Today, on behalf of the Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs, Executive Director Rafael Álvarez Febo issued the following statement:
“Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, Pennsylvanians have tremendously benefited from the steadfast leadership of Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine.
“Dr. Levine has provided critical information to keep us safe from this dangerous virus, while also making important decisions managing the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Dr. Levine is a respected physician with decades of experience in healthcare. The leadership of Dr. Levine and her staff has helped save countless lives during this unprecedented time. In addition to a wealth of knowledge and experience, Dr. Levine has also proven to be a calming presence on our screens with her daily press conferences.
“This leadership has been met with some of the most vile and toxic transphobia our Commission has seen in our commonwealth in recent years. Week after week, members of the LGBTQ community and thousands of Pennsylvanians have tuned in to be informed by our Health Secretary only to be assaulted by streams of comments and slurs aimed directly at Dr. Levine and indirectly at all transgender Pennsylvanians. Whether a member of the media is misgendering her or social media comments are lobbed her way, we admire how Dr. Levine has shown poise and the highest degree of professionalism.
“In times of crisis and pain, LGBTQ individuals are united in pushing back against transphobia of any kind. Members of the commission believe that the health and safety of Pennsylvanians should not be undermined due to these toxic and personal attacks.
“We will continue to support the leadership of Dr. Rachel Levine and the Pennsylvania Department of Health to help get us through these uncertain times.”
The Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs was formed in 2018 through an Executive Order from Governor Tom Wolf. The commission is comprised of 40 commissioners representing all areas of the commonwealth and LGBTQ communities. The mission of the Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs is to advise the governor and state agencies regarding policies, programs, and legislation that impact LGBTQ communities and to serve as a resourceful intermediary between LGBTQ communities and state government.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Clarification on who Dr. Rachel Levine actually is.
Transphobia would indicate that one is afraid of transsexuals/transvestites. That is laughable. Like I am going to be afraid of dickless wonders?
It’s not transphobia - he’s a mentally ill idiot who thinks taking hormones for the rest of his life and mutilating surgery makes him a woman.
Of course if civilization collapses we’ll see how long God let’s him maintain that illusion.
Rachel was born RICHARD!! These Democrats are truly NUTS!
Democrats, the party of the mentally ill.
Doctor levine is a nutcase. Doctor cure thyself! It is sad that the mentally ill are praised in the current society rather than getting the intensive mental health treatment they cry-out for.
I’m not afraid of freaks who get their dicks cut off and want to pretend they’re women. I just think they should be in a mental institution, not in charge of our state’s dept. of health.
The Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs Defends their mentally ill Health Secretary Dr. Richard Levine, who now thinks he’s a woman and has taken on a woman’s name, and dresses in women’s clothing, thinking that that makes him a woman
Fixed
If not so utterly vile, it'd be utterly hilarious.
In no way do I assume my values are the values of all Pennsylvanians, but I can not imagine those citizens/voters will endorse this.
Look this nutjob up. He teaches psychiatry at a PA college!!
Pay no attention to the fact he mudered oldfolks in nursing homes with covid while moving his mother out.....
Deny..distract..blame shift.
“Rachel” looks like “she” has male pattern baldness, and an adam’s apple.
I need a barf bag!
The left is in a state of sheer desperation and they are now like giant babies rioting to try to get the attention of mommy and daddy
Our highly mature and sophisticated and wonderful president Donald J Trump who loves America as much as the sun comes up in the morning has been doing his dead level best for all Americans to create economic opportunity and to make the world a better place and to take on the evil actors out in the world like China and Iran
Through his steadfastness and maturity he is expose the left for what it is petulant and caring only about its little pet issues such as gay Ness trans Ness and whatever other nonsense
So what we need to hope for is that America is the great country we all know it to be and that there’s a strategic change that’s going to happen and it’s no longer going to be embarrassing to be a republican
Levine pulled Its mother out of a nursing home the same week It forced nursing homes to accept Covid-19 Patient. Pennsylvanians should demand this It be charged with dereliction of duty. Its mother must be proud of the It she raised.
