I agree. I saw a point brought up elsewhere that the asthma study included research on whether there is a difference with asthma rate before and after MTF participants took estrogen. The reasoning being that the prevalence of asthma among females compared to males tends to double by the end of puberty, so having trans participants in the study allows them to isolate the effects of estrogen in an ethical way. Very cool happenstance.

But no, the point here was not whether the science is good or bad, as you and I both full well know. The point was to Ctrl+F "transgender" in government-funded study abstracts and cancel all of them you can find so you can tell your base you're hurting the people they wanted you to hurt. While you rob the nation blind with the other hand. MAGA doesn't care that the research might have helped them. They don't care that 9 million bucks is only a drop in the bucket. They have centered their lives around how important it is to win. All they care about is that they feel like they're winning.
