‌

During‌ the‌ interview, Levine⁣ defended gender-affirming care for transgender youth, stating that it ‌is‌ evidence-based. He⁣ posed⁢ the⁢ question,‌ “What if⁢ you’re⁤ going through the ⁢wrong puberty? ‌What⁢ if you‌ feel‌ internally⁣ that⁤ you ‌are ⁣female,⁤ but your body is ⁣going ⁣through ⁤male puberty?”

​

Assistant⁣ Secretary for Health​ Admiral Levine — who transitioned *as ‍an ​adult* — dismisses the question ⁤of why children ⁢can’t ​wait⁣ until⁤ they‌ turn ⁤18 ‌to pursue‍ sex⁢ change⁢ surgeries:

‍

“Adolescence ⁣is hard ⁣and‌ puberty ⁣is hard. ‍What ⁢if⁢ you’re⁣ going⁢ through‍ the ⁤wrong puberty?”

Levine ‍faced ‌significant backlash for his statement ⁤about going through the “wrong puberty.”

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro strongly criticized ‍Levine, questioning‍ the mental state of someone with‌ such power to⁤ make such outrageous claims.

⁢

Republican presidential candidate and ⁣Florida ​Governor ⁤Ron ‍DeSantis urged ⁤Americans to‍ resist⁣ “woke​ bureaucrats” and⁤ fight⁢ against⁤ their influence.

⁢

DeSantis ​stated, ‍”No one can ⁣go ⁢through ‘the wrong puberty.’ Woke⁤ bureaucrats are deceiving our children and attempting ‍to undermine our ‌nation. We must ⁢stand up ‍and ‌fight back.”

Senator⁢ Tom Cotton⁣ (R-AR) ‌condemned⁣ Levine, ​asserting⁤ that ‌he has​ no⁢ authority to promote these risky procedures⁣ that lack ​scientific basis, ‌especially when it comes⁣ to ⁤children.

Matt Walsh, ⁢host of ⁢the‍ Daily Wire⁣ podcast, tweeted, “Yes, what​ if ‍you’re ⁤going through the wrong puberty? Also,⁣ what if⁢ you ​have ⁣the‌ wrong liver or ‍the​ wrong ⁢left kneecap? ⁢What if you have the ‍wrong eye ⁣color? ⁣What if​ you have ‍the wrong DNA? ‍These ​and⁢ many‌ other questions ⁢make sense if ⁤you’re a delusional schizophrenic.”
