Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine, the highest-ranking transgender person in the U.S. government, claimed during a recent interview with NPR that "there is no argument" about "gender-affirming care" among pediatricians and doctors who specialize in adolescents.
According to definitions laid out in a fact sheet from Levine's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in March, "gender-affirming care" includes social affirmation at any age, puberty blockers during puberty and hormone therapy starting during early adolescence. Irreversible surgery is "typically used in adulthood or case-by-case basis in adolescence," according to the agency.
In response to the HHS fact sheet, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo released a different fact sheet refuting the claims of the HHS regarding the treatment of minors with gender dysphoria.
Citing a "lack of conclusive evidence, and the potential for long-term, irreversible effects," the Florida Department of Health advised against social transition, puberty blockers, hormones and surgery as treatment options for children and adolescents.
Levine dismissed the Florida guidance as "based upon political considerations" and "not appropriate."
"We need to stand against that both from a medical and public health point of view," Levine said.

They “all agree”? Really? Even the ones that are Muslim, Mormons or Orthodox Jews? ALL agree? This kind of statement is so ignorant you can’t even respond to it. He’s lucky he lives in a bubble where no one is held accountable for their stupidity. (And yes, I meant to say “he”.)
Well yeah, I saw that on Dr. Oz 10 years ago.

And on Oprah years before that.
Probably not sliced off...it was probably very,very tiny from the start.
Go pound twisted freak!!!
Gender-affirming should take one second - study the equipment, and affirm it. Any other form of “affirmation” is a deliberate misuse of the language.
There are biological Males.
There are biological Females.
Anything else is a demented nut case.
They don’t do this in China or Russia. I don’t have a problem with them. Our problems are here.
“ Does Dick Levine still have his namesake organ or did he have it sliced off ?”
I read that he whacked it off himself. He’s a self mutilating sicko!
That’s a man dressed as a woman.
For some reason I don’t take an ugly man in a dress seriously.
All plastic surgeons agree that an ugly man makes a fugly woman.
as I heard it, he did self-surgery because his MD wanted to prescribe psychiatric care first before neutering.
Well, he also thinks he’s a woman, so…
Are you referring to Oprah’s friend from NJ with allegiance to Turkey and Islam?
His wife’s family’s company paid $95 million in fines for knowingly hiring thousands of illegal aliens. Guess which state?…
It’s not the world. It’s the 13% that comprises the US/EU/Australia/Japan. The rest of the world hasn’t embraced insanity.
If these people get what they want ... perhaps someday there will be a lawsuit against a doctor and/or hospital for false treatment based on a person’s identity and not true gender.
Dick has been to Dr. Kutcherpeckerov and no longer has male genetalia. Every chromosome in his body remains XY, however, which means that no one can change sex, and "transgenderism" is a monstrous lie.

This Administration is looking more like the Rocky Horror Show, that anything.
