U.S. president-elect Joe Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his assistant secretary of health, leaving her poised to become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

A pediatrician and former Pennsylvania physician general, Levine was appointed to her current post by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf in 2017, making her one of the few transgender people serving in elected or appointed positions nationwide. She won past confirmation by the Republican-majority Pennsylvania Senate and has emerged as the public face of the state's response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden and his transition team have already begun negotiating with members of Congress, promoting speedy passage of the president-elect's $1.9 trillion plan to bring the coronavirus, which has killed nearly 400,000 people in the United States, under control.

Levine joins Biden's Health and Human Services secretary nominee Xavier Becerra, a Latino politician who rose from humble beginnings to serve in Congress and as California's attorney general.

Sick and ugly

This one actually looks like a woman 🤔

Careful what you say. Twitter authoritians will ban you for it.

Clown world

Anything to be woke. We’re in for a ride.

I made a canine the regional manager of my company. Get with the times.

Lmfao 🤪

Fuc%ing Hilarious

True equality. Nothing wrong with that.

Why emphasize a transgenders woman? Is that about her ability?

*Man

Well that will set the rednecks on a rampage tomorrow.

at first, i thought it Summit's Jenny.90DayFiance

With headlines like this, you literally are the problem. Who is she? what has she done? what is she going to do?

Holly shit

Last thing I need is advice from a dude dressed as a women on health. Lmfao

Did she get picked for being transgender or just happen to be transgender? Big difference.

Bravo JoeBiden !! 👏👏👏

As long as the person can do the job, who cares how they associate themselves

🤣

That's great. How many times do you think you need to repeat the same news over and over. How about doing some investigative journalism, look into the criminal activity of the liberals, especially Turdo... Oh wait, you have no one working for you that can do that. COPY CNN only

Fixed it

CTV pisses themselves with glee but glosses over any actual qualifications.

Cool. Hope he does a good job

The Virtue Party

Hey girl

Lucky guy

Welcome assistant health secretary! Warm wishes. ☺️

Yup, he's definatly got balls.

That is not a doctor

I just puked in my mouth!!

This is dangerous as we don’t want the advancement of puberty blockers for kids as a good idea. And why so damn fat?

She probably has a name, no?

Is she qualified? That is all that should matter.

Lol

Who cares? As long as they can ethically do their job.

Biden picks Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine, who is transgender, to be his assistant secretary of health.

SHAME on you CTV for this article, I thought we had come a long way in Canada, but this article, along with an unflattering photo, shows me that CTV is not a progressive news source.

ZuraidahCTV This is the greatest new govmnt

Thank you JoeBiden !

Homophobic crowds are here

Sooo, obvious mental health issues. Maybe not best choice.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

No, he picked the person responsible for seniors deaths in nursing home of Pennsylvania, but pulled out own mother out before the slaughter started

He/ she looks funny😆 can she or he be taken seriously.

So, if we’re not supposed to care about gender or mention it, WHY is it ALWAYS brought up by the media and the “woke” crowd?

Honestly... What does being tranny have anything to do with her qualifications Who gives a rats-a$$ what her orientation is if she shows up to work everyday and successfully does her job.

The majority of people are moving away from identity politics, time for the media to catch up.

Who cares what there personal preferences are? As long they are the best qualified for the position.

haha get ready folks for this ride

What a copycat

Ah yes the 'woman' from PA who took her parent out of a care home immediately before packing it with covid positive patients.

wtf...why do we need to know that.....why not just tell us he hired a health secretary.......just as ugly as tam.

Whose business is it to examine this person's sexual identity? Who snoops under their bed covers? Who examines their pants panties? Who sniffs their unmentionables? You fucks have reached a new low. Ctv .🇨🇦⚓

Why must she be recognized as transgender? If she had been a normal man or woman would the title be,'Man got picked for assistant health secretary?' Everyone is normal so why put a category on anyone?

China’s going to invade

ok

Do they choose people for positions to keep things fair or do they choose positions out of character and your ability to do the job. I’ve seen to many incompetent people chosen for jobs just because of their gender or race and not on their ability to do the job correctly.

Holy crap! He's already out Justin'ed Justin! Because it's the current year,lol. Look at that dude, lol. Ugly as shit no matter which gender he picks 😂

Interesting office conversation? Are we picking people that have the proper qualifications for the job? Or are we picking the person that ticks all the social media boxes?

The only thing that should be of importance is? Does the person no their information.

This guys again....

Does she not have a name? Or is that the most important thing about her that the public needs to know?

Mass murderer.

staceybrotzel I can't help but think of Independence Day

And this was done in Canada, transgender health minister a complete disaster!

Can be a “Martian” as long as qualified and competent!

So he appointed a man

It's she not the same person saying, LTC homes were safe, then takes her mother out of one. If so, she's the perfect fit.

Qualifications we hope was the major reason

And this is newsworthy...why? To make a point? To single this individual out? Why? Because the world needs to know?

You’re the craziest virtu signaller on the planet Justin, Joe....hold my drink!

Yes very qualified and the best person for the job, although I do see a resemblance

Nice. As long as they are qualified who cares.

🙄

You can’t make this stuff up anymore.

Of course he would lol!!

Can they do the job...or did they pick that person for their title.

Looks like this person (regardless of 'gender') is a beautiful example of human health... clearly knows a lot about the human body and how to take care of it. 🤡

🙄🙄

It's everyone's favourite Liberal MP, Adam Vaughan!

What the hell! Some men have no balls anymore. Biden is such a 😺

Diversity is key to being successful, so long as they have the qualifications to do the job correctly!

That’s Dr Rachel Levine of Pennsylvania, an extremely qualified public health professional who saved and continues to save an otherwise ungrateful state that continues to dehumanize her. But go off.

Ok. But what are her credentials I’m getting sick of putting people in places for this or that reason.... do they have the education and knowledge

Of course he did. Its not like anyone in that entire party has any sense of identity. Let alone any sense of themselves. Makes sense......oh right its diversity...

Was is the Best person for the job?

And CTV will prove they know it’s the 21st century when a person is given the dignity of having their name and credentials in the headline..., not their gender! But as always CTV..., you do you.

Why do you never hear headlines like “ Biden picks qualified person for position”? Hmmmmm maybe because filling that spot is the message. Wake up people. Politicians lie, bend and hide the truths. This is perfect evidence open your eyes!

Thats cool and all, good for her. i just hope shes one of the reasonable trans people, not the 'sex isnt real, lets transition gay kids' type.

If anyone is likely to face barriers, bias,, stigma, injustice in health care systems it’s transgender folks in my experience. This is radical. Skilled & experienced professional and sensitive to the reality of minorities in the delivery of health care. Bravo JoeBiden

Wait a second. How can transgender be a woman I'm so confused.

I wonder if he will hire Jennifer Yaniv for a position in his administration too.

I think many are missing the bigger picture here...inclusion for all. It is important to include her being transgender so that the message is clear, no phobias will be tolerated.

As long as Ms. Levine is the best person for the job.

lol

Best person available for the job

What the f:$&) gender has to do with the job? Is she good or not?

🤣🤣

Cuz Canada can’t be the only country with a trans health minister..

Nice. Good for her. But can we at least get her name

Lol))) mentally sick person will work at health department!

Disgusting

You knows actually putting her name in the article title would be nice too. Jus sayin

And

Yikes is she pretty at least

It doesn't matter what are you you can be with one arm or fat you can be what ever you are as long as you can do the job, this world will not get better as long as we keep putting labels on people for fuck sake when are we going to change.

a jew transgender
