The article discusses a false claim made by the Trump administration regarding $8 million supposedly allocated by Biden's administration for making mice transgender. The actual funding was only $477,121 for research on feminizing hormones' effects on immune systems, involving monkeys, not transgender issues. Despite this, the White House has defended Trump's statements and ridiculed fact-checking efforts. The article also clarifies the meaning of transgenic mice, emphasizing they are not related to gender identity but are scientifically engineered for genetic research.
The Trump administration's bizarre claim about spending $8 million to make mice transgender stems from misinterpretations of actual scientific funding, generating major public misinformation.
Fact-checkers have confirmed that only $477,121 was allocated for research related to feminizing hormones and their effects, involving tests on monkeys, not transgender mice.
The White House continues to reinforce Trump's claims, disregarding factual corrections and labeling fact-checkers as "fake news losers," challenging the integrity of factual reporting.
Transgenic mice, often misinterpreted in political discourse, are genetically engineered for research purposes, unrelated to gender identity or transness.
