Flashback: Rachel Levine Tells Pediatricians They Need To Become Activists for Transgender Care for Minors

EXCERPT:

LEVINE: “So I encourage all of you to think of yourselves as ambassadors to your communities. Ambassadors for science, ambassadors for compassion, and ambassadors for care. These conversations don’t have to be limited or restricted to a medical setting. Offer yourselves as informational resources, not just for youth, but for school teachers, principals, school boards, professional organizations, recreation centers, county commissioners, and others who would benefit from this information and your perspective. Please proactively seek opportunities to speak about what you know. Our task is to educate the public in as many forums as possible. We need to have these conversations that question the assumptions that are underlying today’s attacks on trans people.”
