During a House subcommittee hearing last week, Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina shared findings from a watchdog group that claims the U.S. government spent millions of taxpayer dollars on transgender animal studies.

During a February 6 hearing, Mace’ the chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation—shared findings from the White Coat Waste Project (WCW), a watchdog group focused on exposing and ending government-funded animal experimentation.

According the WCW’s 2024 study, at least $10 million in taxpayer money was used on studies involving transgender animals. Newsweek

The White Coat Waste Project criticized over $10 million in taxpayer-funded transgender animal studies, involving invasive surgeries and hormone therapies on mice, rats, and monkeys. Experiments included studying fertility in transgender mice and overdose risks in rats given testosterone, deemed cruel, wasteful, and scientifically unnecessary by the group.

These studies involved invasive surgeries and hormone treatments, which the group labeled as cruel and unnecessary. Funding came partly from NIH and USDA grants, including DEI initiatives.

  • $2.5 million to study fertility in transgender mice, involving hormone treatments to mimic gender transitions.
  • $1.1 million to examine if female rats, given testosterone to simulate transgender men, were more prone to overdosing on a party drug linked to “chemsex” in the LGBTQ community.
  • Experiments on male monkeys forcibly transitioned with hormone therapy to test HIV susceptibility, despite monkeys being unable to contract HIV naturally.

Anthony Fauci was not directly “in charge” of directly conducting these experiments but he was the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the NIH, from 1984 to 2022, and would have approved the funding for some of these studies, including a $205,562 grant in December 2021 to Scripps Research for transgender monkey research and parts of a broader $10 million+ portfolio labeled as transgender animal studies.
