.HHS_ASH Rachel Levine sought studies favoring gender transitions for minors, email shows
Dr. Rachel Levine, the assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services, requested research favoring allowing minors to undergo gender transition surgeries, such as double mastectomies, in 2017 from a doctor at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
In her response, Dowshen, who helps run the hospital's clinic that"offers psychosocial and medical support for gender variant, gender expansive, and transgender children and youth up to age 21," acknowledged that the surgeries were happening at the hospital but did not know of any research available in 2017.
That same year, Levine and Dowshen were both involved in efforts opposing a Pennsylvania state bill that would have prohibited Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program from covering transition-related services, including gender transition surgery, in the state. The bill was later rejected by the state legislature.
