This moron is going to start filing bills terminating funding for transportation, movies about Transylvanian vampires and trans-Atlantic relations long before she ever bothers to learn what a transgenic mouse is.
@SeanCasten This can´t be real?
Republicans claim government spent millions on 'transgender mice.' Here's the truth

The conservative-led nonprofit White Coat Waste claims the government spent $250 million on "transgender animal experiments."

@photovotary @WaardRichard @SeanCasten yes, real and from over a year ago. IIRC this was Feb 2025.

Disinformation is not a bug. It is the feature. Whether she understands the issue or not, the idea could be use to make an effective piece of propaganda.

Clarifying Misinformation About “Transgender Mice” in Research - Americans for Medical Progress

March 12, 2025 Americans for Medical Progress (AMP) issued statement today to correct misinformation circulating about "transgender mice" in research. Recent claims about federally funded research on “transgender mice” are inaccurate and misleading. This research is not related to gender identity; instead, they are focused on studying biological and reproductive development. Some have suggested the

@SeanCasten
I wonder if the transcontinental railroad could be built today.

@dendari @SeanCasten you really think these idiots would build railroads?

They think they can "cure" autism

@SeanCasten yet their top health person will pull over and cut the penis out of a dead raccoon on the side of the road

@SeanCasten

mace really is an idiot

transgenic, nancy, transgenic

@SeanCasten Low-key hilarious that they used the trans flag colours for the NO TRANS MICE logo
@SeanCasten Tell her to stop transaminase, it's safer for us, as she whould disapear...
@SeanCasten
They were referring to various hormone experiments using animal test subjects, not transgenic mice. Still a grossly dishonest portrayal of the research, but it's good to do your own homework first as well.
@SeanCasten "end taxpayer funded cruelty" lol

@SeanCasten

I…was not under the impression that any such experiments were happening.

What would even be the point? We already have centuries of data from humans who changed gender of their own accord.

Also, sexual dimorphism in mice is completely different from humans, so the envisioned experiments would be useless anyway. Mice don't have boobs. Mice are similar to humans in a variety of interesting ways, but this isn't one of them.

@argv_minus_one @SeanCasten I think the pun is that "trans mice" are actually "transGENIC" mice, not "transGENDER" mice. But she doesn't know.

@aurochs

I see.

You'd think someone whose job is to write laws would pay closer attention to how words are spelled…

@SeanCasten

@argv_minus_one @SeanCasten to see how hormone treatment interacts with other medicines
@SeanCasten All that woke came through the transatlantic cable.

@SeanCasten

tell her the catholic church turns bread and wine into the body and blood of christ, a process called transubstantiation

trans christ!?

😱

😒

what an aggressively stupid and, uh, transgressive person

@benroyce @SeanCasten

There are trannies hiding under the floor of every automatic gearbox car.
This is not automotive engineering but ideology !!1!!111

@n_dimension @benroyce @SeanCasten actually, the manual ones have trannies too

@benroyce

A canonically trans Christ!? Well, he did transform after a few days dead ...

@SeanCasten

@alexadeswift @benroyce @SeanCasten Wasn't he a zombie when he came back? He told one of his followers to stick their fingers in the holes of his wounds for some reason?
@benroyce @SeanCasten They haven't given a fuck about christ in years. Too woke for their christian fascism.

@SeanCasten

They are coming after transistor radios next. Our trans sisters need their radios.

@SeanCasten omg someone was standing behind the door when the brains were being given out
@oisin @SeanCasten Some people are so stupid, I wonder how they're able to breathe unassisted.
@SeanCasten Murdering people in a war worth hundreds of billions is not a waste of taxpayers' money.
@SeanCasten Indistinguishable from satire.

@SeanCasten This kind of stuff used to be called "satire".

You used to find it in a "Spitting Image" episode, inside the pages of "Private Eye" or on webpages of "The Onion". Maybe on the radio in the form of the dulcet tones that filled a "Week Ending" program.

Satire is dead.

It has been mulched, buried, exhumed, poisoned, burnt in a furnace and then re-buried.

In a hermetically sealed casket.

@SeanCasten everyon of the gov is a moron, worse an oxi moron. Idiots at work. Brain worms!!!
@SeanCasten
What is transgenic mouse tho? I hear about it for the first time.

@Maned_Fox @SeanCasten

Note: this is transGENIC not transgender.

Transgenic mice are mice which have had genes inserted / deleted in their genome so that they express (or not) proteins which are thought to be important in diseases.

The older term for them was knock-out or knock-in (genes deleted or introduced).

They have been around since the 1970s and are important in cancer and medicine research.

The senator is displaying her total ignorance of the English language. No respect due. At all.

Knockout Mice Fact Sheet

A knockout mouse is a laboratory mouse in which researchers have inactivated an existing gene by replacing it or disrupting it with an artificial piece of DNA.

@tribactam @SeanCasten

Thank you! I'll read about this interesting thing.

To be very honest, my dumbass would thought too that these are transgender mouses if i would heard about it somewhere without a proper explanation. And because english is not my native language as well. 

@Maned_Fox @SeanCasten Have you heard about search engines?
@SeanCasten I researched and from what I understand, he didn't confuse the terms; he distorted the research. Damn the day that Euhemerist country became a power
@SeanCasten Reminds me of the 2008 election when Sarah Palin was getting all worked up about spending money studying fruit flies. Only one of the most important organisms used to study #genetics, and a significant pest in #agriculture #science

@SeanCasten

ignorance in all its glory

what a fuckwit

@SeanCasten there's this phrase that says "don't attribute to malice what you can explain with stupidity", but given how much the far right is prone to mudding the waters, right now I'm convinced it's the other way around: this is on purpose.

@SeanCasten

Any organic chemists out there? Don't get too comfortable, these fucking dipshits will be after you next.

@SeanCasten

omg

are they going to stop neutering male horses and cattle and pigs?

Dogs and cats?

Are they going to take on CIRCUMCISION?

or cis-normative surgery on intersex babies?

@SeanCasten She should get back to work outlawing Trans-missions. 🤡 🤣
@SeanCasten For decades, Silicon Valley has been pushing the pernicious ideology of transistors

@SeanCasten
On the plus side, she’ll be gone next year, since she lost the election for governor and didn’t run for reelection to the House.

I would love to know what broke her brain. People like her ought to be studied. (We have the state level equivalent, Kathleen Kauth in Nebraska.)

@SeanCasten I had no idea what transgenic was. Took me *20 seconds* to look it up. Would've been half that time if It shouldn't have gone to sleep 2 hours ago.

This is an idiot rep.

@SeanCasten With Mace, it's often difficult to tell when she's being merely performative -- knowing that SoCa voters are too dumb to know -- or really is that stupid. In this case, though, I'm confident it's the former. She's been told, more than once. She knows. This is trolling her own voters, because she knows they're stupid enough to believe it. After all, they voted for her. Five times so far.

The lesson to take away here is that South Carolina voters are very stupid.

@SeanCasten Well, I would say animals should not be used for ANY experimentation. The other animals do not owe us anything after what we've done to their natural environments.

For context, I was part of the two decade long fight that shut down puppy-killing vivisection lab Huntingdon Life Sciences

@SeanCasten Nancy "Potty Monitor" Mace at it again. Co-sponsored by Gosar, Boebert, et al. in what I can only assume is the Low IQ caucus.
@SeanCasten EXCLUSIVE: Rep Nancy Mace with her advisors writing new laws. That's her third from the left.
@SeanCasten lots of animals spontaneously change sex if there are no mates. It's a natural thing. Nancy Mace would never be caught doing something natural.
