Rachel Levine advocates for the normalization of sex change operations on children
The Assistant Secretary for Transgender Health stated that gender affirming care for minors has the "strongest support" from the Biden Administration.
Deputy Secretary of Health Rachel Levine assured that gender-affirming care for minors has the Biden Administration's "strongest support" and promised that sex change for children will soon be normalized, according to Fox News:
Levine made these statements in reference to measures imposed in several states across the country that prohibit or limit sex change procedures for minors.
Biden Administration supports sex change in children
The undersecretary showed his support for the "gender-affirming care" at an event at Connecticut Children's Medical Center where the effects of Florida's Parental Rights in Education Act and the policy implications of sex reassignment surgery on children were discussed.
His statements come just a few days after President Joe Biden described as "shameful" and cruel the bill pushed by Florida's Republican congressmen that seeks to prohibit medical centers from freely performing sex change treatments and surgeries on minors throughout the state:
"No evidence" that children changing sex improves mental health
Do No Harm doctor Stanley Goldfarb commented to Fox News that Levine's statement about gender affirmation "is incorrect and should be countered." He further stated that "there is no strong evidence that children treated with gender-altering hormones or puberty blockers have improved in their mental health assessments."
Goldfarb noted that the "radical and ideologically motivated treatments can cause irreparable harm to children" and reaffirmed that sex change treatments for minors "must be based on rigorous scientific research, not dubious, agenda-driven studies or the demands of activists."
