The U.S. Senate voted 52 to 48 Wednesday to confirm Pennsylvania Health Secretary Richard “Rachel” Levine, a man “identifying” as a woman, to be assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the Biden administration.
Every Democrat voted in favor of Levine, joined by liberal, pro-abortion Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine.
Conservative critics have argued that, as a so-called “trans woman” who endorses and promotes the notion that individuals can change their “gender identity” at will, Levine lacks the medical credibility and objectivity to be entrusted with hot-button transgender issues. He has been a longtime, outspoken proponent of “gender affirmation” and “sex reassignment” treatment for minors. In a 2017 lecture, he endorsed puberty-blockers to gender-confused children throughout puberty, followed by “sex change” surgery at 18. While transgender surgery “usually” is performed only on adults, Levine said “there are exceptions.”
Last month, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed Levine for his refusal “to say, absolutely, minors shouldn't be making decisions to amputate their breasts or to amputate their genitalia.”
“Many will no doubt characterize the Senate’s confirmation of Rachel Levine today as an historic occasion. And they aren’t necessarily wrong,” commented Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project. “For perhaps the first time ever, the position of Assistant Secretary for Health will be filled by someone who has openly and vocally advocated for allowing children to undergo sex change procedures. This is indeed an unprecedented moment.”
“But while President Biden and Democrats may have fooled voters last fall into believing such an extreme position wasn’t a part of their agenda, they will not be able to do so next time around,” continued Schilling. “Every Democrat in the Senate is now on record as supporting childhood sex changes, and they will have to answer for it to their voters. Make no mistake: this overreach by left-wing Democrats will have political consequences in 2022 and beyond.”
Apart from Levine’s personal gender confusion, critics note that Levine ran Pennsylvania’s draconian COVID-19 response, pushing nursing homes to readmit Wuhan coronavirus patients and ordering two-year-olds to wear masks in public. His nursing home stance was particularly controversial in light of the revelation that he moved his 95-year-old mother out of a nursing home at the same time. He claimed it was done at his mother’s request, but critics say it showed that Levine knew the risks of his policy guidance.
“In Pennsylvania, the pandemic struck seniors in nursing homes disproportionately hard compared to other states. This was due in part to poor decisions and oversight by Dr. Levine and the Wolf administration,” Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) said Wednesday, announcing his opposition to Levine’s confirmation. “Moreover, the commonwealth’s extended economic lockdown that Dr. Levine advocated for was excessive, arbitrary in nature, and has led to a slower recovery.”
Nevertheless, Levine is perfectly in line with the values and positions of the Biden administration. Among President Joe Biden’s first actions upon taking office was signing an executive order declaring a policy to “prevent and combat discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, and to fully enforce Title VII and other laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation,” citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s claim in Bostock that federal law’s prohibition on discrimination “because of … sex” extends to “discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation.”
The chastisement we are receiving now may well be part of that judgment.
A hell of a lot more explicit stuff goes on at the annual Gay Pride parades.
And yes, that is an actual New York City policeman, while on duty.
Actual fact: DIY dickectomy in the ER bathroom after he was denied transgendering surgery because of him being mentally unstable.
He showed ‘em, didn’t he!
Lol!
I'd rather live among apes than these various sick in the head Liberal freaks!
I wonder if any Republican senators even questioned Levine about removing their ( Has using the plural pronoun incorrectly been to prepare us for all of this gender confusion?) own mother from a nursing home while insisting that nursing homes take back Covid positive patients from the hospital. Even if they did, they probably just accepted its answer instead of asking again and again as the Dems would have done.
So...let's remove biology related courses from medical schools and also remove the requirement that surgeons be licensed.
Yes, they vote with Republicans on trivial matters. Otherwise they cross ovrt
The question is....is it qualified? No bias?
The honest and unambiguous word you want is "eunuch".
I think this qualifies as the insane running the asylum.
Just the facts...
So much we do not know...The person is very mannish appearing and that long fake and phony blond hair needs to be tossed out. and he needs to see a hairdresser and get fitted with better wigs...
Is his Mother still living? and has she returned to a nursing home? I believe he put her in a Hotel during the early days of the China Virus, COVID-19...HE IS REALLY SORTA CREEPY..
Psychotics approving a psychotic.
Who could have guessed?
PA court record show that Dr. Richard is in arrears on child support payments.
On top of everything else, he’s a deadbeat dad.
That disqualifies XXX from participating in civilized society, whatever XXX pronoun might be. Let XXX go live the Australian outback with XXX mother, or wherever, and be whatever gender XXX wants to be. But XXX should otherwise be in jail. Exempting XXX mother from the same vicious end that XXX visited on everybody else’s mother, however, makes XXX unfit for any other society other than that of XXX mother, including that of hardened criminals. Being unfit to head the HHS is a bonus.
