There was one transgenic study. The rest were on transgender mice. And yet, I keep seeing this misinformation repeated on social media. It's really important that we correct this one. Fox News already had a field day claiming liberals lied...It is transgender mice. blah blah blah. I read every last one of these studies. I am blurry-eyed!
It doesn't matter if scientists are studying transgenic or transgender mice. Conservatives heard "trans" and decided it goes against their Bible. Just like they banned any and all mention of the aircraft known as "Enola GAY," which dropped a bomb on Japan in WWII. Words like GAY and TRANS are dog whistles for Republicans, are a signal that they should manufacture some outrage about something. Just wait till they find out about the entire TRANS orchestra from Siberia, ok.
Unfortunately, they have built their entire campaign on othering. We have two wars right now—a messaging war and a disinformation war. Their homophobic messaging is much harder to change. I am trying to fight the disinformation war. One lie that was spread all over social media (by liberals) is that Republicans are confusing transgenic with transgender. We need those transgender mice studies. I say lean into it, instead of finding "gotcha" moments.
It is very difficult to fix the following problems:
People deliberately lying in a credulous manner, misleading already biased people too uninformed and incurious to notice.
People spitting into the wind.
Coming inside and neatly writing out accurate notes is always useful. Thank you for letting us read them.
...rodent men...????
Yuck.
I would be writing funny article about rodent men if we were not living in such a shitshow! I miss the before times.
And I would happily read them and laugh 😃, but unfortunately the shitshow demands our attention.
You still make me giggle at odd moments.
Hmmm … are you sure that Trump didn’t get everything wrong from the get-go? I kind of think we are talking about “Transgenic Mice” here.

Carolyn, could you point me at that study, I really would like to read it. I have absolutely no idea what is a “transgender mouse”.

I guess Trans AM owners are going underground.
