Turns out people don’t like to be called out when they cite their “relationship anarchy” as a reason for why they treated you as disposable.

Given the platform, I wanted to make sure I used it well & clearly articulated my message:

"Thru anti-DEI & anti-trans executive orders & laws, the administration seeks to restore hierarchies centered around race & gender, resegregating America. A textbook example of fascism."

My speech for the Philly #StandUpForScience Protest.

Everything I do is for my community 💜✨
Hello Philadelphia! I’m Dr. Eartha Mae Guthman. I’m a Philadelphian, a trans woman, a neuroscientist, and a proud card carrying union member with UAW. I first worked in a lab 15 years ago. I fell in love then and there with the scientific method, and I've worked as a scientist ever since. Today, I want to talk to you about how this administration’s attacks on trans people and trans health research harm us all. When I began transitioning seven years ago, I was terrified! For my safety. For my scientific career. Would my colleagues find me credible? Would they see a scientist who happened to be trans, or would they only see me through the lens of my transness? I decided then, regardless of the outcome, I would dedicate my life to improving healthcare for trans people. For the past seven years I’ve worked towards this goal. I’ve spent holidays inventing new tools to study the brain and behavior. I’ve spent weeks going to work after dark, sitting with my mice to run overnight experiments, and then coming home, crossing the Delaware with the sunrise. I’ve been fortunate to have achieved success in my work: I’ve published over a dozen papers, including guides on how to develop animal models for hormone therapy; I’ve been awarded highly competitive NSF and NIH grants; I’ve been appointed a fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies and at other academic organizations. And, about a year ago, I received the best news of my career: I had been awarded a prestigious NIH grant to not only fund my research at Princeton, but to provide me funding to start my own lab. In my lab, I want to ask questions about how hormones impact the brain to influence mood, the body, and behavior. I want to apply this research to design better hormone therapies– yes, for gender affirming care, but also for birth control, menopause, endometriosis, PCOS, the list goes on! My goal, set so many years ago, was within my grasp. I had put in the work and sacrifice, taken the risks, and it had all seemed worth it. But my dream grows less likely by the day because of Republican efforts to reverse decades of acceptance for various minorities. Through anti-DEI and anti-trans executive orders and laws, the administration seeks to restore hierarchies centered around race and gender, resegregating America. A textbook example of fascism and fascist takeover of institutions. Trump’s anti-DEI and anti-trans executive orders censor me and those like me. At the State of the Union on Tuesday, Trump complained that NIH wasted money on “transgender mice”, directly attacking the work my colleagues and I do. Wednesday, a White House press release called trans health research “fraud” and “waste”. Yesterday, Nature reported that the administration has bypassed congressional control of the budget to terminate ongoing grants related to trans healthcare. They report that the NIH will terminate hundreds of already awarded, active research grants if they support DEI or trans people in any way. I don't know how or if I’ll get paid next month, and I don't know if I’ll actually get the funds that congress has already awarded me to start my lab. I don't know what's going to happen to my career, and I'm really fucking furious. I've dedicated my entire adult life to this work. But to Trump and his supporters, I am not a scientist who should be judged for the work I do, who happens to be trans. To them, I am trans, and therefore cannot contribute to science because I’m inherently biased and unfit. But I'm here speaking to you now because this moment is about more than just me. Under the guise of this anti-trans and anti-DEI moral panic, Republicans are weaponizing the state to attack all science. Their actions prevent us from making life-saving discoveries across all fields. They see science as a tool to control people and carve their desired reality into our bodies and minds, not as a way to understand our beautifully complex world. But we can stop them. Because we are many, and they are so, very, very few. Right now we need to give our legislators hell until they start standing up for us. Push universities to establish contingency funds for researchers whose active funding is terminated. And keep showing up, keep protesting. Keep standing up to cruel bullies and fascists. Don’t comply with unjust orders or demands, fight back! Fight for a world where the next scientist like me is seen for her contributions to science and human health, not seen only as trans. And lastly, fight for a world that loves and values trans people.

He's not referring to transgenic mice. He's referring to mouse models of gender affirming hormone therapy/other mouse models related to trans health, which do exist & received federal funding, at least until now. It's important research, suggesting he's talking about transgenic mice doesn't help 🧪

Trans mice matter!
endoeartha.bsky.social eartha mae @endoeartha.bsky.social · Mar 5
They laugh at "transgender mice" bc they know cutting research funding is a step towards removing our autonomy to exist *~transsexually~*. These mouse models of gender affirming hormone therapy will help us improve trans healthcare. That's why they want to stop us.
