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 https://www.amprogress.org/research-news/2025/03/clarifying-misinformation-about-transgender-mice-in-research/
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
@dendari @SeanCasten you really think these idiots would build railroads?
They think they can "cure" autism
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.
I see.
You'd think someone whose job is to write laws would pay closer attention to how words are spelled…
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
There are trannies hiding under the floor of every automatic gearbox car.
This is not automotive engineering but ideology !!1!!111
They are coming after transistor radios next. Our trans sisters need their radios.
@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.
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.
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. 
Any organic chemists out there? Don't get too comfortable, these fucking dipshits will be after you next.
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
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
