Biden appoints Dr. Rachel Levine as assistant secretary of health, a historic first for transgender people If approved, Levine would be the first ever Senate-confirmed trans official in U.S. history. For the first time in history, a transgender person will go before the Senate to be confirmed for a presidential appointment. President-elect Joe Biden has nominated Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine to serve as assistant secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. If approved, Levine would be the first ever Senate-confirmed trans official in U.S. history. In 2015, her appointment as Pennsylvania Physician General was unanimously approved by both parties in the state Senate. “Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond,” Biden said in a statement. “She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts.” ne’s appointment sends a strong message that the administration intends to reverse course on what advocates say has been four years of war against LGBTQ+ people under the Trump administration. While LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization GLAAD claims that President Donald Trump attacked the community more than 180 times in his term, most of his policy changes, done through executive order, may swiftly be undone by the Biden administration. HHS rules, however, will be an exception. In June, the agency axed landmark protections for transgender people in the Affordable Care Act. The change came after an avalanche of moves seeking to allow health care workers to turn away transgender patients, people with HIV and those seeking abortions. Last week, HHS also finalized a rule that allows government-funded social service providers to turn away LGBTQ+ people, a move that advocates say will have far-reaching consequences. HHS rules will be harder to undo than executive order because they require strict procedure, including public comment periods for rules. Levine’s appointment puts an exclamation point on Biden’s promise to meet the devastating health disparities facing transgender Americans. Last month, Biden nominated California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. LGBTQ+ rights groups praised that pick — Becerra is viewed as a longtime ally of the community. Cc Mynd44 OAM4J

Arrrrrrrh On a serious note, most times I love Trump.. His no nosense attitude is awesome. He often frown at LGBTQ+, Restrictions for Muslim coming from terrorist Islamic countries and others. The moment Biden surface he has start destroying his tenure. How on earth will a transgender lead a health administration? A person that change his gender? This so epic ! Removing the restrictions on ban to Muslims from terrorist country. Is alright, American is gradually going to it kneel. I fear for the great American ! 3 Likes |

That's their business so far they don't force their sexual orientation on others I see no reason why a sane human should be concerned ![]() |

Brandonx: We understand how you feel and encourage you to keep your sexuality private as we don't care but if you are to venture into public office then your privacy is no more private hence why it's called public officer No to transgender in office 1 Like |

AlphaLover: On what grounds? Does his sexual orientation affect his ability to deliver? Or is he in anyway less than a human? Y'all should learn how to mind your business and person's private life is not up to you to judge. 2 Likes |

Brandonx: Let me explain it's a good question. Now if I say to u bros from today I want to self identify as a helicopter. So I want you to refer to as see me as a helicopter. Now does that make sense ? NO but according to your logic it does. Now if suddenly 8 said infact i want to pay 4 surgery to have all my organs removed and replaced with propellers so you call me heli the helicopter does that still make me a helicopter? No it doesn't. Now imagine where a man decides he want to be a woman n goes to have his penis chopped off n his flat chest pumped out and everything this is a transgender right and now he is a woman right ? Wrong A woman is more than a vagina , breasts and long hair A woman has a chromosome of XX 2hile a.man will forever have XY no matter the surgery he has nothing can change this . All transgender are people with mental health problems and are not fit for public office. 2 Likes |

gaius01: Tell us what your religious bigoted leaders who don't appoint LGBT have achieved. Tell us why the incoming president shouldn't appoint her. What is the connection between her sexual orientation and her ability to deliver if she is capable. I don't understand how you people think. Your religious country Nigeria that does not give appointment to LGBT is still crawling. ![]() Banning Muslims from America doesn't make America more secure. Dullard Trump did that to please and get more support from his evangelical base. Black man and his rusty mentality. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
