NEW: HHS Admiral Brian Christine just dropped an unprecedented bombshell.
In an extraordinary statement, he says the Biden Administration — and Rachel Levine specifically — “manipulated and betrayed vulnerable families” on the medical treatment of gender-distressed children.
Christine cites a 400-page, peer-reviewed review showing:
• Puberty blockers
• Cross-sex hormones
• Irreversible surgeries…are all linked to infertility, loss of sexual function, reduced bone density, metabolic and cognitive impacts, and lifelong physical and emotional scarring.
He says these procedures were promoted to parents as “care,” when the evidence base was weak, politicized, or misleading.
Christine’s message is blunt: Children deserved honesty. Families deserved truth. They got ideology instead.
He says the Trump Administration is shifting to:
• Evidence-based care
• Radical transparency
• Mental-health-first approaches
• The same direction taken by the U.K., Sweden, Finland and other nations that have reversed course
And he makes a direct promise:
“We will never abandon you.” This is one of the most consequential statements ever delivered by a sitting HHS official — and it will reshape the national debate.
