Biden’s Assistant Health Secretary: We need to ’empower’ youths ‘to get gender affirmation treatment’

On Friday, a Trump-appointed judge in Tennessee temporarily blocked the Biden Administration’s LGBTQ policy guidelines surrounding transgender workers and students to use gender-appropriate bathrooms, and participate in sports teams, according to a Reuters report.

Speaking on Monday about the health aspects of our current “climate change emergency,” Biden’s Assistant Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, a biological male, addressed the Friday ruling. “We really want to base our treatment and to affirm and to support and empower these youth, not to limit their participation in activities and sports and even limit their ability to get gender affirmation treatment in their state.” we need to “empower” kids to go on puberty blockers.”

Why is the Biden administration promoting such dangerous and irreversible treatments for minors?

What if some of these individuals have been misdiagnosed? What if, rather than suffering from gender dysphoria, they’re struggling with trauma, internalized homophobia, depression, or they’re simply confused adolescents? And what if they’ve undergone an irreversible surgical procedure and then realized they’d made a terrible mistake?

Unfortunately, this scenario is playing out with increasing frequency, and the results are truly devastating.

There is no doubt some individuals are delighted with their choices. Unfortunately, there is growing evidence that others are deeply unhappy with their decisions, and they are starting to speak out.

Instead of “empowering” minors to seek “gender affirmation treatments,” responsible adults should prevent them from making permanent changes for what is, in many cases, passing turmoil.

Last month, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) introduced a bill, the “ Protect Minors from Medical Malpractice Act of 2022 ,” that would allow adults to sue medical practitioners who performed any gender-transition procedure on them as minors for a period of 30 years after their 18th birthday.

Responsible parties should face a reckoning. Many young people, particularly adolescents, are confused and see transitioning as the solution. Unfortunately, health professionals, school counselors, and woke parents are often too quick to agree with them.

Rather than glamorizing this dangerous trend, medical professionals and lawmakers must take a closer look at the consequences that are just starting to be revealed.

  1. “What if some of these individuals have been misdiagnosed?” If they are diagnosed to be gender dysphoric, which is the excuse the left is using to castrate little boys and gut little girls, there is no proper treatment, including gender reassignment surgery. All that is is butchery.
    All kids being diagnosed for the purpose of having the surgery are absolutely being diagnosed for all the wrong reasons. That disease is a made up politically motivated way of preventing more kids from growing to maturity and having children. And any surgeon who performs surgery on any child, with or without parental permission, should be taken out and hanged, or strapped down and lethally injected.
    The surgery has nothing to do with the welfare of the patient, but it does have the same rate of suicide that those diagnosed and untreated have, so there can be no benefit to the “patient”.

    C’mon, physicians! Quit making money off quackery medicine. At least live up to your Hippocratic oath.
