Admiral Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender federal official confirmed by the U.S. Senate, says anger about a trans awareness day falling out Easter is 'manufactured.'
'I felt that it was faux outrage. It was manufactured,' Levine told The Advocate during an interview. 'It's just that this Sunday was Easter, which is a very important holiday and very important event, and it also just happened to be the 31st,' Levine explained.
Levine, who is the assistant secretary for health in the Biden administration, said there was never any intention to create a clash between the Christian holiday and the marking of Transgender Day of Visibility.
The overlap was simply because the calendar's collided, Levine said, while noting how it highlighted the polarization surrounding transgender issues.
'You know there's a quote from Yoda (not baby Yoda, that's new) - Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering,' Levine said using the movie quote.
Levine said she believes that continued education and visibility, while attempting to see that others understand the transgender experience, is a task vital for progress in society.
'I think that things will get better. And I think that things for transgender and nonbinary people will improve,' Leavine said with optimism.
She says she believes attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community are shifting much like how perception towards the gay community has also changed over the years with far greater visibility and acceptance.
Levine has been the subject of attacks, particularly from right-wing commentators such as Libs of TikTok's Chaya Raichik.

What could be more manufactured than a tranny?

I feel bad for his kids and former wife. If I were related to him, I’d pretend I don’t even know who he is.
That’s weird, they kept referring to the man as a woman.
No kidding.
He’s a liar.
Lol, much like do I
The problem is we allow these deviants to drag us down every rabbithole they present us with and we happily oblige.
All nothing more than distractions thrown at us from the ultimate enemy.
Keep the main thing the main thing and ignore all else.
And the main thing is JESUS!
Admiral ...ah haha ha.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural and healthy”.
Squeal like Pig, Rachel

Annulment of marriage, removal of this man from birth certificates, destruction of all photos and proof that it ever existed.
how perception towards the gay community has also changed over the years
No kidding - before, we knew moms distant cousins lived together for 70 years and “they were different” but no big deal. I have two neighbors that are gay, both 80 something but totally discreet and nice to be around. Not one person has ever mentioned they are gay. Now its in your face and you better like it or down goes your social score.
Yes it was.
It was manufactured by this administration deliberately to provoke a response. What's more, the response was justified.
