Dept. of Agriculture Granted University $600K to Study ‘Menstrual Cycles in Trans Men’
“We know that this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
This wasn’t even uncovered by DOGE, it was a group called the American Principles Project.

Agriculture Dept. gave university $600K to study ‘menstrual cycles in trans men’
The U.S. Department of Agriculture granted Southern University Agricultural & Mechanical College in Louisiana $600,000 to study menstrual cycles in “transgender men,” according to a new database compiled by the American Principles Project.
The database, “Funding Insanity: Federal Spending on Gender Ideology under Biden-Harris,” states the school “will Study Menstrual Cycles in ‘Transgender Men And People With Masculine Gender Identities, Intersex, And Non-Binary Persons.’”
“The first occurrence of menstruation occurs at approximately 12 years of age and ends with menopause at roughly 51 years of age,” the grant description states. “A woman will have a monthly menstrual cycle for about 40 years of her life, averaging to about 450 periods over the course of her lifetime.”
“It is also important to recognize that transgender men and people with masculine gender identities, intersex and non-binary persons may also menstruate,” it states. “At any given moment about 26% of the world’s population is menstruating.”
The study aims to address “growing concerns” related to menstruation, including the potential use of natural fibers like hemp in feminine hygiene products.
The school did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the project via email in the last two weeks.
Reached by The Fix, an APP spokesman said the grant and others listed in the database are “the tip of the iceberg.”
“We know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Our project looked only at grants and contracts that specifically pertained to gender ideology in some way. But there is far more spending out there relating to DEI, critical race theory, and other left-wing ideologies that we did not capture here,” Paul Dupont told The Fix via email.
“There is a great deal of work that still needs to be done to identify and hopefully eliminate this graft. DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] is going to have some busy weeks and months ahead,” Dupont said.

Comments
Other than the question of whether the study is deserving of a federal grant at all, at least the subject is not fantasy. “Trans men” are women, and one would expect them to menstruate… especially with the half-assed superficial surgeries that pass for “transitioning” among today’s charlatans.
Every single department and agency of the government issues these kinds of ridiculous grants.
When will Doge get around to them?
Ovaries are not involved in an adadictomy.
I wish they had given me that money for this study; I would definitely have gotten to the bottom of this extremely critical question. Do transmen have periods? Survey says: yes because they are actually women. However, the massive amount of hormones they are taking to mimic being male likely will disrupt their cycle causing serious issues in terms of their ability to reproduce and atrophy of their sex organs; not to mention horrific pain. Now can someone pay up for my top notch research?
As a 70 year old non binary pansexual toaster (light/dark) I am on my 500th cycle. 10 years from now we will look back with amazement at how many people are morons.
