So in the morning look at the Yahoo News there was an article on Fox about Dr. Rachel Levine how she criticized the Republican assault on trans healthcare.
Rachel Levine ripped for demanding censorship of 'misinformation' on 'gender-affirming care' for kids
Twitter users called the Biden HHS official's remarks 'evil' and an example of 'fascism'

Conservatives on Twitter blasted a recently surfaced video of the Department of Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine calling on Big Tech companies to censor "misinformation" about "gender-affirming care" for kids on the internet.Levine, a transgender woman, made the statements in May, though the video gained newfound attention on Twitter just after Christmas. Prominent Twitter users expressed horror that a government official was asking tech companies to censor content disputing that gender-affirming care for youth is a thing of "positive value."
Whoa! What is this? So I searched Google News for anything unbiased about it, these are the headlines that came up in the search…
Washington Times:
Dr. Rachel Levine slammed after calling for Big Tech to clean up ‘misinformation’ on sex change
National Review:
New York Post:
American kids are in the grip of a gender contagion
Okay those are the only headlines that I could find, nothing by any neutral news media outlets. Fox News and the New York Post are owned by Rupert Murdoch, the National Review is a far right conservative news magazine that was founded by William F. Buckley Jr and the Washington Times is owned by a right-wing News World Communications, an international media conglomerate founded by Sun Myung Moon.
Notice how the National Review calls the:
- American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
- American Academy of Dermatology
- American Academy of Family Physicians
- American Academy of Nursing
- American Academy of Pediatrics
- American Academy of Physician Assistants
- American College Health Association
- American College of Nurse-Midwives
- American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
- American College of Physicians
- American Counseling Association
- American Heart Association
- American Medical Association
- American Medical Student Association
- American Nurses Association
- American Osteopathic Association
- American Psychiatric Association
- American Psychological Association
- American Public Health Association
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons
- Endocrine Society
- GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ Equality
- National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health
- National Association of Social Workers
- National Commission on Correctional Health Care
- Pediatric Endocrine Society
- Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine
- World Medical Association
- World Professional Association for Transgender Health
Misinformation.
This is how the right-wing media works, if you only read these media outlets then the only thing you would know are the lies that they push.
The Fox article goes on to say,
Levine then claimed that the country is "facing an onslaught of anti-LGBTQI+ actions at the state levels across the United States," adding, "They are dangerous to the public health."
Levine continued, saying, "The positive value of gender-affirming care for youth and adults is not in scientific or medical dispute."
[…]
The American Conservative senior editor Rod Dreher suggested Levine was a fascist, tweeting, "When fascism comes to America, it will be under the guises of Health and Safety."
Claremont Institute Lincoln fellow Terry Schilling argued that Levine’s statements were worse than communist propaganda. He wrote, "Even the communists didn’t promote evil like this. They at least lied to make themselves look more competent. This is something different. They are still in the destruction phase of this nation. They know the opposition is strong and that’s why it needs to be shut down."
After seeing the clip, Christian pastor Timothy Alden remarked, "Evil is an understatement."
And you wonder why conservatives still think we are evil after reading this BS that is reputed by every medical and psychiatric association in the nation.

They even warp the definition of Fascism, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary,
1: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
