福克斯新闻 左派人士抹黑参议员兰德·保罗(1)

Rachel Levine, that's Biden pic to be one of the top assistant secretaries at HHS was grilled¹ on Capitol Hill yesterday. But it was one exchange that caused a firestorm. Dr. Levine, you have supported both allowing minors² to be given hormone³ blockers to prevent them from going through puberty, as well as surgical⁴ destruction of a minor's genitalium. Like surgical mutilation hormonal⁵ interruption of puberty can permanently⁶ alter and prevent secondary sexual characteristics. The American College of Pediatricians reports that 80 percent to 95 percent of pre-pubertal children with gender⁷ dysphoria will experience resolution by late adolescence⁸, if not exposed to medical intervention⁹ and social affirmation. Dr. Levine, do you believe that minors are capable of making such a life changing decision is changing one sex? Well, Senator, thank you for your interest in this question. Transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field.

蕾切尔·莱文昨天在国会山被严厉询问，她是拜登提名为美国卫生和公众服务部的高级助理秘书之一。但有一次交流引起了一场风暴。莱文医生，你既支持给未成年人注射激素阻滞剂以阻止他们进入青春期，也支持对未成年人生殖器进行手术性破坏。像外科手术切除术一样，青春期荷尔蒙的中断可以永久性地改变和阻止第二性征。ACPED报告称，如果不接受医疗干预和社会肯定，80%到95%的青春期前患有性别焦虑症的儿童会在青春期后期得到解决。莱文医生，你认为未成年人有能力做出这样一个改变生活的决定，那就是改变一个性别吗？参议员，谢谢你关心这个问题。变性医学是一个非常复杂和微妙的领域。

Let's be a little more specific since you evaded¹⁰ the question. Do you support the government intervening to override¹¹ the parent's consent to give a child puberty blockers, cross sex hormones¹² and or amputation¹³ surgery of breasts and genitalia? If confirmed to the position of Assistant Secretary of Health, I would certainly be pleased to come to your office and to talk with you and your staff about the standards of care and the complexity¹⁴ of this field. Let it go into the record that the witness refused to answer the question. I find it ironic¹⁵ that the left that went nuts over hydroxy chloroquine being used possibly for COVID are not alarmed that these hormones are being used off label. Now, for that perfectly¹⁶ reasonable logical, scientifically accurate line of questioning. Senator Rand Paul became public enemy number one over at the other cable.

既然你回避了这个问题，那就说得更具体一点。你支持政府干预，否决“父母同意给孩子荷尔蒙阻断剂、跨性别荷尔蒙和乳房及生殖器切除手术”的观点吗？如果我担任卫生部助理部长一职，我当然很高兴来到你的办公室，与你和你的工作人员谈谈护理标准和这一领域的复杂性。把证人拒绝回答这个问题的事实记录下来吧。具有讽刺意味的是，在听到羟氯喹或可被用作治疗新冠肺炎一事时，左派人士气得发疯，不用惊慌，这些荷尔蒙是标示外用药。现在，为了那完全合理的、合乎逻辑的科学准确的提问。参议员兰德·保罗在另一个节目中成了头号公敌。
