Levine Slammed For Claim Kids Can Go Through ‘Wrong Puberty’

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine was slammed this week on social media for claiming in an interview that children can go through “the wrong puberty.”

“The treatment options for gender-affirming care for transgender youth really are evidence-based,” Levine claimed during an interview on ABC’s Nightline. “Adolescence is hard and puberty is hard. What if you’re going through the wrong puberty? What if you inside feel that you are female, but now you’re going through a male puberty?”

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro fired back at Levine, “What if you’re a mentally ill person given extraordinary power to say insane things.”

“No one can go through ‘the wrong puberty,’” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said. “Woke bureaucrats are lying to our children and trying to destroy our country. We must fight back.”

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) blasted Levine: “He has no business pushing these dangerous procedures—that have no basis in science—on kids.”

Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh tweeted, “Yes, what if you’re going through the wrong puberty? Also, what if you have the wrong liver or the wrong left kneecap? What if you have the wrong eye color? What if you have the wrong DNA? These and many other questions make sense if you’re a delusional schizophrenic.”
