The mice in question were TRANSGENIC.

“Transgenic refers to an organism or cell whose genome has been altered by the introduction of one or more foreign DNA sequences from another species by artificial means. Transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes.”

“This technique is routinely used to introduce human disease genes or other genes of interest into strains of laboratory mice to study the function or pathology involved with that particular gene.”

Correct, but context is everything:

“for research students on the potential human health impacts of treatments used in gender-affirming care”

It was both transgenic and transgender.

This study wastes our money and makes you wonder what is the big hang up with the left on transgender stuff anyway.

Also, it’s cruel to mice.
