From what I’ve seen, most of those studies involved using hormones and studying their effects on mice for various aspects. The Trump misdirection comes in where they assume that any use of hormones automatically means it’s about transitioning. Hormone therapy is used in a ton of other situations, like treating menopause, genetic conditions and whatever it is men take extra testosterone for. Obviously it’s important to know the risks and effects of hormone therapy for transitioning too, and that’s also part of why those studies were commissioned.

Ironically, if they hadn’t cancelled those studies and let them play out, and those studies found adverse effects, they’d be all over that shit.
