AP post on USAID cuts backfires as critics question taxpayer-funded Nepal transgender jobs
An Associated Press social media post about transgender aid workers in Nepal turning to sex work after losing their jobs due to U.S. foreign aid cuts sparked a wave of conservative backlash, with critics arguing the video made the case for defunding USAID rather than saving it.
The AP post said that in Nepal, where “a conservative culture leaves openly transgender people with few legal job options,” around 100 LGBTQ aid workers left jobless by U.S. funding cuts had turned to sex work to survive. An accompanying video focused on Rubi Lama, a former HIV outreach worker who said USAID-funded programs had provided free condoms, lubricant and HIV-prevention medication before the cuts.
“When USAID funding was there, condoms were free, lubricant was also distributed … for free,” Lama said in the video, adding that HIV treatments, including PrEP, were also available without cost. “But, now it is gone.”
Maybe the funding should have gone to things like keeping people from getting HIV, teaching them that unprotected sex with people who like butt sex is a bad idea? Of course, probably only around 20-30% of the money actually went to the “program”, with the rest disappearing into the pockets of NGOs and government officials.
The framing quickly drew criticism from conservatives who said the story raised the opposite question: why American taxpayers were funding those programs in the first place.
Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, was among the conservatives who argued the AP report made the opposite point from the one intended.
“Our tax dollars no longer fund employment for transgender Nepalese sex workers,” Gill wrote on X. “Thank you for reminding us why defunding USAID was long overdue.”
“Wow very grateful that my tax dollars are no longer funding a bunch of random trannies in Asia,” mocked Daily Wire host Matt Walsh “Is that the point you were trying to make or did you expect us to be somehow sad about this?”
They wanted us to be sad.
But Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway argued the AP post exposed misplaced priorities, particularly among the media, saying the outlet presented U.S. tax dollars flowing to a “trans Nepalese job protection program” as though it was a good use of public money.
“The AP announces that your hard-earned tax dollars were flowing to a trans Nepalese job protection program as if that was an even remotely good use of your money,” Hemingway wrote in a post on X. “AP is sick Democrat propaganda.”
If Democrats are so upset let them raise the funds and support this themselves. Which they really won’t do, because they don’t want to spend their own personal money on this stuff. Especially the rich ones and politicians, because the “aid” money is meant to reward those friendly NGOs and then be kickbacks to the Democrat politicians and USAID employees.
Plus:
The premise of the article is that Trans people have no other options to seek employment… but they obviously have all the same ability to seek employment as everyone else in their nearly homogeneous society. It is trivially easy for a trans person to “pretend” to be their actual sex in a society that rejects their trans selves. They just don’t want to. They are mentally ill.
The Perfesser feels trans persons should pretend to be who they are not to gain employment.
The Perfesser, like all MAGAts, is mentally ill.
Not only does the Perfesser not understand the biology of gender development, he is too lazy to even try to understand.
He, like all MAGAts, prefers the spread of AIDS. Youse guys are getting dumber and crueler.
What is wrong with the American ignorati under Donny Demento? (It’s a cult)
“The professor is mentally ill..”
Actually, the tranny is the one who’s mentally ill
Let’s get this straight. USAID paid some 100 LGBTQ aid workers for counseling, condoms, drug treatments ect. Despotic Donny and TRILLIONAIRE Musky eliminated their jobs in hyper-conservative Nepal where LGBTQ persons can’t find other work, so some turned to sex-work to survive.
Donny Dickhead and Teach consider this a win!!
They saved a few million dollars. Donny Decadent spent a BILLION US taxpayer dollars upgrading the personal luxury jet given HIM by QATAR. He will take the jet with him when he leaves office. That’s a good deal for him! And corrupt as hell. But that’s Donny Dillinger for ya!
Kunservatives Be Krazy!!
Ms Teach typed: “If Democrats are so upset let them raise the funds and support this themselves.”
If MAGAts/FAGAts want Donny Demento to doll up a QATARI jet for his personal use, let them raise the funds and suppo(r)t this themselves.
If MAGAts/FAGAts want Donny Demento to doll up the Reflection Pond/East Wing/Arc de Trumpf for his personal amusement, let them raise the funds and support this themselves.
If MAGAts/FAGAts want Donny Demento to fuck around and find out in Iran let them raise the funds and support this themselves.
If MAGAts/FAGAts want Donny Demento to award contracts to Big Oil for exploiting Venzuelan oil reserves for their profit, let them raise the funds and support this themselves.
If MAGAts/FAGAts want Donny Demento to play golf every weekend for his personal amusement, let them raise the funds and support this themselves.
Wow-is this your time of the month? They have over the counter drugs that help..
