Two weeks ago, Matthew Memoli, who was acting NIH director at the time, sent an e-mail to the directors of several NIH institutes. It said that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is the NIH’s parent agency, “has been directed to fund research on a few specific areas” related to what it calls “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children and adults — a reference to gender-affirming care and surgery. “This is very important to the President and the Secretary” of the HHS, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the e-mail added.
Whatever they find, they’re going to try and spin it to suit their agenda. They’re not interested in actual facts.

They are targeting adults.
US people:
Create a backup plan for access to HRT. Now.
Prepare in advance, stockpile what you legally (or in minecraft) can, find diy that you trust.
They are going to take your medically required medication from you. This study is expected to start in about six months, and will likely be bullshit that only takes a couple months after that. There is still time.
However, I would predict an almost guarantee of a major federal legal restriction on adult HRT access in the 6mo-1yr from now range. I don’t want any of the bullshit I got at the time of the election about “fearmongering”. I stand by everything I said then.
Not just a good idea for US-based people. Everyone make sure you have a plan B and plan C because the heritage foundation is pushing this nonsense around the world.
