"Transgender medicine for youth and adults is medical care, it's mental healthcare, and it can be suicide prevention care. It should be available in every state in this country. The laws and actions taken by many states have nothing to do with medicine. It is really politically and ideologically motivated against vulnerable transgender youth, their families, and their medical providers."  —Admiral Rachel Levine, MD

I have admired her and her efforts since i first saw her speak at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital shortly after she was made head of that states medical service.  I only had several years of transition behind me and her speech, while not directed for our community, was such a powerful confirmation. 

This interview is quite powerful!

Thank you for sharing it Carolyn Marie

Not said is that the anti-Trans care legislation is aimed as a weapon of revenge against the political party who elected Pres. Obama, which appoints LGBT Cabinet Members and supports Trans equality openly.  "Iffen thems afir it, I's agin it by dammy."   I admire her leadership and presence on behalf of our needs. 

[Carolyn Marie]

She is one who won't back down in the face of bullying, unfairness and unscientific gobbledygook.  She is not cowed by political gamesmanship by the right wing know-nothings on Capitol Hill.
