Republican Senator Rand Paul has criticised one of President Joe Biden’s health nominees for her support of gender-confirmation surgery and hormone therapy for minors.

Dr Rachel Levine, the Pennsylvania secretary of health and Mr Biden’s pick for assistant secretary of health if confirmed by the Senate, faced a line of questioning from senators on Thursday during her confirmation hearing.

During his questioning, Mr Paul compared children taking hormones or undergoing gender-confirmation surgery to genital mutilation. Genital mutilation, which is condemned by public health organisations like the World Health Organisation (WHO), is the act of removing some or all of the external female genitalia for no medical purpose.

“American culture is now normalising the idea that minors can be given hormones to prevent their biological development of their secondary biological characteristic,” Mr Paul said.

Mr Paul went on to state that Dr Levine, who is a transgender woman, has supported minors taking hormone-blocking medication, even if their parents have expressed concerns about the transition.

“For most of our history, we have believed that minors don’t have full rights and that parents need to be involved,” Mr Paul continued. “We should be outraged that someone’s talking to a three-year-old about changing their sex.”

He then asked if Dr Levine believed minors are “capable of making life-changing decisions as changing one’s sex?”

Dr Levine sidestepped the question and instead answered the senator more broadly about transgender issues and their relation to the medical community.

“Transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field with robust research and standards of care that have been developed,” Dr Levine said. Then she added she would “be pleased” to answer questions about puberty blockers and transitioning in minors in the future if confirmed by the Senate.

But the answer did not satisfy the senator, who said she did not answer specifically answer if minors should be “making these momentous decisions”.

Dr Levine has previously publicly expressed her support for puberty blockers being used for minors, although she has not indicated if there should be a particular age a child should reach prior to accessing this medication.

Vanessa Lamers, the assistant director to the Public Health Foundation, condemned the Republican senator on Twitter for his line of questioning.

“No. @RandPaul. You absolutely cannot compare transgender medicine and hormone pills to genital mutilation. This is a disgusting line of questioning,” she wrote.

Senator Patty Murray, a Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate Health Committee, later praised Dr Levine for her responses and criticised Mr Paul’s line of questioning.

"It is really critical to me that our nominees be treated with respect and that our questions focus on their qualifications and the work ahead of us, rather than on ideological and harmful misrepresentations like those we heard from Senator Paul earlier," Ms Murray said.

Rand Paul is right.

Truth is very often disgusting.

I advise you to get over it, your revulsion to reality does not help anyone.

Thank God Paul has the guts to call out evil when he sees it. Thank God he called out this creature; this reincarnation of Dr. Goebbels.

Rand Paul committed the sin of stating that 2+2=4.

[TOP]

The most disturbing nominee/confirmation hearing yet-respectful necessary questions asked with no clear answers-if you can't run PA, you definitely shouldn't be in charge of the entire country...and most importantly... our children....
Has anyone else noticed Biden isn't picking the best people for the positions...he's simply picking one of each from the "diversity menu"....Quite possibly the worst cabinet in history....
"For God's sake".....
