The Things They Study

NIH Funding for things “Transgender”

The truth remains that the human body requires sex for existence, and that each human body is sexed into itself. This is in juxtaposition to the modern wisdom prevailing from the halls of academic research centers today. In these halls where scientism reigns, conquering human sex to usher in a brave new “gendered” world is the name of the game. Endeavors towards living in fake identities have led to unprecedented attacks on young bodies, minds, and ways of life that began decades ago. Such efforts require “research” tainted with the flavor of past horrors like lobotomies, the experimentation on the Tuskegee airman, the babies born to mothers prescribed thalidomide, and countless others.

Academic research institutions are charged with the task of dissociating “sex” from the human condition as they compete for private and public funding in contracts and grants. Research on once unimaginable topics takes place and degrees in once unimaginable specialties of medicine are conferred in these places. An army has been built to carry the work forward. Through cultural saturation and indoctrination into the foreign belief of a “gendered” world, research participants are not reluctant but eager to support the new cause. They are young. They are confused. They are deceived. They are lured to partake in medical programs that can never heal and only harm the human body.

The truth is no one really knows the outcomes that await youth offered puberty blockers, opposite sex hormones and surgical solutions to problems of the mind induced by the evil marketeers of a lie. This is a grand experiment. The possibilities though are endless for the academic research institutions as the idea of a “gendered” body is considered truth allowing harm to accumulate. As in all iatrogenic medicine, harm begets more opportunity which begets more funding. In a vicious cycle money flows into institutions who are now deeply compromised by a system harming many of the nation’s youth.

Research for academic medical centers comes from both public and private funding. This post highlights public funding for what is known as “transgender medicine.” This exercise is a way to shine light into the darkness and offer a glimpse of what is happening.  

The research list is curated from NIH’s RePORTER tool. The word “transgender” was searched eliciting over 2,700 results. Below is just a snippet of the things they study. It is easy to become disgusted by the research so skip to the end if needed. By reading through, the enormity of the industry and the way it courses through everything is evident. Study summaries and comments are my own.

In 2024, 481k is granted to Boston Children’s Hospital in a study titled “Skeletal Bone Health and Bone Marrow Composition Among Youth.” This is the continuation of a project receiving over 2.5m since 2020. The abstract informs that bone health can be compromised in transgender youth and adults.  None the less they press on claiming, “Examining how bone marrow composition is altered after pubertal blockade in transgender youth, and its relation to bone density, structure, and cross-sectional geometry, could provide a mechanistic understanding of the effects of a GnRH agonist on a young, immature skeleton.” The claim is that “little is known about pubertal blockade” but have a look at what the website Hormones Matter has to say about Lupron for Precocious Puberty.

The Boston Children’s study also claims to explore how hormones affect psychological well-being but is it not obvious that living in a body with a damaged skeleton for life is bound to be psychologically devastating? They do claim to be seeking “new avenues for identifying preventive strategies to counter potential adverse effects.” Can they just stop? Do these children really need more medication and not deserve to grow up in healthy bodies?

In 2024, 500k is granted to UCSD for “The TRANS-SAFE Patient Safety Learning Lab: Systems Improvement for Psychosocial Safety in Transgender Care.” In 2023, 500k was also awarded on the same project with the same team. This study claims to address psychosocial harm and transgender patient safety. The goal is to make a “sustainable contribution to the AHRQ’s patient safety mission.” AHRQ is the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. This is an organization that in 2013 highlighted the case of an 8 year old boy presenting as a girl to UCSF, one of the earliest and perhaps the biggest pusher of the “gender” industry. The case claims “gender identity is a medical condition” and that discrimination and lack of gender-affirming healthcare necessitate capturing '“gender identity” into the electronic health record.

What is the TRANS-SAFE study really about? The award goes to UCSD urology department with “gender-affirming” urology surgeon, Dr. Jennifer Tash Anger as the lead researcher. For this study researchers are working with WPATH to develop a “TRANS SAFE” certificate for healthcare organizations. Yes, the WPATH that has been in the news of late because of “pseudoscientific” claims. In other words, this study is not about psychosocial concerns of patients but about growing medical programs.

Have a look at Dr. Angers tweets and decide whether this is about patients or about surgeons and medical programs in a controversial field. Here the doctor claims she is “super excited to use the SP robot for gender-affirming vaginoplasty!” Here she stands by a raised transgender flag with Dr. Marci Bowers, the prolific MTF transgender surgeon who provided her training. Here under the USPATH/WPATH banner, she shares the message, “Gender affirming care is not experimental.”

In 2024, 131k is granted to Stanford to study “The Impact of Testosterone on Vaginal Atrophy and the Vaginal Microbiome in Transgender Men.” The claim is made that most “transgender men” develop vagina atrophy as well as other complications but that the association between the atrophy and the biome of a “testosterone-exposed vagina” is unknown. They claim there is an urgent need to assess interventions to improve sexual health and suggest intravaginal estrogen. The NIH study summary says, “This research also leverages the expertise of Stanford’s LGBTQ+ Health Program and The PRIDE Study/ PRIDEnet, both of which are national leaders in LGBTQ+ healthcare and research, as well as Dr. Tordoff and her mentor’s significant experience conducting community-engaged research with transgender men.”

Dr. Tordoff is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford who has years of experience with LGBTQ patients. The doctor is accused of making false claims regarding the use of puberty blockers in “gender-affirming” care for children. Perhaps Dr. Tordoff’s goals are really about growing the synthetic sex industry?

PRIDEnet is a project of Stanford and UCSF that connects the LGBTQIA+ community to research. It is also a National Community Engagement Partner for NIH’s All of Us Research Program.  PRIDEnet has more than 30 partnerships and has aided in over 30 studies. They claim to develop relationships, recognize complex identities and communities, and create equity. Those are bold claims for what might be considered abuse of research participants. 

In 2024, 601k will go to the Washington University for a study called  “Efficacy of a Multi-level School Intervention for LGBTQ Youth.” They claim a lack of bullying policies drive problems in sexual and gender minority youth. Proof is offered by a 9-year feasibility study. Since 2019 this project has been funded to the tune of 2.2M. Efforts began in 4 school districts and are now expanding into 24. If successful (which they no doubt will claim so), “this project will provide direction for a larger randomized control trial on the effectiveness of this intervention, and participation will address the behavioral health concerns found in this vulnerable population.” Despite whistleblower Jamie Reed’s concerns over the health of children at the Washington University Transgender Center, the university is determined to push harmful practices on children. Do these sorts of interventions really create stress and drive patients into harms way?

In 2024, 323k will go to the University of Rochester for a study called “Advancing Smoking Cessation Among Transgender individuals.” A mobile intervention (NIH abbreviation mHEALTH) for smoking cessation among Latino transgender men and women will be studied. Over many years, a mobile app for US Latinos was developed to help the population stop smoking by offering free nicotine replacement therapy through an e-Pharmacy. This effort was expanded to HIV positive Latinos. Now they claim the unique needs of transgender patients are not met with the original app and so the need for yet another study.

Taking cross sex hormones is harmful in itself. Could this app really be about providing access to HIV and gender -affirming medications and creating more harm? The funding comes from the National Cancer Institute. With synthetic sex medicine a new medical craze, a rise in cancers is sure to follow this population.

In 2024, 65k is granted to Columbia university for the “Development of Testing of MyPEEPS Mobile for Young Transgender Men.” This research is to increase pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of HIV medication in confused females and follows 341k for funding in 2022 and 319k in 2023. Encouraging uptake in HIV medication is concerning when reports on the safety and effectiveness of PrEP is not what is claimed and lawsuits pile up for drugs.

Rebecca Schnall and Robert Garofalo are familiar research partners with NIH funding also linking young confused males to PrEP via mHEALTH. Schnall is a professor in population and family health at the Columbia School of Nursing and was has been elected to the International Nursing Hall of Fame. The focus of her work is health information technologies and HIV. I suspect that a growing body of the US population does not believe “transgender” has a thing to do with the “health” of a population. Consider what these parents say it has done to their families.

Garofalo has played a big role in pushing transgender medicine on US children. He is a lead researcher in the Trans Youth Research Network. In 2024 Garofalo participated in a 867k NIH funded study called “The Early Impact on Treatment in Transgender Youth.” The study concluded, “The most common adverse event was suicidal ideation with death by suicide occurring in 2 participants.” Money flows despite the harm.

In 2024, 213k is granted to the University of Cincinnati for a study called “Improving the accessibility of transgender voice training with visual-acoustic feedback.”  They claim “voice dysphoria” happens when a “person’s voice does not match their gender identity,” giving the example of “transwomen with deep voices”. Never mind that “gender identity” is a made-up construct whose purpose is to drive industry. The goal of “gender-affirming voice and communication training” (NIH acronym GAVT) is the development of the first transgender voice training software. Funding goes to the engineering department and hails from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. “Gender identity” commandeers money that could study actual problems people face, not ones resulting from false industry beliefs. The deaf community might not find this the best use of funding.

In 2024, 161k is granted to Boston Medical Center for research titled “Building Methods to assess and address cardiovascular health in transgender adults.” In total 664k has been granted over four years for this effort. Lead researcher Carl Streed will be using the electronic health data of Fenway Health transgender patients. Claims are made the goal is to help prevent heart attacks and stroke in patients. The study does not say but one might imagine the addition of more drugs to control the harm resulting from drugs to “transition”.

Streed also intends to use funding to participate in grant writing classes and present at research settings. He will take classes at Boston University to “build a cutting-edge independent research program” on the cardiovascular health of sexual and gender minorities. Halting “transition”medication to confused patients would go a long way, but apparently NIH has big transgender research programs in mind.

Carl Streed is lead researcher for the GenderCare Center at Boston Medical Center. There he is a faculty advisor of the Medical Student Pride Alliance, a member of the larger non-profit of the same name started in 2018. He is also the president of USPATH, the US arm of WPATH. With these affiliations and memberships in the American Medical Association and GLMA, the synthetic sex industry shows no signs of stopping. Streed says in this article, “The evidence shows that using male and female as the only options on birth certificates is not consistent with scientific reality.” Really? Is Streed just one of many medical professionals pushing propaganda for business?

In 2022 216k went to Seattle Children’s Hospital to study “an intervention to promote healthy relationships among transgender and gender expressive youth.” Providers claimed that puberty blockers can reduce “dysphoria.” Anyone else think the diagnosis of “gender dysphoria” is trending and blockers should never be used for hip diagnoses? The NIH summary claims that youth wanted communication skills on disclosure of their synthetic identity. Only in a brave new world would a study be needed to help what many practitioners are already doing – guiding youth into harmful “care”.

Youth participants provided design guidance for an interactive tool using color coded palettes. In the next step a team of youth and consultants will be convening to design an app. Such tools are known by the acronym OISET, for “online interactive sexual education tool.” As the study says, “It will result in the first evidence- and strengths-based online sexual health intervention for TGE youth.” Does using misguided youth in studies to develop apps provide evidence?

On and On…

On and on this list reads. There are mouse studies modeling male to female “transition” to assess vaccine response, studies to build a pipeline of HIV behavioral scientists with expertise in transgender patients,  and studies on confused youth making decisions around fertility.  There are loads of studies on HIV including research into developing a consortium of partners for mostly racial minority youth. Pushing PrEP on as many patients as possible is a goal. They claim they have “exceptional access to youth” for their work in clinical trials including those that require investigational new drugs and pharmacy services. And they do. NIH has been funding it for decades. Minority populations and youth are convenient cohorts for medical scams. There are also plenty of studies on the stress created by the growing disaster, only they claim “social justice oriented policy can promote well-being for transgender adolescents and families.” mHEALTH, OISET, and all things tech are big drivers of funding. They are also convenient ways to market a scandal to vast vulnerable populations.

Quack Medicine is the recent cry from The Times of London. This is a welcome sign but given NIH funding, the number of US children’s gender clinics, US school SOGI curriculums, the constant bombardment of identity flags, and special days for a population that barely existed twenty years ago, the heart and soul of the gender industry appears to be in the US. It is an industry that presses on no matter what.

WPATH does not have a large membership yet the filth they offer courses through all of American culture. A recent search showed there were only 2,774 members in WPATH. No doubt far more participate in the industry as just about all US institutions and corporations have taken the pledge to “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” None the less it would be wise to consider that of the 2,774 WPATH members, 2,088 (or 75%) are based in the US. The US synthetic sex industry will need to be taken kicking and screaming to its bitter end.
