Im familiar with her because she was PA's physician general unanimously confirmed, then later appointed to PA's health secretary by the governor and unanimously confirmed again by the Pennsylvania State Senate back in 2015
Then The Biden admin called her up and now this . . .

Congrats Admiral Dr. Levine!!!

This is great because other than word coming out a while back that she was nominated, I hardly heard a thing about the confirmation until now.

Yeah like I said, i was mainly in the loop cause she is a home state girl and many loved her here in her early days and later during her covid broadcasts.

Its was nice to see such top regarded medical professionals and even the state congress speak so highly of her. I mean basically, her record, knowledge and ability forced the respect of some becasue it cant be denied but its awesome to see that bigotry took a back burner.

It's nice to see tactile signs of progress.
 
What about her politics?

Im unaware of her politics nor do they matter to me as long as she is qualified and does a good job. History and many qualified people seem to think thats the case.

Ah...the lady that wouldn't answer a simple question on whether she thinks that doing reassignment surgery in children is OK (which we all know is an answer in itself). It's kinda like how you wouldn't answer a simple question on what makes male and female.

LMAO???? this is awsome . . . facts and post history prove i factually answered, you making triggered meltdown posts over the facts i presented, not liking the answer and lying about it doesnt change anything.
It just makes it more awesome and entertaining for me and it makes the crying and lying in your posts about it look that much more deliciously stupid and triggered.
I got an idea maybe make 10 more triggered meltdown posts about it in 10 other random threads . . . . . . that will help!
another incoming meltodwn post in 3 . . .2 . . . .

Her politics don't matter?! What's she 'bringing to the table'? Is she progressive or what?

Source/context? Because if by children you mean 17+ year olds, then I agree they should be able to decide.

"Rachel Levine Makes History As 1st Openly Trans Federal Official Confirmed By Senate

The Senate voted Wednesday to confirm Dr. Rachel Levine as assistant secretary for health in the Department of Health and Human Services. The vote is a history-making one: Levine is the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the Senate.
The vote was 52-48 in favor of her confirmation. Levine was previously Pennsylvania's secretary of health, where she led the commonwealth's COVID-19 response. Before the vote, Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., urged her colleagues to support Levine's nomination, calling her a "trusted voice" for Pennsylvanians on matters, including opioid prescribing guidelines, health equity and LGBTQ health care. Murray also noted the significance of the vote."I've always said the people in our government should reflect the people it serves, and today we will take a new historic step towards making that a reality. I'm proud to vote for Dr. Levine and incredibly proud of the progress this confirmation will represent, for our country and for transgender people all across it who are watching today," she said.

Levine began her medical career as a pediatrician at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, and she is a professor at the Penn State College of Medicine, where she teaches on topics such as adolescent medicine, eating disorders and transgender medicine. She is a graduate of Harvard College and the Tulane University School of Medicine."

There must be some mistake, they keep calling it, her. There is absolutely no change genetically, that is still a man who simply had cosmetic surgery, there is no physiological change whatsoever, it's mental illness.
 
More articles from Fox and The Hill
its nice that this is getting out there like it should

I know based on the bigoted hate you're spewing here that you don't care but I just wanted to take a moment to point out that the point is going entirely over your head given that you are apparently incapable of understanding the difference between gender and sex (I will not comment and just let others infer as to what that could mean about your mental capacity).

It was in the congressional hearing when she was questioned by Rand Paul. She kept babbling a non-answer on repeat.

That you don't care if children have have permanent life-altering surgeries says more about you than anyone else.
 
Changes nothing that is a man! You can act a fool if you want!! How is communicating the truth hate!

^---talk about a lack of self-awareness. Look at what you wrote and tell me who is the one having the meltdown. Oh...and you still haven't answered the question.
 
You sure are triggered about something that's someone else's personal choice.
My issue is, there has been no change biologically so no change period except cosmetically, call it, what it is. His mental illness should disqualify him form his job
