White Coat Waste Project (WCW), a watchdog group dedicated to ending taxpayer-funded animal experiments, has discovered that millions in taxpayer dollars from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the State of Florida are being spent on bizarre experiments to create “transgender” monkeys by pumping male rhesus macaques full of estrogen and then injecting them with mRNA vaccines. The research, published in Cell Reports earlier this month, says that the experiments are aimed at modeling feminizing hormone therapy (FHT) as used by transgender biological males transitioning to “female.”
According to the paper, “To investigate the immune effects of estrogen within a male biological system, we administered exogenous E2 [estrogen] to male RMs [rhesus monkeys], modeling FHT [feminizing hormone therapy] as prescribed to TGW [transgender women].” Twelve young male monkeys were divided into groups and implanted with slow-release pellets containing either estrogen or a placebo.
The results were grotesque.
“FHT [feminizing hormone therapy] induces physical changes in TGW [transgender women], such as breast development, fat and muscle redistribution, and reduction in facial hair. To determine whether exogenous E2 [estrogen] therapy triggered similar female characteristics in male RMs [rhesus monkeys], we evaluated body alterations in the E2-treated animals. We found that male RMs [rhesus monkeys] treated with E2 [estrogen], but not placebo, developed significantly enlarged nipples similar to those of non-pregnant non-lactating female macaques.”
The estrogen-treated males developed “significantly enlarged nipples similar to those of non-pregnant non-lactating female macaques.” Additionally, “skin in the [estrogen]-treated macaques’ hips and thighs also became increasingly reddish and vascularized in a manifestation that resembled sex skin.” To further disrupt their systems, the researchers “artificially disrupted immune homeostasis through LNP/mRNA vaccinations,” injecting the animals with mRNA-based vaccines.
Images from the study show enlarged nipples and reddish, vascularized skin on the primates.
Tragically, one monkey, identified as rh-12, “developed a severe case of scrotal edema following the first E2 implant that was not successfully controlled by diuretic treatment (furosemide). As a result, this monkey was euthanized.”
Funding for this disturbing project came from four NIH grants totaling over $22 million, three of which are still active, including one issued by Dr. Anthony Fauci in 2020.
The grants include U19AI149646 ($13.9 million to Boston Children’s Hospital for an AAV-mediated functional cure), R01HD103494 ($4 million to the University of Florida for preventing obstetric HIV infection), R01HD102252 ($4.1 million to UF for perinatal HIV prevention), and the expired R21AI157929 ($477,000 to UF specifically for studying immunological effects of FHT in transgender women models).
Additional support was provided by the State of Florida through the HIV/AIDS and Emerging Infectious Diseases Institute (HEIDI) at the University of Miami, which has been sponsored by the Florida Department of Health under contracts totaling millions of dollars since 2014.
WCW has estimated that “the NIH, National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other federal agencies have wasted at least a quarter-billion tax dollars on transgender animal labs.”
In response, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace introduced the TRANS MICE Act (H.R. 4512) in July, cosponsored by GOP Reps. Paul Gosar, Brandon Gill, and Lauren Boebert. The bill, short for “Transgender Research on Animals Now Stops and Money for Ideological Cruelty Eliminated,” seeks to ban all current and future federal funding for these cruel and unnecessary tests.
The legislation follows President Trump’s criticism of similar spending in his 2025 State of the Union address, which led to the cancellation of at least ten NIH grants, saving millions and sparing thousands of animals.
A group of House Republicans, including Gosar, Boebert, Gill, Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others, have also recently sent a letter to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies, demanding a ban on federally funded transgender animal experiments in the FY2026 budget.
The letter states:
Media reports, investigations conducted by the non-profit White Coat Waste Project, and inquiries by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have uncovered how dozens of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants issued under the Biden Administration are funding wasteful and disturbing experiments to create “transfeminine” and “transmasculine” lab animals using invasive surgeries and hormone therapies. The transgender animals are then wounded, shocked, injected with street drugs and vaccines, and subjected to other disturbing procedures.
President Trump has personally criticized these experiments on several occasions, and the Department of Government Efficiency has cancelled millions in NIH grants funding transgender animal testing. However, many of these NIH grants funding gender transitions for lab animals are still active.
The proposed language would prohibit funds for “research on vertebrate animals for the purpose of studying the effects of drugs, surgery, or other interventions to alter the human body… to no longer correspond to its biological sex.” They cited dozens of active NIH grants under the Biden administration for these “wasteful and disturbing” experiments, including ones where rats on hormones were tested for drug overdoses.
The letter cites a Gateway Pundit report from March, which covered WCW’s revelations that despite early intervention efforts on the part of the Trump Administration [and its Department of Governmental Efficiency] to revoke, freeze, and eliminate several unorthodox government-sponsored experiments involving transgender hormone testing on animals, nearly 40 federal grants, including one disbursed via the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, were still active.
The FY2026 NIH spending bill is set to be considered on September 2.
Anthony Bellotti, president and founder of WCW, told the Gateway Pundit in a statement:
“White Coat Waste’s shocking new investigation exposes how millions in Fauci-era NIH grants and even Florida state funds are being wasted on disturbing and cruel experiments that create transgender lab monkeys and inject them with mRNA, highlighting why state and federal lawmakers must act now and defund this bizarre monkey business.
Thanks to our viral investigations, shocking Congressional testimony, and relentless campaigning, President Trump himself and Congress are taking action to slash funding for wasteful and cruel experiments that subjected lab animals to invasive surgeries and hormone therapies to crudely mimic gender transitions in children and adults—only to later wound, shock, and inject them with viruses, vaccines, and overdoses of sex-party drugs. Trump’s historic cuts have already saved thousands of animals and millions of taxpayer dollars.
But White Coat Waste has uncovered dozens of active NIH, NSF, and VA grants that have also funneled federal funds to similar disturbing transgender animal experiments. Taxpayers should never be forced to bankroll barbaric transgender animal tests, and legislation like the TRANS MICE Act will ensure they won’t be. The solution is simple: Stop the money. Stop the madness!" WCW has spearheaded numerous campaigns exposing and defunding cruel government-backed tests, saving millions in public funds and sparing thousands of animals.
Founded to combat the over $20 billion annually spent on such experiments, WCW has achieved major victories, including exposing and defunding the Wuhan lab linked to COVID-19 origins, halting Dr. Anthony Fauci's infamous beagle experiments that involved infecting and killing thousands of dogs in painful toxicity tests, and shutting down the USDA's "Kitten Slaughterhouse," the government's largest cat lab where felines were bred, infected with parasites, and euthanized.
The organization also ended cat and dog experiments at the Department of Veterans Affairs, closed the FDA's largest primate lab, resulting in a 63 percent reduction in primate testing, and secured a permanent ban on all Navy-funded dog and cat experiments, terminating a $10 million program of invasive procedures.
Additionally, WCW's investigations led to the NIH closing its in-house beagle laboratories after revelations of brutal experiments pumping bacteria into dogs' lungs and inducing septic shock, marking the end of over 40 years of such practices.
Through relentless advocacy, WCW has influenced groundbreaking legislation and policies, such as the first-ever federal rules allowing lab survivors to be retired and adopted as pets across various agencies, including the NIH, VA, DOD, and FDA, as well as the passage of the first state law banning taxpayer-funded maximum-pain tests on dogs and cats.

Good Lord these people are insane.
insane? you misspelled EVIL
Is there anyone who still dares to deny that we’re reaching a point of insanity of no return? Someone has to say it publicly and loudly. I’m on the side of the sane people who still remain.
How is Anthony beagle killer Fauci still alive? Where is crickets chirping PETA?
What. The. Hell? This is still going on after all these decades of “testing”? They haven’t figured out a better way yet? These “researchers” are no better than psychopath serial killers who get their start torturing animals.
When the article says such falsehoods as this, how am I to believe anything it says?
Dr. Fauci is an infectious disease specialist. That means he did not do toxicology testing. Toxicology is a different field than infectious disease. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, all of Dr. Fauci's research was in human subjects.
What White Coat Waste Project has done here is to claim that Dr. Fauci personally conducted experiments on dogs, when these experiments were actually funded through the NIH and performed independently by non-government laboratories. The director of NIH and NIAID are not personally involved in any of the research they fund. When I did toxicology research in pursuit of my PhD, it was funded by the EPA--and I'm positive that the head of the EPA had no clue as to what my research was.
White Coat Waste is essentially an animal rights group designed to appeal to conservatives in much the same way PETA appeals to leftists. Animal rights groups routinely lie about research, regardless of whether they are formed to appeal to leftists or conservatives.
Snopes did a fairly good deep dive on this claim, Did Fauci Spend Taxpayer Dollars on 'Cruel and Unnecessary' Tests on Beagles? So I won't go into any more details on this.
The bottom line is, do not blindly believe what any advocacy group says. Even if that advocacy group deliberately designs its message to appeal to a conservative audience, it is still using manipulation to advance its own goals (usually to solicit donations/sales of useless products).
Wasn’t this a South Park episode?
Dunno. Never watch it.....................
“SHOCKING EXCLUSIVE: Taxpayer Dollars from NIH Used to Create ‘Transgender Monkeys’ to Inject with mRNA Vaccines”
What a waste. They could have used this money to study why teenage boys get horny ... wait, we already know why ... forget it
