Rand Paul angrily confronted Joe Biden's pick for assistant secretary for Health and Human Services on Thursday, likening gender changes surgeries to genital mutilation and pushing the transgender nominee on if they would allow minors to decide if they want to go on hormones to stop puberty.
'We should be outraged that someone is talking to a three-year-old about changing their sex,' Paul said of Rachel Levine, a transgender woman Biden picked to help head up HHS.
Paul, who was a practicing ophthalmologist before becoming a U.S. senator, likened transgender minors starting on transitioning treatments to genital mutilation, blaming the increasing rates of trans-identified youth on 'the social pressure to conform.'
Is that a sad pathetic mentally ill person or what ?

This is really getting out of control. If the purpose is to completely turn every aspect of normality on it's head, they're doing a fine job. It's as if the general population is being goaded into a forceful response.

"Rachel" Levine is not a transgender woman. He is an old ugly white guy who has serious mental issues. My question is why do the media insist on enabling these nutcases in their delusions by referring to them as women, when they are obviously not? Seems as though much of the world is having a serious issue with reality.

That thing is just a sick old perv who is getting his 15 minutes. For every one person who enables his fantasy of normalcy, a hundred thousand are laughing at it. I predict that someday soon he will realize deep in his heart what a joke he is and how he has been used. On that day he will run the engine in his garage and go nighty night.

We in Pennsylvania have been dealing with this quack for 6 years. This person took he/she's mother out the elderly care facility before the guidance came out that caused the large death count of elderly in our state. He/she followed the same rules that Cuomo did to NY.

I applaud Rand Paul for stating the truth. We need more push back on these issues because they are important. Normal folks out here in flyover country need to hear their opinions expressed by our leaders. They are not some wackadoodle backwoods thinking, they are grounded in common sense and science. The leftists are the ones outside the realm of normality and everyone knows it but are afraid they will be bullied if they point out what an injustice to children that this madness is. We cannot be pushed around by those with mental issues and the people who advocate for them. What has happened to our scientific community that they will buy into this garbage? The harm they are doing to children should be enough to encourage them to rethink this. Personally, I don’t care what transgenders want to believe. They cross the line, however, when they and anyone who supports them start to involve children. Anyone with a lick of sense should know this push to prescribe puberty blockers and surgery to minors is reckless and dangerous. Children should never be used as guinea pigs and scientists have admitted that they don’t know the consequences of using these drastic measures on children. What it comes down to is progressives are willing to sacrifice children if it means they can chip away at the foundation of normalcy. Isn’t it suspect when belief in their core issues is grounded not in science but in feelings? Leave children out of this madness. God help the children who have liberal parents who buy everything the left is selling hook, line and sinker. When they can put more faith in progressive dogma than they can actual science, they have lost it and in this particular instance are abusing their children.

If mistreatment, or is it mishandling, of a corpse is a crime...why isn't this? Deceased persons have more protections than our children?! Whoever is pulling the Bidiot's strings seems determined to place the most evil, disgusting and mentally ill person in each appointed position. But I guess that is the theme of his regime.

I think Republicans should blow up pictures of that Trans Person and put them on Billboards all over this country. THIS is the Face of the Democrat Party! This Person would scare the bejesus out of almost anyone who came face to face with her/him. THIS is what the Democrats have become, the party of the Freaks, Liars and Pelosi Clones. Their only reason for being is to tear down this country. Time to put a huge wall in front of them and tell them to live in their own Country and leave ours alone. If they want to allow three year Old kids to be maimed for life, go to Iraq or some Third world country where they do such horrific things. Don't try to make it legal here! That Candidate of Biden's should WAKE people up as to how LOW The Democrat Party has gone. I think over the next four years Democrats will leave that Party in Droves. Biden's Cabinet and their Policies will be too much, even for a Democrat!!

I watched that exchange. Paul asked intelligent questions which the transgender answered both times with the same (word-for-word) rehearsed non-answer.
That nominee isn't even very bright and I believe is only being used by Joe Bribem's handlers as a middle finger up the nose of normal America.
There are hundreds of qualified medical professionals that could have been nominated.
Instead, we got the most in-your-face, disgusting lump of transgenderism they could find.
Levine is a caricature meant to offend us. Why? Because they have total control? But what's the point?

It's a violation of my First Amendment rights to be required to call this extremely ugly, comprehensively mentally ill man a woman. In a way it makes perfect sense that the brain-dead Xiden would choose such a freak to head a federal agency. He wants to tear down the institutions for his Chinese masters. If I met this "Rachel" in public, I would thoroughly enjoy telling it how "beautiful" it is, and watch it explode. Ridicule is how to deal with these cracked persons, and anyone who would promote such an individual to head a bureaucracy.

The Democrats have truly become the Insane Party. How can anyone support their policies? It's like living in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Every single law, policy, or "reform" of theirs is totally nuts, and named to sound wonderful ("Affordable Care Act," "Equality Act," "Criminal Reform Act"), but meaning the exact opposite in reality.

That’s just a guy who let his hair grow long and put on a dress. Even his glasses are masculine. Does he still have his equipment? I’ll bet he does. If he has breasts I’ll bet that they’re just man boobs because he’s fat. He’s just a complete attention seeking evil fraud.
The fact that someone on Xiden’s team takes him seriously and wants to promote his agenda is tragic.

Rand Paul is right.
People put way too much faith in the medical industry. Is gender transition real or is it mutilation and messing up a person's body chemistry? My guess is the latter. Gender transition is an entire industry that probably can be completely chalked up to medical malpractice. The medical industry is doing something a certain group of people want regardless of the consequences.
Until you have been on the receiving end of a bad treatment prescribed by a doctor, one doesn't realize how much trust we've put in our doctors, and how much it is misplaced.
I can personally think of two instances where doctors prescribed treatments for me that had adverse side effects. In both cases I had to get off certain medications. One was at my insistence, and I had to change doctors after doing it. Doctors don't like it when patients tell them that their treatment is wrong. The other was rather obvious. Two meds together caused me bouts of irregular heartbeat. My pharmicist warned me multiple times about it. I notified my doctors, and was met with a shrug of the shoulders. It took five years until one doctor realized I should not be on one of the meds. It took them FIVE YEARS to figure out something that was obvious.
Its not called 'practicing medicine' for nothing because that is precisely what it is. Some doctors know what they are doing. Others do not, nor do they care.

Everyone is on point here. I would only point out two things. Rand Paul MD still practices opthamology on at least annual medical missions and perhaps more frequently on breaks from the Senate. I believe he's retired his private practice given his other duties. Levine is fondly known in PA and NJ as Itt, after Cousin Itt of the Addams Family. He is one sick, sanctimonious, hypocritical, perverted dude. There, your chuckle for the day.

So? Senator Rand is right.
Transgenders have a 19x higher rate of suicide, even if they are accepted, supported, and allowed to have the surgeries. 19 times. The only comparable increase in suicide rate on Planet Earth is diagnosed schizophrenics.

I stopped shopping at target... not wanting to confront a six foot hairy dude wearing a cocktail dress and shiny pumps in the next stall....as for the house representative flying the gay flag in the capitol...you are in congress to do the work of the people...not to validate your family life...if your daughter is gender confused... not my problem... take it to God!!

They are trying to get us to become so despondent, we give up. We lose hope.
First the stolen election, now the perverts, pedophiles are placed in high positions.
Now, no more legal protests will be allowed in the Capitol.
War conducted with no authorization.
They are flooding the zone, to overwhelm us. Even conservative Justices have gone rouge.
Schools are closed. Businesses shut down. NY plays are ended. And the actors seem to love it.
Racism is revived. They are pitting American against American.
Pence could have declared both sets of electors invalid, he is in on it with all of Congress.

Mentally-ill people suffering from gender dysphoria are the latest protected class whose feelings must be validated at all costs. If that means suppressing the truth that might cause them to rethink their delusions or get therapy, so be it. Instead of indulging these people in their mental illness, we should be counseling them and trying to help them. It is just the latest in the continuum of misguided kindness towards the mentally ill that worsens rather than improves their lives.

Remember this is the piece of garbage that secretly moved his/her mother out of a state run nursing home when the Chinese flu started to kick in ... and kept his/her concerns a secret. Despite being the state's Health Commissioner!
Never mind what this one unbalanced fool will do ... worry more about what is coming after!
The Equality Act and similar items on the Demo-rat agenda are the real reason the fence is in place around the Capitol with armed National Guard troops. They are clearly planning something that many of us would consider the 2021 equivalent of deserving a Fort Sumter redux.
And if you don't believe "Rachel" Levine isn't really a woman under that pukey "dress" and 5 o'clock shadow then you can just s... no ... nope can't go there ... Lucianne would ban me!

We can laugh and/or complain all we want but this is a candidate seriously put up by the Biden Administration. God help us if he/she gets in. Sometimes I wonder if people like this aren't just put in the mix to divert from the really dangerous nominations, like Biccera. So anyone objecting doesn't want to look too much like a spoil sport and will let his very dangerous ilk through.

A couple of months back I saw on the TV news a mother of an 8 year old boy who claimed he wanted to be a girl. At that age children live in a semi make believe world. He may have been trying to please his mother’s wish that he was a girl. The fact that she wanted to start irreversible sex changed procedures now makes me wonder what she was thinking. Six months from now he might want to be a monkey, instead of a girl! Such are the whims of a young child.
To make such life changes in a child is wrong!

Those who saw the exchange between Senator Paul and the incompetent, not to mention bizarre, nominee for HHS saw no fury or anger. Paul calmly asked his questions and just as calmly noted that the nominee refused to answer some basic questions. No Republican should vote for Ms. Levine yet, just as they did for previous incompetent and radical nominees, the majority will vote for her. With Mitch McConnell as the apparently eternal "leader" of the Republican senators to "go along to get along" is the guiding philosophy of a bunch of losers.
