The Pavlovian conditioning in some US right-wing folks of 'see word transgender' -> 'brain off' is sad.
Especially since it was created just by hammering people with repeated exposure to biased media over ~5 years.
If someone would take a beat, even from that biased copy, they might think that studying the effects of hormone treatment in animal models would be scientifically productive, regardless of how one feels about human transgender rights.
