Rutgers University is awarding an honorary degree to the nation’s first openly transgender federal official confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Admiral Rachel L. Levine has led the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps since 2021 and is the assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine will receive an honorary doctor of science degree Sunday during the Rutgers-New Brunswick and Rutgers Health commencement at SHI Stadium, the university said Monday.

Levine served as Pennsylvania’s physician general and as state Secretary of the Department of Health, before being nominated by President Biden to her current role.

Rutgers previously announced that three others would receive honorary degrees at the university’s 258th commencement, which will start at 10 a.m.

The commencement speaker, Freeman A. Hrabowski III, is a longtime civil rights advocate and former president of the University of Maryland in Baltimore County. Hrabowski III will be awarded an honorary doctor of letters degree at the commencement.

Rutgers alumnus Jelani Cobb, dean of the Columbia Journalism School, is receiving an honorary doctor of letters degree. Rutgers Board of Governors Chair William Best, senior vice president and northeast market manager at PNC, is receiving an honorary doctor of laws degree, the university said.

A graduate of Harvard College and Tulane University School of Medicine, Levine as a physician focused on the intersection between mental and physical health, treating children, adolescents and young adults, according to an overview provided by Rutgers.

Levine is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine and the Academy for Eating Disorders.

Isn’t it about time for him to retire and ‘spend more time with his family?’ This time, interview the ‘normal’ applicants, if any would dare apply to work for Biden.

Changing genders is impossible. It simply cannot be done. Every molecule in a person’s body would have to be changed. It’s all pretend nonsense. A mental illness, yes. A possibility, no.

After seeing the methods used to attack Amish farmers and professionals in the state of PA then it is correct to say that the state is as corrupt as the worst of them. They break every law and legal procedure to get what they want, and they are relentless about it. Any official that comes from there can be counted on to be the worst of the worst.

This frumpy transvestite somehow, without ever being elected to a single political office, managed to exploit a public health crises to imprison thousands of elderly people against their will with no charges, sentencing many of them to death without so much as a trial, outlawed haircuts, destroyed businesses and livelihoods throughout Pennsylvania, and legalized drinking and driving.

Somehow, he then got promoted to admiral where he’s now trying to sterilize children throughout the country against their parents’ wishes.

If this isn’t demon worship, I don’t know what is.

That SBR would function better for fishing than that pervert would function for doing anything specific to womanhood.

I’d say that Dr Renée Richards was more of a pioneer. Before that, there was Christine Jorgensen who was the true “pioneer “ if there is such a thing for this.

And to think that what Dickie did to himself rendered him “unshagable” by both men *and* women!

While a young kid Richie could then see
his dickie would cause him great frenzy
so he took a huge axe
gave his penis some whacks
and became a grim bigwig in Pennsy..

When Richie prepared to “transition”
He could find no willing Physician
So at E.R. lav
D.I.Y. to have
He proceeded to make his incision.

The Trannie was constantly tasking
Keystoners to engage in masking
“Wear one in your house
Unless with your spouse!”
The Biden post was his for asking.

Yeah, give an award to a mentally ill pervert. Rutgers is not an educational institution.
