Let Children Be Children

I was a tomboy as a child–I played softball, I climbed trees, I roller skated, I was always moving. I am sure many of the women who are reading this could say the same thing. Thank God no one ever tried to convince us that we were boys. I wonder if it’s safe to be a tomboy today.

On Friday, Townhall reported the following:

At this point, nothing should be shocking regarding the Biden Administration, not even when it means pushing young kids to undergo life-alternating procedures. 

Assistant Secretary of Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Rachel Levine promises that medically changing children’s gender will be fully “normalized” soon.

And if that isn’t twisted enough, Levine continued to say that “gender-affirming” treatment of transgender kids is supported “at the highest levels” of President Joe Biden’s administration.

“I can say that the children, their families, and you all as their providers have support at the highest levels of the federal government,” Levine said while speaking at the Pediatric Grand Rounds session in Hartford. “President Biden supports you … Vice President [Kamala] Harris supports you. Across the administration, the departments support you,” Levine said, adding that she talks “about this topic everywhere I go.”

The woke Biden official claimed that critics who aim to end the progressive push of transgenderism on minors are “ideologically and politically motivated,” calling them “unconscionable.”

The article notes:

Levine claimed that “gender-affirming” care is necessary and that hormone and puberty blockers are safe and effective, although research supporting this idea is extremely weak. 

However, critics are pushing back against the Left’s radical push to indoctrinate children. 

Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), a House Doctors Caucus physician member, told Fox News that it is “reprehensible for a government official — let alone the assistant U.S. secretary of HHS — to promote the genital mutilation of minors as becoming a standard practice.”

The inmates are running the asylum.
