Joe Biden, who for the first 65 or 70 years of his life showed no interest in trans issues, and never hinted at a belief that biological males can be women if they feel like they are, has now become, after just one day in office, the most radically pro-trans president in history. At the ripe old age of 78, Biden is governing much like a 19-year-old college student who just took her first gender studies class might.
Biden made his first pro-trans step before he took office, naming Rachel Levine, the current Health Secretary of Pennsylvania, as his assistant Health and Human Services secretary. Levine is a biological male who identifies as a woman. This, we are told, makes the pick “historic.” But what really makes it historic is that Levine is probably the first assistant Health and Human Services secretary to be appointed despite overseeing a disastrous pandemic response that resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly people. Pennsylvania was among the states that, early on, required nursing homes to accept patients who had previously tested positive for the virus.
