The Trump administration is making America great again for animals and has canceled $2.5 million more in National Institutes of Health grants funding transgender animal experiments.
The two grants had been awarded to Harvard University animal experimenters by the Biden Administration. They were exposed last year by White Coat Waste, a watchdog organization seeking to end cruel and wasteful animal testing.
Every taxpayer dollar spent MUST have tangible benefit for Americans.
Taxpayer funding for transgender mice experiments is absolute nonsense!
Thank you @POTUS & @DOGE for slashing this wasteful madness! https://t.co/R2CPeVfJGH

The two now-defunct transgender animal testing grants were a $299,240 grant to create “transmasculine” lab animals by giving female mice testosterone and removing their ovaries and a $442,444 grant to sterilize animals, inject them with hormone therapies, and then inflict wounds to mimic transgender humans receiving gender-affirming surgeries.
WCW also just obtained a photo of one of the Harvard tests through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The $442,444 grant was intended to continue through 2029 and receive an additional $2.2 million.
The liberal media had tried to run cover for the tests, claiming that Trump was misunderstanding the word “transgenic.” WCW has repeatedly proved that to be a lie.
Bill’s wrong. Trump’s right.
It’s transGENDER mice.
CNN & Forbes have both had to issue corrections when they tried to debunk this true story.@WhiteCoatWaste has exposed 100s of millions of tax $ wasted to create transgender lab animals in cruel experiments https://t.co/284mOZeqGR

“We’re proud that our blockbuster investigation has prompted President Trump and DOGE to slash millions in wasteful spending earmarked for creating transgender lab animals through sterilization, hormone therapies, and invasive surgeries and then subjecting them to open wounds, electroshocks, and other painful and deadly experiments,” Anthony Bellotti, president and founder of White Coat Waste Project, said in a statement provided to The Gateway Pundit.
Bellotti added, “This is a great victory for taxpayers and animals. Despite the mainstream media’s shameful misinformation campaign, transgender animal experiments are real—and really wasteful—and our investigation has secured the receipts for dozens more active grants that still need to be cut. The solution is simple: Stop the money. Stop the madness!”
Through the Department of Government Efficiency, the Trump administration has now canceled nine transgender animal testing grants uncovered by WCW, saving taxpayers nearly $10 million.
WCW’s ongoing investigation of federal spending has identified dozens of additional grants funding transgender animal tests with money from the NIH, National Science Foundation, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Recently, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan discussed WCW’s investigations of NIH funding for transgender animal experiments and Fauci’s beagle tests—a story Gateway Pundit first broke in 2021—as egregious examples of government waste. Musk commented that these taxpayer-funded labs are “mutilating animals in demented studies that are like the worst thing you can imagine from a horror show.”
