One of President Joe Biden’s top health nominees on Thursday was pressed about stating in the past support for children getting puberty blockers and genital surgery.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) questioned Dr. Rachel Levine on the past support, noting that data from the American College of Pediatricians shows that 80 percent to 95 percent of children who believe they’re a gender different from their birth sex will see a dissolution of those feelings by late adolescence, if they’re not exposed to medical intervention and social affirmation.
