This is purely SATANIC.

I remember when Reagan called the USSR the "evil empire." He was correct at the time.

But my, how times have changed.

Rachel Levine is a LIAR.

It is not evidenced-based; it is the opposite.

Kids who suffer from GD due to an endocrine issue usually pass the dysphoria stage after they become adults and puberty ends. Only those who are still battling dysphoria in their 20s are incurable.

At that point, they are adults and can make their own decisions.

You are mistaken.

For a small segment of the population, it is an endocrine issue (sometimes curable, sometimes not) or a genetic disorder.

The number of actual trans people is a tiny percentage of the population. The number of pretenders/fakers/confused is ridiculously high.

My child is in the first category; incurable endocrine disorder. She scored in the top 1% of the STAAR exams.

"Can" but it's extremely rare. At least 99% of mutilated children are simply ruined for life.
I would say science (real science) does not condone such high number of failures.
As far as dangerous fads go, let's go back to eating Tide Pods.

Deluded and evil.

Here is a great short vid that discusses and well explains why this mania will be so hard to stop.

This pervert should NEVER be allowed around children, supervised or not.

There is NO, zero, zilch, nada, evidence that “gender-affirming” treatment in any way, shape, form, manner or fashion, reduces in the least the probability that the child will be either more or less likely to commit suicide, depending on whether or not the “affirmation” is carried out. That is simply not quantifiable.

Left to their own devices, or with some REAL psychological therapy, and not just mumbo-jumbo pseudoscientific babble, virtually all children will eventually outgrow this urge to physically transform their bodies to conform to some fruit-loops medical practitioner’s idea of what is “right”.

Once undertaken, the physical transformation leaves the victim mutilated, sterile, and with a lifetime dependency on specialized medical treatment, rendering them an unusual burden on family and society for the duration of their lives, for very little gain in productivity or satisfaction, if any at all.

The only “transgender” change possible is to change a biological male into a neuter, or a biological female into a neuter. It is beyond the capability of medical intervention today to make a full transition of male into female, or female into male. It may NEVER be possible, as it would mean altering just about every one of the billions of somatic cells that make up the human body so that XX becomes XY, or XY becomes XX.

Neva happen, GI.

If people can be talked into adopting this as “normal”, they could be talked into anything, no matter how bizarre, as they shall have by then totally voided their own capacity for judgment.

Has any reporter asked Levine why European countries have stopped treating minor children with hormones, puberty blockers and surgery? That they treat their psychological care first? And they say USA has maltreatment of transgender-identifying kids?

He cut his own penis off. What stable person does that?

The real shame is he didn’t use a dull, rusty knife.

Richard is delusional. I feel sympathy for his wife and kids.

Gender-affirming care should mean treatment that helps kids be comfortable in the bodies they’re born with, whether it’s psychological counseling or medication to correct hormonal or brain chemistry issues, or both. Going the surgical route is like discovering that your car is running rough because some diesel fuel got mixed in and deciding to pull the engine and modify it to run on diesel rather than simply flushing the diesel and putting the proper fuel in the tank.

“Richard is delusional. I feel sympathy for his wife and kids.”
______________________
Don’t feel too much sympathy, those twisted family members are more than likely, all in on his sickness.
Believe it or not, I worked in the same building and crossed paths w this very messed up, sick individual.
Couldn’t believe what I was seeing, as he walked through the halls.
Just disturbing!

We should put Admiral Levine in command of the USNS Harvey Milk and then sink it

‘evidence-based” is a code for “shut up and do what I say”
