Rachel Levine stood tall in the doorway, offered a polite handshake, and took a seat at the L-shaped desk in her drab, blank slate of an office.
[Snip]
Levine, who has just been named Pennsylvania's physician general, spent most of her 57 years - at least outwardly - as a man. If the state Senate confirms her appointment, the doctor, who until a few years ago was known as Richard Levine, will become one of the nation's very few, openly transgender people in public office.

She was dressed conservatively in a tailored gray jacket and matching skirt, accented by rings, bracelets, and an amber necklace.
Before accepting the job, she said, she had to carefully consider how she would balance her public exposure with her wish for privacy. She is willing to discuss her transsexuality in the interest of shedding light on a much-misunderstood community. But she is fiercely protective of her family and friends and puts strict limits on the questions she is willing to answer.

More likely fiercely wanting to avoid talking about how horrified his family is about the whole thing.
FREAK and it shows how mental illness has infested this country since they said homosexuality was not a mental sickness. Now we have people supporting this freak.
Your use of the word [snip] in the summary post — that was sarcasm, right? /sarc
Not sure why any conservative stays up in the north east anymore.
The place is full of freaks, weirdo’s, nutjobs, communists, and the mentally ill
And here's how this voluntarily mutilated synthetic woman was described objectively in this media outlet:
polite
"her expertise"
a leading voice
fiercely protective of family and friends
intellectually gifted
incredibly bright and hard-working
great, funny and motivated
distinguished
freshly polished fingernails
active
velvet-glovish
Gosh, is there anything this wonder woman can't be?
Degenerate, freak-show America continues apace.
And some people wonder why my interest in the preservation of this republic dwindles more and more each day.
That was a Seinfeld reference. A fairly famous one.
What a show!
Yep, I know that.
Where is Laz when you need him?
Good god. The men who become a ‘woman’ never look good. They still have a masculine face.
First, the LIBS of Philly & the Burgh gave us Tom Wolf as Governor; and Wolf is giving us THIS Dr. Levine AS ONE OF HIS FIRST MOVES. What more is he going to do to the Comminwealth if THIS is the opening salvo?
Maybe Mr. R will let me change my handle ..it’s getting EMBARASSING to be “Pennsylvania” mom.
Shakes head.
Checkout the website: Keystone Report, It is organized like the Drudge Report but for PA. I also posted a couple of articles on this on FR. I requested a ping request from P.O.E. (that's his user name). He maintains a ping list on FR for PA members and is usually pretty good about to responding to requests and pinging folks on his list when he post articles. If you are not on his list, send a message to him requesting to be on his list.
I'd really like to see more of a PA community on FR. By community, I mean a little behind the scenes communicating. It happens around elections, but otherwise it is pretty dead for local stuff.
Picture’s not big enough for me to tell. He sure is ugly, though.
Are those his hands? Yes, they look like man hands.
“...spent most of her 57 years - at least outwardly - as a man.”
What the frig is that statement?
It’s from a Seinfeld episode. His date had “man hands”.
