DOGE mischaracterizes a study as transgender, and USDA cancels it
"CANCELLED: $600,000 grant to study 'menstrual cycles in transgender men,'" Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on X last week. That's not what it was.

While the grant language does include a single sentence acknowledging that transgender men are among those who menstruate, there was no indication that they were the focus of the grant or even part of it. The passing reference to transgender men in the original grant application appears to be the sole justification for its cancellation.
I think it's ironic that the bullshit intended to pander to one set of ideological gatekeepers has now caused another set of ideological gatekeepers to cancel the grant. I wish it was possible to just stick to the science.

musgendering a USDA study is taking this anti-WOKE stuff a bit far, doncha think?
