The study had a legitimate purpose, even though MAGAs are SOOOOOO kerfuffled by the very idea of transgender people. The idea was to determine how much menstruation depends on a biological clock and how much on a mental clock--in this instance, does the cerebrum affect what happens in the cerebellum in terms of women's hormonal changes.
The existence of transgender men who experience menstrual symptoms provided a unique experimental platform for this study, in that such individuals don't have female hormones provoking the menstrual cycle, other than whatever medications they take. So there could be a higher-brain-function element to menstruation, which if identified, could have significant impact on women's medicine. In other words, the study provided a unique experiemental perspective.
You see, Candy, I research and read and look things up. The David Millers of the world just yeep away on internet message boards. And they only yeep because they need something to complain about, and whatever it is was done by "the other guys." Trump telling his idiot followers to drink bleach and snort horse tranquilizers cost thousands of lives. But did David yeep? No way.
Also...those without proper education and/or a scientifically inclined mind tend to be dismissive of studies that don't seem important to them or whose conclusions are indeterminate. That, as I'm sure you know, is an attitude born of pure ignorance. Lots of people are dismissive of science in general--like Trump, Elon, and MAGA.
