A video clip has gone viral of U.S. Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine calling for laws to "support and empower" youths by not limiting their "participation in activities or sports" or "their ability to get gender affirmation treatment" in their state.
Levine was speaking in opposition to states such as Florida that have taken steps to limit “transgender care” for children. Early treatments for children include puberty blockers and hormones, some of which were flagged by the FDA last month because of a “plausible” link to a serious brain disorder called "pseudotumor cerebri."

Just wait... In 10 to 15 years there is going to be a good deal of blowback as most of these so called trans are just confused kids jumping on the cool thing to do or be and in the near future they will see how they really F'ed up their lives when they decide to go back and can't. Go back 2 decades and tats were the thing and now everyone has tats so they do not make a normal person special anymore. What does today is to have unique pronouns or doing something like trans...All of this is the next tattoo thing.

Most transgender people forgo gender reassignment surgery, with only 11 percent of transgender women having had their testicles removed and 12 percent undergoing vaginoplasty, according to a landmark U.S. survey of nearly 28,000 transgender adults released last year by the National Center for Transgender Equality.
