60 MINUTES: Rachel Levine answers Rand Paul's criticism in CBS interview
Trib Live ^ | June 21 | PAUL GUGGENHEIMER

Posted on 06/22/2021 3:41:21 AM PDT by RandFan

In one of her first on-camera interviews with a national news outlet since being confirmed as U.S. assistant secretary of health in late March, Rachel Levine discussed Sen. Rand Paul’s criticism of her during her confirmation hearing.

Speaking on “60 Minutes Plus” on CBS’s streaming service Paramount Plus, Levine discussed her support for gender-affirming care, which came up at her Senate confirmation hearing during questioning by Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, on Feb. 25.

Paul compared gender reassignment surgery with genital mutilation.

“Genital mutilation has been nearly universally condemned. Dr. Levine you have supported both allowing minors to be given hormone blockers to prevent them from going through puberty as well as surgical destruction of a minor’s genitalia,” Paul said during the hearing.

In the interview Levine told CBS’s Seth Doane that Paul was completely mistaken.

“Genital mutilation is a extremely damaging procedure done on young women. And gender-affirming care has a well-established literature, professional groups and is an evidence-based medical practice. And so the two do not equate in any way.”

It’s not Gender Mutilation, it is “Gender affirming care”. Gramsci would be proud.

Gramscian strategy of cultural subversion. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci’s transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.

Who in their right mind would take a man who thinks he’s a woman, dresses like a woman who thinks it’s a doctor and believes in science seriously.

So embarrassing.......how the world must laugh at us

Bruce Jenner’s alter ego is just as destructive given Fox News is clamoring to present him as ‘normal’ and interview him ad nauseam

The big lie starts with the fifth word in Paul Guggenheimer’s column
“In one of her first on-camera interviews”
Horse Hockey!
If Richard Levine has not had a dickectomy, he is still a HE.
If He has had a dickectomy, he is an IT.
That is a fact since there ain’t now way in hell a he/it is going to have a baby. Only women have babies, regardless of the crap the media is trying to feed us

How about Mr. Levine debates Rand Paul at a neutral site?

I'd pay to watch that.

Yup. I will not tolerate this nonsense. Richard Levine is a man, a he.

According to Doctor Rush Limbaugh, the correct name for the procedure is, "lopadickoffofme" and in the case of richard levine, the Medical Board found that he was too unstable for the surgery...so he did it to himself.

Ouch.

As a physician Rand Paul is particularly well qualified to take the likes of Fauxi and Dick Levine to task.

A man? A male, yes. But I would not call him a man. A pathetic crybaby? Yes. A deranged person seeking the approval of mankind? Yes. Wake up America!!

Richardless Levine, who is not a surgeon, cut off his own penis (yes, he did) so clearly standards for medical personnel mean nothing to him.

I completely agree. People such as Levine are doing a great disservice to anyone who wants to pretend to change their gender. What they need is treatment for their mental health issues.
