The top U.S. transgender official visits health care providers and an LGBTQ youth drop-in center in Mass. to discuss impact of recent harassment and threats and federal help.
Levine is in Massachusetts for two days, speaking to health care providers and trans youth who’ve become the target of attacks to ask about the impact of the threats and harassment on their lives and care. Levine toured a drop-in center on Wednesday for LGBTQ youth, run by BAGLY, the Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth.
“Right now, gender affirmation treatment for youth is the tip of the spear of the culture wars,” said Levine, the U.S. assistant secretary for health. “Make no mistake, this is politically motivated to be used as a wedge issue in the election and it is egregious because it is putting at risk the physical and mental health of very vulnerable youth and their families.”
