Rachel Levine Is a Man

A century in the past, American girls fought for the suitable to take part in our nation’s consultant democracy alongside males.

Right now, American girls are preventing for the suitable to easily be acknowledged as distinct from males.

Let’s pray that this second motion is as profitable as the primary.

Two Republican members of Congress discovered themselves censored on Twitter final week for stating a easy organic reality about Dr. Rachel Levine, the primary brazenly transgender nominee to be confirmed by the Senate to a federal place as President Joe Biden’s Well being and Human Providers Assistant Secretary and, now, the primary brazenly transgender four-star officer to serve in any of the nation’s uniformed providers.

Biden announced last week that Levine had been appointed a four-star admiral of the U.S. Public Well being Service Commissioned Corps and america’ “first-ever feminine four-star admiral.”

As you will have pieced it collectively by now (and if not, don’t really feel unhealthy, it’s sheer confusion throughout), Levine is transgender, which implies that he — sure, he — is a person, and thus, not the primary feminine something, a lot much less the primary feminine admiral within the USPHSCC.

Levine lived the primary 40 years of his life as a person, and whereas he has lengthy hair, a most popular pronoun, and, based on Reuters, has undergone “intercourse reassignment surgical procedure” to persuade his physique to align along with his interior “gender id.” The authorized world, the mainstream media, and modern American tradition would possibly faux he’s a lady, however the pesky Y chromosome written into his DNA when he was hand-crafted in his mom’s womb by the creator of the universe actually signifies in any other case.

So whereas anybody can agree that, as a person making an attempt to dwell his life as a lady he actually qualifies as the primary transgender four-star admiral of a department of the uniformed providers that hardly anybody ever thinks about, it’s little doubt wildly offensive to all of the precise girls within the Public Well being Service Commissioned Corps who would possibly qualify for this adorned workplace that he’s being known as the “first-ever feminine four-star admiral.”

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Jim Banks of Indiana agreed.

After all, it’s harmful to agree {that a} man merely can’t be a lady lately, and whereas Greene and Banks are actually completely accustomed to controversy and censorship, this earned them fast retribution on social media.

Banks’ offending tweet learn, “the title of first feminine four-star officer will get taken by a person,” which The Post Millennial famous, was thought of a violation of Twitter’s coverage that customers could not “promote violence in opposition to, threaten, or harass different folks on the idea of race, ethnicity, nationwide origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender id, spiritual affiliation, age, incapacity, or severe illness.”

Banks was suspended from his account, as The Associated Press reported.

A discover underneath the tweet on Banks’ account reads “This tweet is now not accessible.” Nevertheless, one other Twitter put up commenting on Levine’s promotion Wednesday stays up, and will get the identical level throughout.

Calling somebody that was born and lived as a person for 54 years the primary “feminine” four-star officer is an insult to each little woman who desires of breaking glass ceilings in the future. https://t.co/bHKmJbE6cA

The congresswoman was knowledgeable that her tweet “violated the Twitter Rules about hateful conduct. Nevertheless, Twitter has decided that it could be within the public’s curiosity for the Tweet to stay accessible.”

Greene has not been suspended. The Post Millennial notes that the tweet remained up as a result of Twitter’s coverage on accounts belonging to public officers.

Nevertheless, her tweet had sharing restrictions positioned on it, as Newsbusters reported. It’s a much less extreme type of censorship than Banks’ suspension, but it surely’s censorship nonetheless.

Let’s get right down to brass tacks right here — these elected members of Congress had been censored as a result of gender idea is based on a lie, and nothing is extra harmful to a fallacious philosophy than those that communicate the reality.

Nothing concerning the leftists’ philosophy immediately is sensible. They declare to be the get together of girls, however they solely appear to think about girls’s empowerment to be empowering them to do something males historically do — as if the normal work of creating a house and elevating a household, one of the crucial vital vocations on the earth, is by some means inferior.

They declare to assist feminism, however all of the efforts over the past century to offer areas for ladies in sports activities have gone fully out the window now that extra males who claim to be women need to compete in opposition to girls.

They declare to care about “equal rights” for all, but don’t even shield the equal rights of people within the womb and continually clamor to drive Individuals into an intersectional caste system during which dissidents are inferior, second-class residents.

The chorus of the fictional dictatorial regime in George Orwell’s 1984, “Conflict is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is energy,” has by no means been extra consultant of the real-life powers that be in immediately’s twisted world.

I earnestly sympathize with those that battle with gender dysphoria, and I feel it’s an egregious failure on the a part of society as a complete that these people have been weaponized in one of the crucial weird and twisted cultural actions the world has ever recognized, quite than offered with compassionate care that doesn’t contain dramatic medical alterations of the our bodies God gave them.

This isn’t about them — that is concerning the very nature of fact and the flexibility to talk it.

It’s considerably extra harmful to state a easy reality — “Rachel Levine isn’t feminine” — than it’s to associate with the lie — that “Rachel Levine is a lady.”

It doesn’t matter should you consider that Levine is made within the picture of God and deserving of his most elementary human rights. In the event you consider that his most elementary human rights don’t embody the suitable to be considered one thing he’s not by all different members of society — it doesn’t matter what their private convictions are — you’re a thought felony and should be silenced.

And that, finally, is the scariest half. It’s one factor for others to dismiss us as bigots — it’s fairly one other to insist we wouldn’t have a proper to talk this harmful fact.

Their demand for our silence speaks volumes.
