“GOP lawmakers say federal government spent about $250 million on transgender animal testing”
Federal agencies funded studies examining sex differences and hormone effects in animals, with White Coat Waste Project calculating these expenditures at approximately $250 million over several years. The characterization as 'transgender animal testing' is contested, as the research primarily involved studying biological sex differences and hormonal influences rather than gender identity concepts applied to animals.
