‘Moderate’ Joe Biden Just Elevated A Transgender Man Who Supports Child Mutilation By Maureen Mullarkey for The Federalist
By embracing transgenderism, doctors have abandoned patients to their symptoms, affirming distortions of reality instead of helping them see the truth.
A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, “You are mad; you are not like us.” — St. Antony the Great
A civilization in a death spiral can no longer maintain the moral demands that kept it alive. Neither can it tolerate an ability to see things as they are. Coherent authority shrinks. In “The Triumph of the Therapeutic,” Philip Rieff put it well: The dying order “demands less, permits more.” No longer able to distinguish between spectacle and reality, it substitutes one for the other.
Of all contemporary spectacles, none is a clearer “sign of the times” than the transgender delusion. By embracing and promoting it, the mental health profession abandoned troubled patients to their symptoms. Instead of guiding patients past their distortions, clinicians now affirm them.

Consider Dr. Rachel Levine. A transgender pediatrician and professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at Penn State College of Medicine, he was Pennsylvania’s state health director from 2015 to 2017. He has been confirmed as the assistant secretary of Health and Human Services in the Biden regime. Rachel is the synthetic replacement for the preceding Dr. Levine.
The first Dr. Levine was a married man with a son and daughter. In his 40s, he decided to go on a gender journey. Still married, he set out to deny the evidence of his genetic endowment: the inevitable Y chromosome in each of his 30-40 trillion cells, including some 86 billion neurons plus multiple times more glial cells.
Were Rachel Levine a private person, an obscure man suffering anonymously the anguish of self-loathing, he would elicit compassion and concern. Courtesy might move any one of us to assent to the counterfeit and address him as the woman he strains to be.
Levine, however, is not a nameless sufferer seeking relief from personal distress, only wanting to get on with his life. He is a public figure, the highest-ranking transgender official in the United States, and one with the capacity to affect the well-being of others — especially children.
