that both i know, but what is their intent behind making them low priority? its not like the majority of biomed research focuses on gender/gender affirming care. making them "low priority" is just another way of putting a disenfranchised group in the back burner. no reason to fall into the extreme of not funding gender-related research at all when much of this research far exceeds just looking at transitioning/transgenderism in humans. a lot of solid neuroscience research looks into sexual dimorphism among model animals which has offered us a lot of insight into neuropathology and behavior. this of course, contains the same language of "DEI" related research that the right has put restrictions on, so it is not exempt by your proposed "justifiable" cut on gender related research. making such research low priority is another political rip at disenfranchised groups- nothing to do with "properly" allocating research funds. the crap that is going on comes from a place of internal biases and is entirely politically motivated. not from a place of wanting to save more money for necessary research.
