"CANCELLED: $600,000 grant to study 'menstrual cycles in transgender men,'" Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said on X last week. That's not what it was.

Summary

The USDA canceled a $600,000 grant to Southern University after DOGE falsely claimed it funded research on “menstrual cycles in transgender men.”

The grant actually focused on developing natural-fiber menstrual products and educating women on menstrual health.

Conservative groups flagged the study, leading to its cancellation despite no evidence it prioritized transgender men.

DOGE has a history of misrepresenting government spending, and the decision aligns with Trump’s executive order limiting recognition of gender diversity.
