The U.S. Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine spoke out against what is being done to us in Florida.
Adm. Rachel Levine: 'One supportive adult' can 'make all the difference' for transgender youth
Assistant Health Secretary Admiral Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender official confirmed by the United States Senate, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the “politically motivated attacks through state actions” against transgender youth, and what can be done to support the mental health of this “vulnerable” community. “Studies show, from the Trevor Project, that all it takes is one supportive adult to make all the difference for an LGBTQI+ youth, transgender youth, in terms of their risk of depression and suicide,” says Levine. “One supportive adult. That often is a teacher, or some other school personnel. And the ‘Don't Say Gay’ bill is very damaging to their health.”

And of course Fox News is hopping mad they reported.
Radio talk show host Mark Davis wrote, "God help us. I would raise no personal quarrel with #RachelLevine about trans status. What adults want to do with their own lives is none of my business. But this is unfettered advocacy of child abuse."
"This is just appalling. The Biden Presidency is destroying America," Telegraph contributor Nile Gardiner wrote.
Former Dept. of Education press secretary Angela Morabito tweeted, "Perhaps the only thing sicker than cheerleading the sterilization of children is calling it ‘empowerment.’"
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., wrote, "80% of children outgrow gender dysphoria. Under the Biden Admin’s ‘gender care’ policies, these children may suffer irreversible harm. ‘Gender-affirming care’ is child abuse.
At the end of their belittling they add…
Levine criticized the actions at the time as "targeting" trans youths to "score political points."
"Every major medical association agrees: gender-affirming care is life-saving, medically necessary, age-appropriate and a critical tool for health care providers," Levine said
