Some of the research cited involved transgenic mice, but some of it did involve research into transgender healthcare.
Which is to say: it wasn’t a misspeak. It wasn’t Trump being dumb. It was rhetoric.
It was meant to invoke ire against trans people, “DEI,” science, etc.

Amanita a day, 15: An old Amanita Pantherina that had started to dry up, contract, and the usually straight gills had curled. I loved how it looked. Old can be beautiful! The spiderweb with dots of moisture made me happy too. Other shots below.⬇️

Not only does it make up nonsense, it is often racist and violent nonsense. Also, Open AI is now “owned” by Tr$mp with his $500billion investment. I don’t want the Government having access to my medical info. Opt out of AI transcription when possible.

The announcement of Trump’s executive order on trans people makes good on his campaign promises to fight so-called “gender ideology”—a term that allows him and his allies to frame their policies as attacking a belief system, rather than targeting a minority group.
