forms of treatment which deserve to be studied. Would the President to be justified to end research into Pilocytic astrocytoma? It’s a rare brain tumor that only makes up around 1% all central nervous system tumors, mostly in children. Why shouldn’t the parents of the children with this cancer be made to fund the research? I didn’t tell them to spend my money on their problem.
Hormones are enormously important to our development but seriously understudied. You do animal studies because you don't want to experiment on people. Remember that some people, I think wrongly, believe that so-called gender affirming care is harmless. Scientists examining that question in Great Britain found that it is not. We need science to establish that because some people would go through it otherwise. Some people think that hormones don't affect athletic performance. Scientific studies can establish that and how and to what degree it does. That's why you finance scientific research, to get at the underlying physical explanations of our world, and then to use them for the purpose of life.

It is disgusting that you equate brain tumor research with research into the transitioning of prepubescent children.
Europe has abandoned transitioning minors because it is disgusting child abuse.
Where did I disagree with anything you said in regard to this grant? Can you answer my other questions?
The issue isn't studies that will benefit all Americans the issue is tax money being used on studies involving transitioning minors.
The societal benefit of other studies is completely irrelevant.
Your questions are completely irrelevant.
Sure who cares about the explicitly transgender grants and experiments. Most likely they were pandering to the time. Would’ve been shrewder to take a sex/dev/hormone angle rather than explicitly transgender care focused on.
However there are plenty of avenues for research that look at sex hormone treatment (birth control, estrogen supplementation in menopausal woman, cancer treatment) that also have implications in transgender care, to conflate these things, like you’re doing in intellectually poor.
I wish you’d actually try engaging with my questions because we’d probably be able to meet in the middle.
I highly recommend you read the full abstract of the asthma grant!

Why do you insist on ignoring the actual issue?
I'm not engaging with your questions because they are completely irrelevant. People are all for studies that help people.
The issue which you continue to ignore is the studies that focus on abusing children.

The abstract I’m asking you to read is the $3.2M dollar grant listed in the first post of this thread?!? Hello?
What issue am I ignoring? Which of those NIH grants fund “abusing children?”
This work was supported by the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research grants KL2 TR 002241 and UL1 TR 002240 (C.D.C.); National Institutes of Health grants F30-HD100163 and T32-HD079342 (H.M.K.); University of Mi...
You're arguing against an argument I'm not making.
Transitioning minors is child abuse. You don't trust the kid to get a tattoo but you think they're mature enough to decide at 10 they never want to have a child or an orgasm ever in their entire life...

I agree that study funds investigating transgender therapy on mice. Do you think juvenile mice are humans?
I am firmly against hormone therapy for minors for gender identity reasons.
Do you disagree that the WH press release included grants that have little to do with transgender care?

You're disgusting.
Oh please. Do you know the difference between equate and compare?
Is gender dysphoria a medical condition? Does it and potential treatments merit study?

Do you think they are mutilating these mice for fun? The study would not exist if transitioning minors didn't exist. They are trying to facilitate the abuse of children.
I have a problem with that. Using my money to do it I have a BIG problem with.
The overwhelming majority of Americans agree with me on this issue.
I did not read the press release. I don't support cutting the funding for legitimate research. Transitioning children is not legitimate research.
TheAdultInTheRoom: "It did NOTHING to keep you from catching it."
TheAdultInTheRoom: "40-50% effective means 50-60% ineffective."
So it didn't do NOTHING?
Again, take your GED and crayons back to your double-wide, because the real adults are having a conversation here and you're just not smart enough to participate.
The "real adults" who mandated that any healthy person who refused a 40% effective experimental vaccine should be fired from their job...
You got 9 jabs and wore your mask in your car and at home alone in your shower and you STILL got COVID.
You seem really wound up and easily triggered. Maybe that's why you have such a hard time keeping a consistent narrative.
The vaccine reduced severity in people who were infected and reduced transmission by 40%. Let's look at how a virus like COVID, with an R number of around 3 in unvaccinated populations looks as a function of time compared to with a 40% reduction in transmission. Start with 100 infected people. In case 1, they will infect 300 people. Those 300 people will infect 900 people, and so on. After 10 generations, there will be 5.9 million people infected. Now compare to case 2, where everyone is vaccinated. Again starting with 100 infected people, after 10 generations there will be only 1.9 million infected people. Less, than one-third as many. After 20 generations, there will be one-sixth as many infected individuals.
So yes, I think people who were too stupid to pass high school biology who suddenly decided they were experts on immunology should have been fired from their jobs.
p.s. making false assumptions about me doesn't strengthen your case, it just highlights how non-existent your argument is.
Answer the question. Which of your supposed conservative principles is this medical research violating that other medical research is not violating?
Why isn't this useful research? Be precise. We shouldn't use mouse models? We shouldn't study sex-dependent vaccine response? Transgender isn't in the magic fairy book?
You righties are always telling everyone how wonderful you are and how much the magic fairy book promotes love and forgiveness. Maybe try practicing what you preach.
I see you gave up on the COVID vaccines weren't effective argument once you got your *ss handed to you.
Just because your cult is a hive mind and your opinions are identical to every other NPC in the cult doesn't mean everyone behaves that way.
There's millions of Trump voters and Republicans who aren't religious.
I don't care if you saw your little schmeckle off and run around in a dress. Knock yourself out. Just leave the children out of it and don't spend my tax dollars to test your depravity.
Again, you haven't answered the question. Is it because you're unable to understand the question? Or you just don't have a good answer.
Which of your supposed conservative principles is this medical research violating that other medical research is not violating?
Here's a hint: it may benefit people who are transgender and the magic fairy book says those people are bad.
How is any of the research in question "testing my depravity" when it's being carried out on mice?
Oh please. Do you know the difference between equate and compare?
Is gender dysphoria a medical condition? Does it and potential treatments merit study?
You can answer no.
Treatments that involve the permanent disfigurement and sterilization of minor children absolutely do not merit study.
Full stop.
I don’t think surgery like that should be done on someone who isn’t of age. It’s obviously a huge decision and I think reversible treatments are appropriate until the patient in question is an adult. Do you find that acceptable?

I doubt you even took high school biology.
Your little demonstration doesn't take into account the fact that the effectiveness of the vaccine falls off a cliff rapidly over time.
If so, should that medical treatment be based on controlled studies?
Should the government fund science?
Again, your argument boils down to one of ideology: you don't like people who are transgender. Maybe it's because your daddy didn't love you enough as a child. Maybe it's because you spend too much time reading the magic fairy book. Maybe it's because you got your brain cell scrambled while riding around in a tank. Who the f*ck knows. But, you are saying you don't want the best possible medical care for Americans based solely on their gender. That makes you a truly revolting excuse for a person.
