[ Make no mistake, Joe Biden and his cohorts are messengers of Satanic evil of the worst kind. ]
Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine has been called “reprehensible” for proudly announcing that “gender-affirming” treatment of transgender kids is supported “at the highest levels” of President Biden’s administration.
Levine, the highest-ranking transgender official in US history, made the claim at a talk in Connecticut last month when asked about criticism of health centers treating children with the likes of puberty blockers and hormones.
She maintained the attacks are “ideologically and politically motivated,” calling them “unconscionable.”
“I can say that the children, their families and you all as their providers have support at the highest levels of the federal government,” Levine told the Pediatric Grand Rounds session in Hartford.
“President Biden supports you … Vice President [Kamala] Harris supports you. Across the administration, the departments support you,” she said, adding that she talks “about this topic everywhere I go.”

Levine, 65, firmly supported the procedures despite previously admitting she was glad she’d never considered transition until she was “about 40” — and then taking at least 10 years to complete it.
“Young people are not willing to do that anymore,” she complained in an interview that went viral in 2019, blaming a cultural shift.
“I have no regrets because if I had transitioned when I was young then I wouldn’t have my children. I can’t imagine a life without my children,” she said of Dayna and David, both now adults.
Still, she now claims that treatments like hormone and puberty blockers are “medically necessary, safe and effective” and crucial for trans youth suffering depression and “attempting suicide at an alarming rate.”
“It is the bullying, harassment, discrimination of transgender youth that leads to these conditions,” whereas those who get support “actually have excellent mental health outcomes,” she maintained.
“Gender-affirming care is medical care. Gender-affirming care is mental health care. And literally, gender-affirming care is suicide prevention care,” Levine said, vowing to “try everything we can legally” to block states from implementing laws blocking treatments.

“But I am positive and optimistic and hopeful that the wheel will turn” and “this issue won’t be as politically and socially such a minefield,” she said.
However, her newly unearthed comments faced fierce pushback.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), a physician and member of the House Doctors Caucus, told Fox News that it is “reprehensible for a government official — let alone the assistant US secretary of HHS — to promote the genital mutilation of minors as becoming a standard practice.”

“Many pediatricians … have expressed serious concerns about the use of puberty blockers, hormone blockers, and sex transition surgeries in minors.
“These doctors know that these medications and procedures can impact children’s bone growth, fertility, and risk of breast and prostate cancer.
“Meanwhile, HHS has pressured providers to provide this care or else face discrimination lawsuits. We must protect our children,” said Harris, stating he was “proud” to co-sponsor the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” which would prohibit such treatments.
Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of the Do No Harm organization — a body of medical professionals combating “woke” activism in health care — also told Fox News that Levine’s claims that such treatment will soon be fully embraced are “wrong and must be countered.”
“There is no good evidence that children treated with gender-altering hormones or puberty blockers have improved mental health assessments,” Goldfarb said.
“There can be irrevocable harm being done to children by those pushing for these radical, ideologically driven treatments. Treatment for minors needs to be based on rigorous scientific inquiry, not on dubious, agenda-driven studies or the demands of activists.”

As Levine stated, Biden supports such treatments — calling Florida’s push to ban them “close to sinful.”
“It’s just terrible what they’re doing,” Biden told “The Daily Show.”
“It’s not like, you know, a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I wanted to become a man,’ or ‘I want to become a woman’ … I mean, what are they thinking about here?
“It’s cruel,” he said.
Levine previously discussed her transition at a 2019 meeting of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, happily telling the audience that they “all knew Richard,” her dead name.
“My transition was very different because … I transitioned over 10 years,” she said, saying she never really considered it until in her 40s when it “became more in the culture.”
