Republican lawmaker Nancy Mace recently claimed that around $10 million in American taxpayer funds had been spent on experiments using “transgender lab rats“.
Speaking at a House Oversight Committee hearing in February this year, GOP Representative Nancy Mace exposed the White Coat Waste Project which received ‘$10 million dollars to create transgender mice, rats, and monkeys.
She claimed the sum was an example of massive misuse of taxpayers’ money by former President Joe Biden’s administration.
RT reports: Mace criticized the allocation of taxpayer funds for “gender-affirming care” in animal research. The hearing featured testimony from a representative of the White Coat Waste Project, which exposes animal testing projects.
“Why is the federal government spending taxpayer dollars to create transgender animals?” Mace demanded, referring to initiatives protecting transgender rights and programs promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which the federal government had established during Biden’s administration.
“Last year, the White Coat Waste Project exposed more than $10 million in taxpayer funds that were spent creating transgender mice, rats and monkeys,” the South Carolina Republican said. “These DEI grants funded painful and deadly transgender experiments that forced lab animals to undergo invasive surgeries and hormone therapies at universities across the country.”
Mace slammed the Biden administration’s policy agenda, arguing that the White House was so “eager to propagate their radical gender ideology across all facets of American society that they were surgically mutating animal genitals. Taxpayer money went to that.”
According to White Coat Waste Project’s calculations, the National Institutes of Health has spent at least $240 million over the past years in grants for “transgender animal experiments,” including $26 million in currently active projects.
