We, The Babylon Bee, have decided to issue an apology. After being caught in a culture-war whirlwind of hatred and bigotry, we published an article naming Rachel Levine our "Man of the Year." Sometimes, even satirists make mistakes.
Our misgendering headline was hateful, insensitive, and cruel. Rachel Levine is 100% a real, actual woman. We were absolutely wrong to say otherwise. We understand now that our attempt at comedy was really "punching down" at a wealthy and powerful government trans woman official, and we have no excuse. We went too far.
We apologize to the trans community. We apologize to the women community, of whom Rachel Levine is clearly a part—and has been since her birth. We hope to take this opportunity to learn, grow, and be better as satirists—and as human beings.
So we invite our readers to say it with us, loudly and proudly, and with all the strength and goodness of 1000 kindergarten teachers in Florida trying to teach 5-year-olds about sex:
Rachel Levine is a powerful, beautiful woman.
Whatever that is.

“Rachel Levine is a powerful, beautiful woman.”
Personally, I have seen better heads on beer.
The Bee has done it again.;-)
Mademoiselle Rachel should enroll to compete
to become Miss Massachusetts 2022;
and point out that he/she/it represents
the best, the very best, that all Massachusetts
women have to offer this country.
And until you can, he is a he, forevermore.
The BEE is GREAT READING!!
This one was a masterpiece. I didn’t see the punchline coming, though I probably should have.
Same here. Good punchline, a two-fer!
Rachel Levine is a powerful example of just how ugly the Left is and its ultimate goal: believe in The Party before the evidence of your own senses .
Published on April Fool’s Day.
In much the same way that biden and harris are the best, the very best, and the brightest, the very brightest, that the democrat party has to offer this country.
You’re harshing my mellow, man
.
Definitely a High Holiday for the satirists extraordinaire at The Bee and they certainly celebrated in fine fashion with this piece. Love how they set up the permanently irritated culture warriors who demanded their heads after the first column and then punctured those over-inflated egos, yet again. Bravo!!!
And the beauty of this plan is that the more obvious it is that you’re not really even trying to be “a woman”, the better. Force them to explain why the hairy, razor-stubbled construction worker standing before them is not an actual woman. As demonstrated recently by what’s her name’s absolute paralysis when asked this question during her confirmation hearing, they simply can’t go there or their entire woke house of cards immediately collapses. They have no objective standard for determining who is granted membership in their latest victim group, and that is their Achilles’ heel.
There’s no downside to this, because whether you execute the plan at work or school, or elsewhere, they can’t punish you for what they surely will realize is a ruse, because to do so they MUST define what a woman is. And in the meantime you might actually get to take advantage of some diversity set-asides and other coveted benefits.
Then, if your newly-found “self” has caused you to feel emboldened, you can up the ante by trying Level 2: Claim to not only identify as a woman, but rather a black woman, and claim the additional PC privileges afforded to them. This one will cause instant meltdown (which would be enormously entertaining), but again, if they won’t go within 100 miles of defining what a woman is, they won’t go within a million miles of trying to define what it means to be “black.” Yet, there’s actually far less objective, scientific (SCIENCE!!!) basis for determining race than there is for gender.
Humorous as the mental picture of all this is, I’m dead serious. If enough people tried to climb onto their crazy train it would immediately and permanently derail. They only get away with their insanity for the moment because there are no real consequences for all those who virtue signal toward what is actually a tiny group. Were there instead millions trying to extract worship and privilege from companies and other organizations, especially when they knew most seeking it were really deplorable Trump-loving MAGA supporters, they would be forced to give it up and move on. Of course, they could always deny us our “womanhood” by simply defining what a woman is, but we all know that can never happen, so they’re stuck. It’s like they blindly herded themselves onto the beach at Dunkirk. Now it’s time to strafe the heck out of them.
Stuff it in your barracks bag.
Some FReepers have married Massachusetts women and are happy with their choice...54 years for me.
You paint with a broad brush.
I’d insert a tongue-in-cheek emoji here, but I cannot find it on my laptop. :)
“Personally, I have seen better heads on beer.”
The last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it!”
Should have named her Feminine Male of the Year.
Conceived a male always a male whether masculine or feminine in presentation.
The BEE is GENIUS!

Don't be so sensitive, the poster is merely pointing out the rachael was born in the USSR of MA, comrade.
Sure, there are some good women that come from MA but you cannot deny what has happened to that place.
My grandson graduated from Boston College and I have some very good friends that still live in MA, but it has turned into a communist shithole.
And there is no denying that richard is one beautiful woman, whatever that is {not being a biologist}.
