Nineteen Republican House members, led by Rep. Paul Gosar and including GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain, have sent a letter to the House Appropriations Committee urging the complete elimination of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for transgender animal testing in the fiscal year 2027 spending bill.
The letter cites investigations by the White Coat Waste Project, which recently revealed that the NIH allocated $584,117 of new taxpayer funding in January to a University of California–San Diego grant involving transgendering mice, according to a new report from Red Press Wire.
“Investigations by the non-profit White Coat Waste…have uncovered dozens of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants issued under the Biden Administration by Dr. Anthony Fauci. These grants have funded disturbing experiments to create ‘transfeminine’ and ‘transmasculine’ lab mice, rats, and monkeys to mimic transgender human children and adults. The animals subjected to invasive surgeries and hormone therapies were subsequently wounded, shocked, injected with street drugs and vaccinations, and endured other disturbing procedures,” the letter states.
The project involves thousands of female mice subjected to invasive surgeries, including ovary removal and testosterone injections, to “model transgender men.”
The experiments are expected to impact nearly 10,000 mice and include additional procedures such as skull drilling, brain toxin injections, and eventual decapitation.

White Coat Waste exposed this new funding earlier this week, noting it revives a Biden-era grant first uncovered by the group in December 2024.
WCW’s Justin Goodman revealed that “records obtained by White Coat Waste show this project will subject nearly 10,000 mice to horrific taxpayer-funded abuse.”
“Invasive surgeries and hormone injections meant to mimic transgender treatments, drilling into their skulls, injecting toxins into their brains, and ultimately decapitating them.”

The grant was among dozens identified by White Coat Waste that funded experiments under the Biden Administration to create “transfeminine” and “transmasculine” lab mice, rats, and monkeys mimicking transgender humans.
These procedures included hormone therapies, invasive surgeries, wounding, electric shocks, and injections of street drugs and vaccines.
This latest revelation comes despite previous assurances from HHS officials that such funding had ended.
Rich Danker at HHS previously told The Gateway Pundit that the agency was no longer funding transgender tests.
The HHS official stated, “None of the funds from these grants are currently funding transgender animal experiments, and no other NIH grants still fund transgender animal experiments.”
The move by the 19 lawmakers also follows The Gateway Pundit’s 2025 reporting on how WCW uncovered that NIH taxpayer dollars were used to create “transgender monkeys” by administering estrogen to male rhesus macaques and injecting them with mRNA vaccines to study feminizing hormone therapy effects.
Rep. Paul Gosar told Red Press Wire, “Tax dollars shouldn’t be funding the Biden Administration’s sickening transgender animal tests. That’s why I’ve been working with White Coat Waste to stop the NIH and other federal agencies from wasting money on this woke pseudoscience ever again.”
Goodman told the outlet:
“After White Coat Waste exposed millions in taxpayer-funded transgender animal tests, President Trump quickly put them on the chopping block—and cut them. Now, we’ve exposed that defiant NIH bureaucrats are bringing them back. Even though it didn’t have to, the NIH just doled out another half-million in taxpayer cash for a Biden-era experiment that crudely creates ‘female mice to model transgender men’ by cutting out their ovaries and pumping them with testosterone. Records obtained by White Coat Waste show this project will subject nearly 10,000 mice to horrific taxpayer-funded abuse—invasive surgeries and hormone injections meant to mimic transgender treatments, drilling into their skulls, injecting toxins into their brains, and ultimately decapitating them. White Coat Waste’s exposé of the NIH’s renewed funding to create ‘female mice to model transgender men’ proves that Rep. Gosar’s effort is vital to ensure taxpayers aren’t forced to bankroll these barbaric animal tests. The solution is simple: Stop the money. Stop the madness!”
