Key takeaway Nancy Mace, a self-described "proud transphobe", made a statement on X about experiments on mice.
A local politician has sparked controversy with a claim about taxpayer funding. Rep. Nancy Mace, a self-described "proud transphobe", made a statement on X about experiments on mice.
She alleged that American taxpayers are paying for research to make mice transgender. The claim has been disputed by the network's community and journalism. Mace has proposed legislation, the TRANS MICE Act, to prohibit federal funds from being used for such research.
She has expressed strong opinions on the matter, stating that animals should not be used for what she calls "radical transgender experiments". Further details on the claim and the proposed legislation are available from the source, including Mace's full statement on X.
