The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has canceled a $600,000 grant intended for research on menstrual cycles in transgender men, following claims from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins that the grant was mischaracterized. The cancellation has drawn attention amid ongoing discussions about government spending on transgender-related research. Reports indicate that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has allocated over $12.5 million to various universities for studies involving 'transgender' mice, which has been a point of contention in recent political discourse. Critics argue that the funding for these studies is excessive and misrepresents the nature of the research. The USDA's decision to revoke the grant comes in the wake of allegations from conservative activists regarding the nature of the funding, which they claim supports controversial research. This development reflects broader debates surrounding government funding and transgender issues in scientific research.
