Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Rachel Levine stated in an interview that gender reassignment procedures for minors should be considered "mental health care," as in her view they are "literally suicide prevention care."
The assistant secretary for health also reaffirmed the idea that the celebration of LGBT Pride Month should extend the entire summer season and be called the "Summer of Pride."
Despite many health specialists warning about the irreversible side effects of gender reassignment procedures on children, Levine, who is a trans man, has consistently defended them.
A few months ago, Levine commented at an event organized by the Department of Education that these treatments or surgeries on minors are "medically necessary, safe, and effective." Levine further noted, quoting White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, that trans identity is a child's "superpower."

The official also reaffirmed the idea that LGBT Pride should be celebrated all summer long, instead of just in June, known as Pride Month.
Declaring this season as the "Summer of Pride" was made by Levine last month on Twitter:
