The transgender issue became a cause celebre for Joe Biden and his administration. He pushed the ideology, unscientific though it is, that men or boys can become women or girls. And vice versa.
His fight extended to the point he was trying to force doctors with ethical and religious objections to do body mutilating surgeries – and he was trying to force taxpayers to pay for it. And not just in the U.S., but around the globe.
President Donald Trump put a block on the agenda when he took office, stating that the government's official policy is that there are two genders, men and women.
But now a report reveals that over recent years, taxpayers have been billed for some $241 million – for transgender experiments on animals.
It is Fox News that reported Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., described such spending as "insane."
It was just weeks ago that the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, in a hearing called, "Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty," heard from Justin Goodman of the White Coat Waste Project about the spending.
Goodman said, "In a lot of these cases, they involve mice, rats, monkeys, who are being surgically mutilated and subjected to hormone therapies to mimic female-to-male or male-to-female gender transitions, gender-affirming hormone therapies, and then looking at the biological, psychological and physiological effects of the gender transitions, looking at the effects of taking vaccines after you've transitioned these animals from male to female or female to male, looking at the size of their genitals changing after you've put them on estrogen or testosterone therapies to transition them."
Goodman described one situation where a $1.1 million cash handout was delivered to give female lab rats testosterone, and then observe whether they were likely to overdose on a rape drug.
Crane explained, in a statement to Fox, "Anthony Fauci lied to the American people about masks, vaccines, social distancing, gain-of-function research, and the origins of COVID-19. On top of these egregious actions, he also authorized more than $200 million of taxpayer funds for 'transgender animal testing'."
Crane suggested it's now up to Congress to examine spending bills line by line and remove "these fraudulent programs."
Goodman cited that Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Joe Biden's chief operative to impose masks, shots, and lockdowns on Americans during COVID, funded 95% of the transgender animal experiments.
The taxpayer funds paid for "painful and deadly transgender experiments that forced lab animals to undergo invasive surgeries and hormone therapies," explained Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.
