NIH To Drop Big Bucks On Exciting New Transgender Studies

Despite all of the left media complaints about how the GOP “hates science” and is slashing important funding, the Senate recently approved a two billion dollar increase in the budget for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). And given all the diseases running rampant, expanding work on cancer treatments and other advances, that’s probably a fair expenditure, right? That bump represents a 6% increase and brings their budget up to $36.1B.
So what will they be doing with this newfound taxpayer largess? Are they finally on the trail of a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease? Sadly no, but they will be commissioning a bunch of new studies into transgender issues at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars each. The Free Beacon had the story earlier this week.

The agency released two announcements Friday that it will soon begin accepting applications for transgender studies to begin next year, on the heels of the Republican-controlled Senate approving a $2 billion spending increase for the agency. What do you want to bet that no study will be accepted investigating the possibility that these Transgender people are mentally ill?

"What do you want to bet that no study will be accepted investigating the possibility that these Transgender people are mentally ill? " Absolutely spot on.
And why do they even conduct these studies when they already know the conclusion that they are going to reach? Seems it would be cheaper just to publish the predetermined results and leave it at that.

Are the people who purportedly “work” at NIH nitwits and fools. I guess my question is answered.

You have to be able to have some cooked numbers to cite after doing some jiggered study.
Not to mention that some scientist with all the politically correct ideas has to get paid.

This is just the sort of ‘Science’ that convinces me that government should not be funding science.
This, and of course. ‘Climate Change’ shows the dangers of government money in science. Those who control the flow of government money control the direction of science.
Those submitting grants for government funded studies know before hand what results those screening the grants are looking for and design their studies accordingly.
Government money is killing the advancement of science.

Only someone who is mentally ill would find studying transsexuals “exciting”.

Government is amazing, they spend billions to set up studies that the common man does for free on porn sites.
