HHS's Levine: Can't Limit 'Gender-Affirming Care' to Adults Because 'Puberty Is Hard' Especially if It's 'the Wrong' One

During a portion of an interview with ABC News aired on Thursday's broadcast of "Nightline," HHS Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Dr. Rachel Levine responded to a question on why people can't wait to undergo gender transition therapy until they're 18 by stating that  "Adolescence is hard, and puberty is hard. What if you're going through the wrong puberty?" And that's why people can't wait to receive "gender-affirming" care until they're 18.
