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

February 5, 2025 Hearing (Today)

========================================

How this is even an issue is pure insanity. This is what China Joe has delivered to the American People and our Children? The sniffing and groping is terrible, but this is horrific.

No child is ready for such a life altering decisions and this woman/man, I'm not sure won't even answer the question and wants to be confirmed.

Kids need to be nowhere near this trans-sexual nonsense.

 

America, where freaky comes to get it's freak on

 

There is a reason we don't allow minors to enter into contracts. I fully support anyone who wants to change anything about themselves as long as they are responsible adults and have the ability to pay for it.

Unless we teach our children to love themselves as they are, surgery will only make things worse.

 

EXACTLY. If they want to do this its fine, but doing it as a minor is not fine. What Rand says at the 3 minute mark should be enough to squash this argument permanently

 

Patty Murray must have been drunk or asleep during that exchange. "Thank you for answering the question." Are you kidding me. They didn't even pretend to answer the question.

 

Rand Paul, once again proving (as always) that he is an embarrassment to himself (and The Senate) by parroting BS Claims circulating on RW social media.

Paul specifically said Levine supports surgeries for transgender children, an inaccurate claim that has surfaced in conservative media and social media in recent days.

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health says genital surgery should not be carried out until patients reach adulthood. In 2015, Levine said during a public event that surgical treatment is not recommended before age 18.

Rand Paul is beyond embarrassing and pathetic.:smh:

 

Spot on.

If minors want to remove body parts, buy them a Mr. Potato Head!

 

100 percent agree with Rand here - I'm I guess I'd be a lefty in US. Its similar to a 9 year old wanting a tattoo on his forehead and being
allowed to get... Life changing ideas might be good at the time, but children do not have the experience to make such decisions.

I'm also 100 percent against all genital mutilation too - on male and female children - once you are adult, make the choice yourself and
then do whatever you wish to your own body

 

Do you actually have a link to something that explains what is going on here without having to hear Paul ramble on with his nonsense?

Because to my knowledge, no one is talking about gender change surgery for anyone under the age of 18.

 

"You Have Permanently Changed Them": Rand Paul Grills HHS Nominee Rachel Divine Over Parental Consent For Trans Minors

"I find it ironic that the left that went nuts over hydroxychloroquine being used possibly for COVID, are not alarmed that these hormones are being used off-label."

 

Did you even listen to the exchange. He asked a specific question regarding Rachel Levine and a previous stance she had. He posed a specific question if she supported puberty blockers or genital mutilations for minors. She refused to answer.

 

Oh Rand the crybaby who was a afraid of a few people "harassing" him and his wife. Who cares what this fake doctor thinks.

 

As she should have, Rand deserves no respect and frankly we don't need him or his vote.

 

So you don't have an actual link that supports Paul's allegations?

Ok, I will write this thread off as another bs smear campaign so typical of the Right.

 

This is the left. Giving drugs to kids. Astounding.

and the left pretending it’s not something their members advocate for. So typical of the left.

 

Why is Rand Paul ALWAYS making news for these type LOOKAT ME confrontations over stupid issues and never heard of when it comes to legislation which might help the poverty stricken of Kentucky and many other states????

 

Then I assume you are for puberty blockers and genital mutilation on minors?

 

It's no wonder the Europeans don't want our brand of Woke and think it's for total freak shows.

 

If you can't watch a direct source video from U.S. Senate testimony that explains it... find another thread and quit wasting everyone's time. WTF? Perhaps MediaMatters or MSNBC can provide you some propaganda instead?

 

That is for the parents to ultimately decide.

 

It shouldn’t be.

 

So you have nothing to actually offer on the topic. That's par for the course. Perhaps you can find create a thread on poverty stricken Kentucky?

 

Umm...because the imbecile that Paul was questioning is being nominated for Asst. Secretary of Health?

Just a wild guess.

And WTF is that dumbass Biden doing nominating a person who sent Covid patients back to nursing homes to be Asst. Secretary of Health?

Oh, that's right - identity politics trumps everything.

No wonder he's killed over 108,000 Americans since he took office...

 

God has already decided.

This is not a physical issue, but a mental issue and these people need serious counseling, not to have their sexual parts cut off and filled with drugs that we don't know the long term effects of... that's barbaric.

 

If YOU can't explain the context of Paul's argument, then it is YOU who is spreading propaganda.
