This is literally from whitehouse.gov, I can't belive this is an official post from the executive branch. I feel like it needs to be shared for posterity. (infosec.pub)

Thanks for sharing this thought. I had the same feelings and was disappointed to see that many of us are falling into the same headline clickbait trap that we accuse the other side of. Thankfully, you're getting plenty of upvotes.

Yes, the word transgenic was used in the description of the one of the funded studies. However that same cited study is intentionally attempting to study the effects of androgen treatment on reproductive health for the benefit of transgender individuals.

I do not condone this ridiculous writing from an official Whitehouse press release. I also fully approve of every single study listed. But the "haha they're dumb" rhetoric is not helpful. What's helpful is encouraging people to demand sources, think critically, and hold authority figures accountable when they lie.
