HARRISBURG, Pa. — A man born as Richard who now identifies as Rachel, and who has officially led Pennsylvania’s Department of Health as secretary since 2018, is being broadcast on television screens across the commonwealth on a daily basis as he provides regular briefings on the status of COVID-19 in the Keystone state, exhorting residents on taking care of their physical and mental health.
“Your job right now is to stay calm, stay safe and please stay at home,” Levine said in a press conference on Monday, wearing a scarf, black dress with Mary Jane shoes, and nail polish.
“As our commonwealth moves forward through this, it is important to note that there are also mental health resources available,” he added. “If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, contact the Crisis Text Line …”
Levine is a pediatrician who founded the Division of Adolescent Medicine and Eating Disorders at Penn State Children’s Hospital on the campus of the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. A graduate of Harvard and Tulane University, he obtained fellowships in pediatrics and adolescent medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York before making the move to Pennsylvania to work at the Penn State College of Medicine.
“Levine … has long focused on the connection between mental and physical health,” NBC News reports.
“I have always been interested in patients with eating disorders because it really is this medical-behavioral health intersection,” he also told Lancaster Online, outlining that when he worked at Penn State he “would see patients and try to help teens and young adults and their families.”
In 2015, Levine became the physician general and was named acting secretary of health in July 2017. He was confirmed as secretary by the Pennsylvania Senate the following year without a single objection from Republicans or Democrats.
“One of the things I’m most proud of is that I was unanimously confirmed by the Senate,” Levine told NBC, stating that he met with most of the lawmakers personally. “[They] judged me strictly on my professional qualifications.”
Writing on the opioid crisis, medical marijuana, adolescent medicine, eating disorders and “LGBT medicine,” Levine is also a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine. He was named the grand marshal of the Philadelphia Pride Parade in 2015 and is on the board of the homosexual and transgender advocacy group Equality Pennsylvania.
BACKGROUND
According to the Washington Post, Levine, now 61, began seeing a therapist nearly 20 years ago after struggling with transgender feelings from his youth. He played football and hockey in an all-male private school and went on to marry and have children.
“Boy, did I have a midlife crisis,” he said of his 40s during a speech in which he emphasized support for youth who struggle with gender identity.
In 2007, at the age of 48, Levine decided to grow his hair long. In 2011, he officially began identifying as a woman and changed his name to Rachel.
In 2016, while serving as physician general for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Levine told CBS 21 that it is possible that gender incongruity begins in the womb — although acknowledging that data was inconclusive.
“Because of hormonal effects in utero, the brain has a gender identity which is different from the sex the child was born as,” he said. “If you look at the brain scans of a transgender woman, such as myself, then those scans, even before medical treatment, before hormones, [they] tend to look female.”
“It hasn’t been 100 percent proven,” Levine added, “and science continuously is advancing, and we need to learn more, but that is the current theory of why individuals might be transgender.”
HOPE
As previously reported, Christians believe that transgenderism isn’t just a medical or mental condition but primarily a spiritual issue — one that stems from the same predicament all men everywhere face without Christ.
In Matthew 19:4, Jesus noted that “He which made them at the beginning made them male and female.”
The Bible teaches that all are born with the Adamic sin nature, having various inherent feelings and inclinations that are contrary to the law of God, and being utterly incapable of changing by themselves.
It is why Jesus came: to “save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
Scripture outlines that Jesus came to be the propitiation for men’s sins (1 John 2:2; 1 John 4:10), a doctrine in Christianity known as substitutionary atonement, and to save men from the wrath of God for their violations against His law (Romans 4:25, Romans 5:9, Romans 5:16), a doctrine known as justification.
The Bible also teaches about regeneration, as in addition to sparing guilty men from eternal punishment, Christ sent his Holy Spirit to make those who would repent and believe the gospel new creatures in the here and now, with new desires and an ability to do what is pleasing in the sight of God by His indwelling and empowerment (Ezekiel 11:19, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Titus 3:5).
1 Corinthians 15:45 states, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul. The last Adam (Jesus) became a life-giving spirit.”

This insanity and evil will continue until voters decide in large enough numbers not to vote in governors who appoint such people.
The person charged with looking out for the health and well-being of Pennsylvanians has as his most defining accomplishment, an act of self-mutilation.
Richard “Rachel” Levine, the exquisitely appropriate face of Covid-19 American. We are now a sick twisted mating of Communist China and Sodom/Gamorrah.
That is one ugly fake (trans) woman.
The mentally ill should never be put in charge of anything.
This used to be a sane country.
No, really.
I thank you for not posting a picture of this sick fag-freak.
Please do not construe this as one iota of support for Tommie the Commie Wolf...
...BUT...
he and other executives (think NY) imagined that since public health was pretty much a bygone and therefore a plum to be awarded politically; chose creatures solely on the basis of their melanin and vaginas (from birth or surgically created) to fill what they imagined would be a “do nothing” post.
WRONG.
Ignore the freak.
We should let everyone know that he is Rachel from Card Services behind all of those robocalls. That should get rid of him.
Of course!
The only known (and personally verified) eyewash antidote for a picture of this biaca Pizza the Hutt is a larger picture of our lovely FLOTUS.
God have mercy on us.
Laughing so hard I can’t post.
I think he just snapped and his midlife crisis this makes no sense the guy has so many degrees from good universities in serious subjects and now blond hair and Mary Jane shoes can’t we just assumed that he snapped and had some kind of a crazy midlife crisis and write it off as that instead of making a big deal out of it like it’s real.
Come on embryonic hormones he’s citing as the reason for transgenderism that comes out at age 48 pretty nuts
Ooops.
“Your job right now is to stay calm, stay safe and please stay at home,” Levine said in a press conference on Monday, wearing a scarf, black dress with Mary Jane shoes, and nail polish.“
No.
Our job is to point at you, laugh our asses off, and go back to work.

also mental health resources available,” he added. “If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, contact the Crisis Text Line …”
I do believe in live and let live BUT to actually be expected to take this THING seriously is over the top.
Have to give he/she/it 'credit' though...EITHER have to be downright loco or brave as hell to show your mug dressed like that
