Dr. Rachel Levine is an American pediatrician who served as Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health from 2017 to 2021 and is now nominated to serve as President Biden's assistant HHS secretary.
(CNSNews.com) - Unafraid to address the transgender issue staring lawmakers in the face, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday asked Dr. Rachel Levine (nee Richard) if she believes "minors are capable of making such a life-changing decision as changing one's sex."
Levine, President Biden's nominee for assistant secretary of health, now lives as a woman.
Twice, Levine gave Sen. Paul the same rehearsed, non-answer to his question:
Well, Senator, thank you for your interest in this question. Transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field. We have robust research and standards of care that have been developed, and if I am fortunate enough to be confirmed as the assistant secretary of health, I will look forward to working with you and your office and coming to your office and discussing the particulars of the standards of care for transgender medicine.
Paul followed up: "The specific question was about minors. Let's be a little more specific, since you evaded the question.
"Do you support the government intervening to override the parent's consent to give a child puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and/or amputation surgery of breasts and genitalia? You have said that you're willing to accelerate the protocols for street kids.
"I'm alarmed that poor kids with no parents who are homeless and distraught -- you would just go through this and allow this to happen to a minor."
Paul mentioned the case of gender-confused girl, now 23, who ended up transitioning to the opposite sex and lived to regret it.
"What I am alarmed at is that you're not willing to say, absolutely, minors shouldn’t be making decisions to amputate their breast or to amputate their genitalia...Will you make a more firm decision on whether or not minors should be involved in these decisions?” Paul asked Levine, a former practicing pediatrician.
“Senator, transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field,” Levine repeated, giving almost the exact same answer he gave before.
“Let it go into the record that the witness refused to answer the questions,” Paul said.
Paul noted that for most of the history of medicine, minors couldn't even get a cut sewn up in the emergency room without parental permission. "But you're willing to let a minor take things that prevent their puberty. Do you think they get that back?” Paul asked.
Paul also noted that the drugs being used in gender transition are being used off-label. “I find it ironic that the left that went nuts over hydroxychloroquine being used possibly for COVID are not alarmed that these hormones are being used off label.
“There's no long-term studies. We don't know what happens to them. We do know that there are dozens and dozens of people who have been through this who regret that this happened, that a permanent change happened to them.”
Levine currently serves as Pennsylvania's top health official.
Trannies be wack.
I’ve seen gay guys laugh at them several times.
This creature is a disgrace to humankind.
RE: This creature is a disgrace to humankind.
With so many possible qualified candidates for the HHS position, does it not make you wonder why Biden had to choose this one?
That freak is a doctor? Oh boy.
A Baby Doctor, nonetheless!
“Dr. Rachel Levine is a....”
Total Joke.
You just can’t make this stuff up.
seems like libertarians would be fine with 12 year olds deciding to cut their moneymakers off.
She / It also pulled a Cuomo and killed thousands in nursing homes. How come no republican is asking questions on this?
If this bizarre creature is sanctioned by the United States Senate to make heath care policy for the American people then neo pagan decadence has permeated America to a degree that is beyond salvage.
There are videos of he/she saying exactly that. To block chemically the terror of forcing a minor to go through the “wrong” puberty.
Especially alarming to boys wanting to be girls, when they start growing those “tentacles”... yes she says tentacles.
I didn’t know before that you men have tentacles. Just wow.
(If anyone wants to see that video I can find it and post it here. It is short.
A Pediatrician... who is a transgender... ugly man now ugly “female in external genitalia only” (genetics are still— MALE genetics.. so he is a MALE masquerading as a “female” with outward hormonal and structural assumed changes). Transgenders are, from all clinical study over past decades- mentally ill individuals trying to change their appearance as a form of “self-cure” that the clinical studies have proven cannot, in uncontrolled clinical settings, produce.
So— WHY would a pediatrician be an advocated for child hood age life changing decisions that are to the PROVEN detriment to a later adult’s life? Why— well one can infer that the said pediatrician is himself a mentally confused/psychiatric unstable individual. Such an individual has been studied for YEARS, decades at the premier location for gender/sex change intervention. They used to require a year or more of psychological and psychiatric evaluation to clinically justify a clinical operation to change an individual— in order to rule out the potential for a complete breakdown in the individual- if they have decided this in order to
“try to correct” what they THINK is wrong with them. When it is not at all a clinical solution.
The failure rate on sex change post procedure is extremely high— and involves an abnormally large percentage of suicides from the now no longer evaluated patients.

"Confirm me so that I can tell you how perverted I am."
You don't need to tell us; we can see it for ourselves.
Things used to be so simple in America . . . something was either right or wrong . . . now it depends on the nuances.
Even so, come Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:20 (I like that the last two verses of the Bible just happen to be 2021!)
He’s a pediatrician? Oh good Lord. This man is a lunatic. I refuse to say he is female. He’s not. He IS a mentally ill male.
If Levine (pardon me for not addressing him as Dr.) were to undergo a DNA test, it would come back as XY or male.
Look at what he’s gone through: feminine glasses, female clothing, female makeup, hormones to suppress his maleness (beard, musculature, etc.), possible surgical changes (although he won’t talk about that), etc. All failed efforts to change something that cannot be changed, his male DNA.
He was born a male with XY DNA and he will die a male. Kinda makes you wonder if it’s worth it.
Here is a video of this freak of nature describing how to do this horrid procedure to children. 55 seconds.
