Rachel Levine gets SKEWERED for suggesting 'gender affirmation treatments' somehow 'empower' youth
August 07, 2022
'Dr. Mengele would be proud'
A video clip has gone viral of U.S. Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine calling for laws to "support and empower" youths by not limiting their "participation in activities or sports" or "their ability to get gender affirmation treatment" in their state.
\u201cBiden Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine: We need to \u201cempower\u201d KIDS to go on puberty blockers and get sex reassignment surgery. \n\nhttps://t.co/CRPRaFYtzK\u201d— RNC Research (@RNC Research) 1659658686
Levine was speaking in opposition to states such as Florida that have taken steps to limit “transgender care” for children. Early treatments for children include puberty blockers and hormones, some of which were flagged by the FDA last month because of a “plausible” link to a serious brain disorder called "pseudotumor cerebri."
Reactions on Twitter were so irate that we can't share the vast majority of them here, so here's a sample of the more mild responses:
