Citing White Coat Waste’s investigation, President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) canceled seven of the NIH grants we exposed that funded cruel transgender animal experiments.

A new White Coat Waste analysis of federal spending has uncovered over $10 million in taxpayer funding is being wasted to create transgender mice, rats, monkeys, and other animals.
Immediately following WCW’s revelations, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Senate Caucus Chair Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Reps. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for these projects to be defunded.
According to grant summaries and published papers reviewed by WCW, the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and likely other agencies are paying university labs across the country to perform invasive surgeries and hormone therapies on lab animals to mimic gender transitions in painful and deadly experiments.
One tax-funded grant that has raked in over $1.1 million is funding animal experiments to study overdoses of a party drug abused at raves to facilitate “chemsex.”
Records show that published studies promoting transgender experiments on monkeys, mice and other animals were paid for in part by millions in taxpayer-funded diversity, equity, and inclusion grants.
Some of the colleges we’ve exposed for conducting taxpayer-funded transgender animal experiments include Harvard, Duke, Indiana University, the University of California-San Diego, University of Michigan, University of Mississippi, and Johns Hopkins University.
These projects are just the tip of the iceberg. Millions more from taxpayer-funded grants are being funneled to transgender animal experiments and we’ll continue to uncover, expose, and stop this waste and abuse.
Beagle abuse, gain-of-function in Wuhan, and now barbaric transgender animal experiments.
Is this how you want your money spent?
