    Levine had opportunity to address Paul’s questions. Offer some inside or set the record straight. Both times he did not offer anything but a canned, prepared response that said he/she/it would not address it openly at this time. One can only see that Paul got him/her/it.

    Well DUH why state the obvious?

    What a blatant falsehood he was saying the PARENTS DID and THEY not the government should make an such decisions and when asked Levine could not give a straight answer rather insulting us citizens as in it is just to complicated for the ignorant masses to discuss here.

    And both used to transition, dodging all you got? Do you think a child should be able to make a decision on either? THAT was the question Sen. Rand asked and could not get an answer other than the insulting canned answer he was instructed to give and he did it TWICE.

    How about physical mutilation for a start, what do you think? How about administering unauthorized hormone treatments to cause permanent changes through their puberty? And parents make the decision about therapy do you think the child should?

    Dressing in a dress and putting on makeup and wearing women's shoes does not make a man a woman. Cutting off his penis and testicles does not make a man a woman. It is a man pretending to be a woman. And we should not have such people with such abnormal behavior incharge of our Health and Human Services ESPECIALLY when they cannot give a straight answer to the question he was asked. Our children comes before HIM and Biden wanting some inane "first" to add to his political bone fides.

    Gender is set by your gene's and dressing like the other one tends to do doesn't change that. There is no such thing as a "sex-change" you cannot change your sex even by mutilating your body.

    It's horrible what they are doing to these children. When these children grow up and realize the vileness with which they have been used, they will likely hate the Left with a passion unmatched by any other segment of society.

    PA is ranked 46th for it's dangerous conditions in nursing homes during the COVID crisis.
    Levine forced nursing homes to admit COVID positive patients even though they had no means to properly isolate them. As a result, COVID swept through PA nursing homes like wildfire, violently strangling the elderly to death.
    As Levine was forcing elderly care facilities to admit COVID positive patients that they could not properly care for and isolate from the other elderly residents, this vile monster removed her mother from a personal care home as COVID-19 spread in such elderly facilities.

    So you feel we should ban male circumcision?

    What do you mean by “unauthorized hormone treatments? You do realize that GnRH analogues are both effective and cause little to no long term side effects (and are completely reversible). Yes?

    So parents should be able to force their child into therapy that has been proven not to work and is actually harmful but should not be allowed to follow medical and psychological direction with this child’s wishes?

    I noticed you skipped over the religious indoctrination. Must have missed it... completely not on purpose, I’m sure...

    ‘Equality Act’ Is Proof Democrats Are Clinically Insane.

    “The Equality Act also gives federal protection to male athletes who want to identify as female and compete in women’s sports. The party that fashions itself as the champion of women hates and disrespects female athletes.”

    I repeat: gender and sex aren't the same thing. And I didn't say anything about someone getting a "sex-change."

    You do not have any evidence to support your claim that GNRH is both effective and without side effects, as there is a lack of research. Recently, the FDA put out a warning about increased risk of diabetes, heart problems, and sudden death for Lupron. I have friends working on litigation brought against pharmaceutical companies that suddenly received a deluge of complaints from patients and doctors due to the spread of misinformation about GNRH. Morons at medical associations were pressured by people like you to misinform parents about the safety of these drugs, even though drug companies didn’t want to take that risk due to the obvious and devastating consequences. Also, 75-80% of people reconcile with their birth sex with therapy instead of drugs, so you would essentially be subjecting a vast majority of children to severe side effects even though only 2-4% of children that receive puberty blockers every become reconciled according to European clinical reports. https://www.reuters.com/article/pro...state-cancer-drug-risks-idUSN2023704420101021

    Lest we forget, thar's $$$$ to be made off them confused people, Google up "Sex Reassignment Surgery Market Statistics 2020-2029 Global Report". And remember, while God may rule the Universe, $$$$ rules the Earth. :nod:

    If the drugs are unsafe or not reversible then I would change my position as it is wholly dependent on those metrics.
    Do tell, who are “people like me”?
    I have seen results as high as 94% of them “grow out” of this which is why I support no surgery or other means of addressing it that are not fully reversible. If the drugs are not safe then they should not be an option.

    What do you mean if the drugs is unsafe? The FDA is warning people that the drug isn't safe, because thousands of deaths are linked to puberty blockers. Over 6,500 in the last 6 years. Here's the FDA website. Look up the drug Lupron. This one brand of puberty blockers is also used for cancer, but a significant amount of children (non-specified age) are part of the 200 deaths per year that occurs from reactions. https://fis.fda.gov/sense/app/d10be...e-845c-48e2-bc81-8141c6aaf772/state/analysis; https://canadafreepress.com/article/puberty-blockers-linked-to-thousands-of-deaths

    And I didn't mean anything by "people like you." I just don't know how someone could believe that stopping puberty for 2-4 years could possibly be safe. This is a time of development for your bones and brain. Yet, you have people from the pediatric association telling parents and children that it's safe because the SJW cult will come after them. https://www.statnews.com/2017/02/02/lupron-puberty-children-health-problems/

    One cannot reason with true believers. I learned that a long time ago.
