Rear Admiral Rachel Levine opens WPATH Conference: "This is a call to action"

Montreal -- The oxymoronic-named World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) kicked off its 27th annual conference on Saturday with US Navy Rear Adm. Rachel Levine.

Levine, is a man who suffers from gender dysphoria and thinks he's a woman, and he is also the assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Levine's speech sounded like a Marxist "call to action" which is strange coming from an address to medical professionals.  He actually called on the audience to think of themselves as “ambassadors for science” and insisted on a “proactive” rather than “passive” approach to educating the masses. 

“Our task quite simply is to educate the public in the United States and throughout the world, in as many forms as possible,” Levine proclaimed. “We have the power to expand the boundaries of science and of public understanding.”

Levine's manifesto sounds like a way to justify his own psychological issues and perhaps those in the audience. 

The president of WPATH, Dr. Walter Bouman, and president-elect Dr. Marci Bowers, led the opening ceremony with a few words before they were interrupted by a group of activists who took over the podium with a banner and a prepared speech: “We’re just going to crash the party, no offense to anybody meant,” said one activist, while several others raised the banner. WPATH officials cut off the feed to their livestream for several minutes during the unplanned demonstration.

The livestream commenced as the activists were listing their demands, which included “Adoption of the Standards of Care, free of psychomedical barriers, and entirely based on autonomy and informed consent,” as one “transfeminine” activist read aloud to an approving, mentally ill audience. “We want free access to all trans-affirmative care,” they continued, as the conference attendees cheered. Bouman and Bowers stood by, nodding their heads in approval of the interruption and the Communist demands of taxpayers footing their bills.

The activists also demanded universal medical coverage for trans-identifying immigrants, regardless of immigration status, and an end to the “criminalization of sex work.” 

Their last unfathomable request was for the “recognition of transfeminicide as an international humanitarian crisis,” for which the conference attendees gave a standing ovation for something that is as unreal as the gender a transgender person claims to be when their genitals don't correspond to their claim.

Dr. Marci Bowers, is a surgeon who specializes in genital mutilation of both sexes, and believes he is a woman. When the activists' speech ended, he  waltzed back up to the podium, whereupon he bragged about his appointment as the first “transfeminine person” to be elected President of WPATH in its 43-year history. He is also the guy Matt Walsh interviewed in his documentary "What is a Woman" and was unable to provide a scientific answer.

Levine took to the stage after a lengthy introduction from Bowers. “I truly stand on the shoulders of those who came before me,” said Levine. “As we all know, progress brings new and inevitable challenges.”

“I’ve heard from parent after parent, family after family, who have either considered moving to different states in the United States or have moved so that their child can access the medical care they need and deserve,” began Levine. By medical care, he means having their possibly confused child, or gay child, agreeing to have their genitals cut off and replaced with a facsimile of genitals of the opposite sex.

“These stories are heartbreaking. It is critically important that medical decisions and the public pronouncements of them are based on science and human compassion rather than slander and stigmatization.”

Levine is wrong. The "science" is far from settled. What WPATH's new official guidelines refers to as "the science" has been scrutinized by The Society of Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) and they wrote a  critique in January 2022 citing the lack of scientific rigor and the possible harm due to very low-quality evidence.

WPATH says its guidelines were written “based on available evidence” but cite flawed, cherry-picked studies to support their self-serving conclusions. “The current description of the literature betrays a strong bias toward studies promoting social and medical transition,” says SEGM.

Levine falsely asserts that transgender youth don’t have underlying mental health issues that may be contributing to or causing their dysphoria. He claims that “It is the bullying, it is the harassment, the discrimination that transgender youth face that leads to these outcomes.”

“Gender-affirming care is medical care. Gender-affirming care is mental health care. Simply put, gender-affirming care is suicide prevention care,” Levine claims, but giving the surgery and  irreversible chemical castration medications involved in the procedures a nice sounding name doesn't change what it is.

These are children he speaks of--they are confused, somewhat stupid human beings at this stage of their development [and we love them] and we cannot allow them to make life altering decisions about their bodies.

It's freaking evil shrouded in lies. Levine claims so-called gender affirming care prevents suicide is a debunked claim that posits trans-identified minors are more likely to commit suicide if they are denied “gender affirming” medical treatments. 

When researchers compared “trans” youth to teens with similar mental health problems, but not including gender dysphoria, there was little difference in suicide rates, suggesting that withholding “gender affirming” care is not a driver of suicidal ideation.

“It is wrong to politicize medical care,” continued Levine, who then went on to advocate for the politicization of medicalized gender transition, with the full support of the Biden administration. He says laws that prevent kids from accessing irreversible medical procedures is "anti-LGBTQ policies" and thus he added, “So I have a call to action. This is a call to action for all of you. I firmly believe that as a society, we have not made progress unless we have made progress for all.”
