Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania's former top health official, earned confirmation Wednesday in the Senate to become the new assistant secretary at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The vote was 52-48. It marked the first time in U.S. history the Senate confirmed an openly transgender federal official.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called the confirmation vote another significant "milestone" after Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg became the first openly gay Cabinet member to be confirmed by the Senate in February.

Gender IDentity Disorder of Adolescence or Adulthood, Non-Transsexual Type (GIDAANT) (302.85)

The essential features of this disorder are a persistent or recurrent discomfort and sense of inappropriateness about one’s assigned sex, and persistent or recurrent cross-dressing in the role of the other sex, either in fantasy or in actuality, in a person who has reached puberty. This disorder differs from Transvestic Fetishism in that the cross-dressing is not for the purpose of sexual excitement; it differs from Transsexualism in that there is no persistent preoccupation (for at least two years) with getting rid of one’s primary and secondary sex characteristics and acquiring the sex characteristics of the other sex.

Some people with this disorder once had Transvestic Fetishism, but no longer experience sexual arousal with cross-dressing. Other people with this disorder are homosexuals who cross-dress. This disorder is common among female impersonators.

Cross-dressing phenomena range from occasional solitary wearing of female clothes to extensive feminine identification in males and masculine identification in females, and involvement in a transvestic subculture. More than one article of clothing of the other sex is involved, and the person may dress entirely as a member of the opposite sex. The degree to which the cross-dressed person appears as a member of the other sex varies, depending on mannerism, body habitus, and cross-dressing skill. When not cross-dressed, the person usually appears as an unremarkable member of his or her assigned sex.

Associated Features: Anxiety and depression are common, but are often attenuated when the person is cross-dressing.

Age of Onset and Course: Age at onset and course are variable. In most cases before puberty there was a history of some or all of the features of Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood. However by definition, GIDAANT is diagnosed only once puberty has been reached. The initial experience may involve partial or total cross-dressing; when it is partial, it often progresses to total. Cross-dressing, although intermittent in the beginning, often becomes more frequent, and may become habitual. A small number of people with GIDAANT, as the years pass, want to dress and live permanently as the other sex, and the disorder may evolve into Transsexualism.

Impairment: Unless there is another diagnosis in addition to GIDAANT, the impairment is generally restricted to conflicts with family members and other people regarding the cross-dressing.

Even the very thought of this thing requires an antidote. Anne Francis is a pretty good antidote IMHO.

openly transgender federal official

This is insufficient.

I demand that the Biden-Harris Administration stop the hatred and install ...

an openly transgender Black
an openly transgender Hispanic
an openly transgender Asian
and
an openly transgender Muslim

Then we can talk about maybe being woke enough. (Hint: you won't be woke enough)

So why did they vote to confirm? Make Harris earn her pay by coming to the Capitol Hill and cast the tiebreaker.
