After weeks of dismal news for Democrats, from the courts, from the economy, and most

of all from public opinion polls, the American Left has decided that the best way to turn

their bad luck around and salvage the midterm elections is to put a transvestite bureaucrat

on television to demand that parents trans their little kids.

Gender-affirming care is life-saving, medically necessary, age-appropriate, and a critical

tool for healthcare providers.

As a pediatrician, when it comes to making sure kids are healthy and happy, I know how important

care that affirmed someone's true identity can be.

I feel sorry for Richard Levine, that guy.

I'm not being facetious when I say that I truly feel sorry for him.

He's obviously a tortured and extremely confused man, and he's being encouraged by powerful

people in his delusions.

Until recently, I felt sorry for Mr. Levine in the same way that I feel sorry for all sick

people, pure pivvy.

Recently that has begun to change.

I still feel sorry for him, but I am beginning to feel sorry for him in the way that I feel

sorry for a criminal.

I feel genuine sorrow for criminals, even though they do evil things.

I feel sorry for criminals precisely because they do evil things, because they are harming

themselves and others and leading bad lives.

But I also want to stop them from doing what they are doing because they are hurting

other people too.
