President Joe Biden’s Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, who is transgender, was blasted online for “pure hypocrisy” after having admitted to waiting to have children before gender transitioning, despite currently pushing to normalize “gender-affirming” care, including sex changes and hormone therapies for minors.
In a resurfaced clip that went viral this week, Levine expressed relief over having transitioned later in life while speaking at a meeting of the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine in 2019.
“If I transitioned when I was young then I wouldn’t have my children. I can’t imagine a life without my children,” says Levine, who is now pushing to expand irreversible gender surgeries for minors.
In response, Levine was slammed by many who pointed to the transgender official’s more recent push for puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for teenagers as part of so-called “gender-affirming” treatment.
“Why doesn’t this guy want people to have the same opportunity as him?” asked Rubin Report host Dave Rubin.
“So, this guy who’s pushing as hard as he can for YOU to be cool with chemical castration and surgical mutilation of your child, is glad he waited to start his ‘transition’ because had he done it soon he wouldn’t have his children. That’s rich,” wrote talk radio host Joe Pagliarulo.
One Twitter user called out Levine’s “pure hypocrisy.”
“Admiral Levine is thankful she wasn’t allowed to transition as a child, but she’s working overtime to transition your kids preventing them from ever having children,” wrote a Twitter user.
“Kids for me, but not for thee!” another proclaimed.
“This is why you LEAVE children alone and let them explore their lives until they are fully, mentally formed and can make a true decision on what they want to be,” another wrote. “Keep your hands OFF our children.”
