Rand Paul questions Dr. Rachel Levine on puberty blockers for minors with gender dysphoria

WTF does this have to do with the OP?

 

Allegations? He asked her a gaddamned question! If she can't even answer that simple question she should be instantly disqualified.

 

No. it's not. It should be criminal to do that to a child.

 

Agree, same for gay conversion therapy

 

It is rather curious how Levine failed to express his alleged opposition to transgender procedures for children on the record when given the opportunity to do so. I can only wonder why he would squander such a golden opportunity to prove Rand Paul wrong in front of the entire country.

For some mysterious reason I'm reminded of an old adage: Silence is consent...

 

I suggest you take a look at todays MSN main page where there is a picture of a bird born half male and half female.

 

So parents should be able to force their children into therapy, or to join a cult, or preform genital mutilation on them but they cannot decide the medicines they should be on with the advice of medical professions?

Is that correct?

 

I suggest you contemplate the difference between a bird that was born a hermaphrodite and a child that wasn't.

While you're pondering that mystery, perhaps you should also ask yourself why society and the law distinguishes between children and adults...

 

I've seen this absurd assertion on several threads. How is Biden killing people and where did you get this insane idea?

 

It's been announced that they've gone gender-neutral.

 

Where do you think I got it?

 

Probably has a nuanced position and doesn’t want to risk any sound bites that will take her out of context.

 

NUANCE AWAY!!! I'M GAME

 

Thats great!!! The Mr. part got cancelled!!!!! Watch out Mr. Clean!!!

 

LOL

Look here brother - who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?

 

Mr. Clean is toast - he's a symbol of toxic masculinity. Time for Proctor and Gamble to find a new politically-correct androgynous mascot that won't hurt anyone's feewings:



Yikes! It looks eerily familiar...

 

Really? Even when it's a strawman argument? The video link starts off with his question about genital mutilation, but what and where is that happening in the US? I'm asking for what basis is Paul's question, but all I'm seeing is the transphobes lighting their hair on fire.

And yes, I don't blame her for evading his question because as we all know, medicine is a nuanced science, unless you're playing politics like Paul is doing.

Over and over again, I continually see the Rump minions get all into a tizzy over bullshit issues that aren't even real except in the hate-filled and ignorant sphere of right-wing rags.

 

But how is Biden killing people? Just because you see it on the internet doesn't make it true.

 

Okay, so I finally had a chance to listen to Rand Paul's full strawman argument. The example he cites with Kira Bell is pure poppycock theater. Kira Bell lives in London, UK, and was treated under the NHS. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51676020

WTF? This is a nothing burger!

 

We have that today and have always had that. It's called hermaphrodite and only then do I think a parent should consent on what gender a child should be.

 

Here's the context the OP is leaving out:

Levine was later defended by other members of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, who called Paul’s line of questioning inappropriate and uninformed.

“It is really critical to me that our nominees be treated with respect and that our questions focus on their qualifications,” Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) said, “rather than ideological and harmful misrepresentations.”

The LGBTQ Victory Institute, which works to elevate LGBTQ people in politics and government, called Paul’s remarks deeply offensive.

“His remarks echo the talking points of the same organizations who said gay men deserved AIDS and that LGBTQ people should be criminalized,” Ruben Gonzales, the group’s executive director, said in a statement. “He explicitly attacked vulnerable trans youth for his own perceived political gain and it was a disgrace.”

Levine has been the subject of repeated misgendering by Republican lawmakers and staff since her nomination, particularly as the leadup to the Equality Act—set to be passed by the House of Representatives later on Thursday—has prompted opponents to fixate on trans children in school sports as a reason to defeat the legislation.

This man and he is a man, man who suffers from pretending to be a woman and that dressing like a woman changes him into a woman. He should NEVER be in some official position as to health and as to human services. And this insulting and offending performance he gave here only puts icing on that cake. First his answer was COMPLETED scripted in anticipation of the question. That was part of his preparation, if they ask you about it pull the higher authority thing and how complex it is and too complex to give answer here in my PUBLIC hearing where the citizens can hear my positions and make their judgements they are too stupid to do that so we'll discuss it in private.

Note how he gave the canned response TWICE. Senator Paul explained the reality of what is occurring and asked this man a DIRECT question to which he owes us a DIRECT answer. But I think it is clear what will be his answer and because of that and the disrespect he has shown parents throughout this country his name should be immediately withdrawn and if Biden refuses then he is unextractably tied to that policy of drugging and mutilating young children.

 

And when they can't win on the merits declare offense and attack the speaker.

Sen. Paul was spot on with everything he said and they cannot justify their positions on the matter and only show how dangerous these people are to our children.

 

She is onboard with the LGBTHEXYZ political movement to normalize the behavior and important to that is converting children to their beliefs and interfere with parental authority. This man dressing like and pretending to be a woman is saying HE knows better for the children than their parents. Disgusting and if Biden had any care for children and families he would immediately withdraw the man's name and admit he made a mistake.

 

Quote me the part where he said he would not support transgendered therapies and surgery on young children, give me the timestamp in the OP video where he said that.
