It is an existential crisis!

A friendly reminder to make more babies! 🇯🇵 Japan's total fertility rate for 2024 was reported to hit an all-time low. Last year, more than two people died for every baby born. 🇺🇸 U.S. birth rates hit 40-year low. 🇦🇺 Australia's birth rate is at an all-time-low.

Yesterday, @NIH cancelled seven grants for transgender experiments on animals including:
- $532K to “use a mouse model to investigate the effects of cross-sex testosterone treatment”
- $33K to test “feminizing hormone therapy in the male rat”

@adampnathan @MayorOfLA @LAHomeless Pimping poverty is also a term used. Getting those who are poor out of poverty often doesn't benefit those funded to help them.
English

There's a term that gets used mostly by the right-wing: "Homeless Industrial Complex." But when $2.4 billion goes unaccounted for, it gives that term relevance. What a mess. @MayorOfLA @LAHomeless

@remercurize @BrendanAlan99 @CalltoActivism I understand that. Less than 98% of Americans care about party drugs so why fund this? The transgendered people doing party drugs - if they are concerned about ODing - should find some private funding for these studies about transgendered mice who may OD on party drugs.

@BethCat25 @BrendanAlan99 @CalltoActivism Sex hormones have been observed to have a measurable effect on the mechanism by which the body deals with GHB
The study was for the under-understood phenomenon “for sex hormones to regulate GHB renal clearance and tissue distribution”
The purpose is not to make mice transgender

'Transgender' is about human gender identity, which doesn’t apply to mice. What he’s referring to is research on transgenic mice, where scientists modify their DNA to study things like diseases or hormones. For example, they might give mice hormones to see how it affects their health, which helps us understand treatments for humans, including transgender people. But the mice aren’t 'transgender'—they’re just lab tools. So, it’s misinformation caused by confusing two very different terms.

@krassenstein I don't blame you for not believing. It is so horrifying!
This page summarizes the work of those who have been investigating this with links to the NIH website and the relevant transgender (yes) projects.

I’m waiting to hear MAGA’s response to Trump’s blatant LIE about the government funding research on "Transgender Mice"—when in reality, they study Transgenic Mice (genetically modified for medical research).
So, will you own up to spreading FAKE NEWS? And don’t you think Trump should correct his outright misinformation? Or are we just pretending facts don’t matter anymore?
English

@remercurize @BrendanAlan99 @CalltoActivism But you need to create transgender mice to do the research.
If you want to study party drugs and their effect on transgender folks, raise some money. Don't do it with our tax dollars. 98% of the people in this country don't take party drugs.

@PaniCoins @DOGE @elonmusk @NIH You want facts? Look at this link to NIH reporter showing the $300,000 funding to create transgender mice so they can see if they are more likely overdose on GBH (a party drug) than those mice who are not transgender. reporter.nih.gov/project-detail…

@teslius @DOGE @NIH How about this study? Here's a link to NIH reporter showing the $300,000 funding to create transgender mice so they can see if they are more likely overdose on GBH (a party drug) than those mice who are not transgender. reporter.nih.gov/project-detail…
English

Many science experiments have been carried out on mice so that later they may be applied to humans in clinical trials 🐁
On the one hand, this is well in line with DOGE. On the other, we won’t know, in the interim, the results. This study was probably done to gain insight to how these treatments may affect humans. These findings would likely benefit people who are transgender that undergo hormone treatment or are considering these treatments.

@libsoftiktok It's so horrifying but true. You want facts? Look at this link to NIH reporter showing the $300,000 funding to create transgender mice so they can see if they are more likely overdose on GBH (a party drug) than those mice who are not transgender. reporter.nih.gov/project-detail…

@JustinRGoodman I don't believe Fauci has offically ever admitted to funding the gain-of-function research in China, right? You wonder if Collins even knew. Fauci plays a pretty good bluff with the public - good poker player is he. I believed him until I read your info.
English

Let’s not forget that even after experts told NIH Director Francis Collins in Feb 2020 that a lab leak may have caused COVID, he wrote this March 26, 2020 NIH blog post (still published w/o any disclaimer or correction) claiming the lab leak theory was debunked.

A reminder of the role that then-NIH leader Dr. Francis Collins played in trying to shut down the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis in 2020.
