A U.S.-funded global analysis of “gender differences and social relations” – including those of transgendered persons – could cost American taxpayers $74 million.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) soon will issue a Request for Proposals seeking bids from contractors to carry out this worldwide endeavor, which will focus on the systematic gathering and analyzing of gender data over five years.

The Obama Administration through USAID will leverage this information to help it develop future foreign aid programs, according to a presolicitation notice that Patriot Update obtained via routine database research.

I’m sure the Muslim world would jump to fund such an effort.

Can I ask a stupid question?

Why do we need to spend any money or use any government resources on this issue? Can’t we leave the trans-whatever people to do whatever it is that they do?? Can’t we leave them to explore all of this with their doctors, therapists, San Francisco liberals, or any other interested people??????

The 74 million will be used to manufacture studies which will be used as irrefutable proof that what they wanted to do in the first place is what must be done.

If we win the Senate and POTUS, while gaining in the House, I hope one of the earliest actions in reducing spending would involve cutting out a LOT of foreign aid.

Such aid might make people “feel good”, but it has done nothing to garner any respect for the US from those countries who are just given millions and billions of dollars, which are usually skimmed off by the regimes running those countries.

Well, apparently they're not spending the $74 million to study queers merely for the sake of studying queers.

They're spending $74 million on studying queers in order to develop foreign aid programs for the queers. That makes it all better, don'cha know?
