It's Not a Purim Joke, Unfortunately
USA TODAY boasted:
Every day across our country, USA TODAY’s Women of the Year lead and inspire, promote and fight for equity, give others a place to seek help and find hope.
They are strong and resilient women who have been champions of change and courage, often quietly, but with powerful results. And often despite their own challenges.
Some of the women may be familiar names. Others may be new to you. Each has an inspiring and powerful story.
Of Levine, USA TODAY noted, “Levine, 64, a trained pediatrician, became the nation’s highest-ranking openly transgender official last March when the Senate confirmed her as assistant secretary of health.”
Levine told USA TODAY, “I really feel that everything I’ve ever done, whether it was in academic medicine, in education, in clinical research, seeing my patients in my role in public health, in Pennsylvania and now my role nationally…has all led to this moment in terms of helping the nation through this greatest public health crisis that we have faced in over a hundred years.”
In my experience there are two types of trans
ReplyDeleteThe first are the genuine ones. These are people with no other major mental health issues who really do have this nagging feeling they're the opposite gender. When given the change, they commit to it. They do the hormones, they do the surgery and they continue in their new lifestyle faithfully.
The second are the frauds. These are the people who usually have other mental health issues like depression or a bunch of personality disorders. They're the ones who might take some hormones but inconsistently. Their "transition" is to wear the clothes of their new gender and maybe change their hairstyle, maybe not. Some, like Lia Thomas, are obviously doing it for the benefits and immediately glory.
So which kind is Levine? It would seem that "she" is the sincere kind.
