Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine said transgender youths need to be empowered to get “gender affirmation treatment” on MSNBC Monday.

Levine, who is transgender, said transgender youths are threatened by mental health issues, bullying and political attacks, and that treatment of these youths should affirm their perceived gender identity and empower them to get sex change treatments.

“So we really want to base ourtreatment and to affirm and tosupport and empower these youthnot to limit their participation in activities in sports and evenlimit their ability to getgender affirmation treatment intheir state,” Levine told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell.

Levine previously endorsed Biden’s June 15 executive order expanding access to sex change treatments for children and said there is no debate within the medical community about whether children who believe they are transgender should receive sex change treatments.

Sex changes, which Levine refers to as “gender affirmation treatments,” include socially transitioning to the opposite sex, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries.

“Trans youth are vulnerable.They suffer significantharassment and bullying,sometimes in schools or theircommunity,” Levine told Mitchell. “They have more mental healthissues, but there’s nothinginherent with being transgenderor gender diverse, which wouldpredispose youth to depressionor anxiety.It’s the harassment andbullying.”

“Now they are sufferingpolitically motivated attacksthrough state actions againstthese vulnerable transgenderyouth.This is not based upon data.These actions are politicallymotivated,” Levine said.
