"Christineâs nomination has already sparked an outcry from advocates who accuse him of hypocrisy and political opportunism. His views conflict with the ethos of gender-affirming care."
"In a recent statement released through the White House, Christine insisted: 'I have never treated transgender 'men' for sexual dysfunction, either with medication or surgery.'"
President Trump has nominated Brian Christine, an Alabama urologist with a controversial stance on transgender issues, to serve as the assistant secretary for health at HHS. This nomination, which requires Senate confirmation, follows Trump's ongoing efforts to roll back LGBTQ+ rights. Advocates have criticized Christine for hypocrisy, given his past statements against gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Despite his opposition to such care, Christine claims he has never treated transgender patients, raising concerns among LGBTQ+ advocates about his suitability for the position.
