Jenna Ellis, an advisor for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, referred to Pennsylvania health secretary Dr. Rachel Levine as “this guy” in a Tweet on Monday.
The Tweet states “This guy is making decisions about your health” while linking to a PennLive story about a news briefing in May where a Pittsburgh radio host repeatedly referred to Levine as “sir.” Levine objected to being misgendered, and the host later apologized, saying he was distracted.
The Tweet by Ellis prompted a response from the Washington, D.C.-based Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ rights organization.
“Jenna Ellis is a bigot and Dr. Levine is a patriot - plain and simple. Dr. Levine illustrates character and patriotism while Ellis cannot even define those terms,” the commission said.
The campaign further said, “Despite claims of allyship, Donald Trump, Mike Pence and their staff have gone out of their way to dehumanize and attack transgender and non-binary people simply for existing. Trump and his allies have refused to acknowledge the epidemic of violence transgender and gender non-conforming people face, attempted to strip away their access to health care, and blocked these patriotic Americans from openly serving in the military.”
Levine recently addressed various transphobic remarks and acts toward her which had been made in public. A member of her staff also said hateful remarks have been made to her privately, including some by people who have come to her home, which is now patrolled by state police.
“Our children are watching. They are watching what we do. And they are watching how we act, and to all LGBTQ young people, it is okay to be you, and it is okay to stand up for your rights, and your freedoms,” Levine said. “My heart is full with a burning desire to help people, and my time is full with working towards protecting the public health of everyone in Pennsylvania from the impact of the global pandemic due to COVID-19, and I will stay laser focused on that goal.”
According to her Twitter bio, Ellis is a constitutional law attorney and a senior legal adviser to Trump’s campaign. She says in a pinned Tweet, “If they try to cancel Christianity, if they try to force me to apologize or recant my Faith, I will not bend, I will not waver, I will not break.”
The Human Rights Campaign said, “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Levine has steered Pennsylvania through this crisis leading efforts to reduce the spread of the virus and keep Pennsylvanians safe and healthy. Our nation has and should continue to laud the frontline workers and public servants confronting this pandemic, not attack them simply for living their truth.”
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Boo hoo somebody said something.
About that F’d up lying degenerate.
Booooo Hooooo Girrrrlllll
Guy in the North can mean either sex
We have to listen to left wing scumbags deride someone just because they used the wrong term a few times all of a sudden they are horrible evil people but the creep placed in office in Pennsylvania to cause exactly this kind of trouble is being lauded as a hero and a Patriot. What a joke.
“They want to coerce everyone to indulge the delusions of a few.”
Yep. It is a demonstration of power to force everyone to state that up is down and down is up. Nothing more nothing less.
The Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission....State agency which investigates discrimination allegations.
Rights = Relations
Why are people criticizing someone who is as confused about him/her as he/she is confused about his/her own gender?
Levine is a mental case, and so is everyone who supports HIM.
>>> Levine objected to being misgendered <<<
Nobody is “misgendered”. There are mentally ill perverts and normal people.
WTF is WRONG with these tranny and sex-changed people that has them getting their pantaletas in a wad over every little thing? They are living in Lala land...
I use “guy(s)” as a gender-neutral term-so do a lot of other people I know-I say you guys, that guy, etc at work to males- I’ve said it to women, and especially in mixed company-no different than saying you folks, etc-these people need someone to write them a reality check...
Exactly. He’s the guy who took his mom out of a nursing home right before sending Covid-19 patients in. But he wears a dress so no criticism is allowed.
Not the people “it “ sent to thier deaths in the nursing homes after “it” pulled out “its” mother
Yes and when it comes down to it “it” is a dude.....
Who here can post a picture of the billboard in Pennsylvania that says I didn’t vote for her? It’s a classic.
Levine is out there trolling for any small statement that can be blown up as “misgendering” and then squeals bloody murder like a stuck pig.
The incident with the radio interviewer was ridiculous. It’s voice DOES sound male. The interview was done over the phone where Levine could not be seen. The host was backtiming himself to the next commercial and thinking of his next question. Yet Levine put on a full-court press to try and get the guy fired.
The only person who misgendered Dr. Levine was Dr. Levine.
“Transphobic.” Right.
