Rachel Levine says pediatricians all agree on importance of 'gender-affirming care' for children
Fox News ^ | May 1, 2022 11:59am EDT | By Jon Brown

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.

Woody Allen once had a funny line in one his his films...can't recall which one.He said something like "being bisexual increases your chances of having a date on a Saturday night".

But then there's Dick Levine.I'll wager the clothes on my back that it's been a long,long,*long* time since he's had a date of *any* kind.

Poor fella...it's a wonder that he didn't hang himself *years* ago.

And yet people ask me, sometimes, why I believe we’re living in the last days.

What kind of world are we in where this sick freak is in any position of power or influence? Not long ago, this clown would’ve been committed to a looney bin, now he’s made an ‘admiral’. What a fallen country and society, just pathetic.
