President Donald Trump has directed the NIH to study 'regret' after transgender people transition, as he continues to clamp down on 'wokeness' in government agencies.
Several NIH staff members who spoke under the condition of anonymity, confirmed the directive to Nature.
Two weeks ago, Matthew Memoli, who was acting NIH director at the time, sent an email that was obtained by Nature. It outlined two areas of research the Trump administration wants to fund concerning the transgender experience.
The first focus is 'regret and detransition following social transition as well as chemical and surgical mutilation of children and adults' and the second research request is 'outcomes from children who have undergone social transition and/or chemical and surgical mutilation'.
But Harry Barbee, who studies LGBTQ+ topics at Johns Hopkins University, says the decision to solely focus on the negative consequences of transitioning will only serve to support what trans advocate call Trump's anti-trans agenda.
Estimates suggest there are 1.6million transgender Americans in the US. About 25 percent of them undergo gender-affirming surgery. Research has suggested these procedures reduce anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.
According to an analysis by Barbee and their colleagues, fewer than one percent of transgender people regret the surgeries, compared to 14 percent of all people who regret any type of surgery.
It is believed NIH grants funding around 187 trans-health studies have been cut, according to research conducted by Brittany Charlton, an epidemiologist at Boston's Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.

A lot of “Red Queens” will be talking backwards when they find out how the president has completely changed the emphasis of the NIH. It’s past time to hear from the other side of that Gender Surgery coin.
How long before boseburg or whatever his name is, declares the Trump must reinstate tyranny funding?
“Trump’s anti-trans agenda”
Trump’s agenda in this regard, in this field, is THE sane agenda.
It’s going to happen no doubt about it.
NIH needs to fund objective studies regarding outcomes of sexually-mutilating and hormanal-mutilating in general, including rates of regret, rates of attempted or desired reversals, and rates of suicide compared to the general population and compared to those trans who did NOT mutilate ...
I don’t remember any trannies when I grew up in the mid 60’s.
Lola?
I don’t remember he/she/it either.
It was a song by The Kinks. What about J. Edgar Hoover?
Now I remember! The song by The Kinks.
The dems are themselves led by the nose on this propaganda and I’d like to know who exactly it is.
Actually research shows just the opposite.
God bless the President.
Me either....................
“Research has suggested these procedures reduce anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts.“
Experience suggests otherwise.
I always thought that should have been done with the 'climate' research projects
Time to end negro research and look at it from the wasted money effect on
whites.
The large Democrat campaign and other contributors are public information.
You know who they are.
Without them the Democrat Party is the Whigs.
