Shuntrice Holloman commented on a Transgender Day of Visibility post about former NIH researcher Bali White, saying “Love this Bali!”

Bali is a man pretending to be a woman, who managed NIH initiatives for young trans women in the “ballroom community.” Ballroom is an underground subculture for the trans community, founded by black trans and queer people.

Not only should there be no researcher at NIH that denies there are 2 sexes and proceeds to groom our youth, there shouldn’t be someone so openly supporting this effort.

Background: According to NIH, “Ballroom culture consists of two primary features: anchoring family-like structures, called houses, and the flamboyant competitive balls that they produce… Led by house mothers and fathers, houses function as families whose main purpose is to organize elaborate balls and to provide support for their children to compete in balls as well as to survive in society as marginalized members of their communities of origin. Houses offer their children multiple forms of social support, a network of friends, and a social setting that allows free gender and sexual expression. Ultimately, houses within the ballroom community constitute figurative, and sometimes literal, “homes” for the diverse range of members involved in them... House parents recruit and prepare their children to compete in runway categories that are based on the deployment of performative gender and sexual identities, vogue and theatrical performances, and the effective presentation of fashion and physical attributes.” (Source)

Shuntrice Holloman wears many hats withing NIH, but a quick read of her bio will tell you she is the social chair for DEI efforts within NIH.

For instance, she “serves as a liaison between [the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion] and several institutes, while also helping to support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility activities across NIH.” She organizes the Federally Employed Women and Blacks in Government Speed Mentoring Event. She plans staff retreats for EDI, “focusing on cultivating a culture of high morale and excellence among EDI employees.”

Without Ms. Holloman, DEI within NIH might not be a well-oiled, unified machine.

Holloman recently scrubbed her LinkedIn profile of her DEI job. Her timing just happens to coincide with the inauguration of President Trump and his swift executive orders tackling DEI in the Federal bureaucracy.
