Right-wing elected officials continue to target transgender Americans through unhinged rhetoric, dangerous laws, and an onslaught of disinformation.

Far-right Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado is one of those elected officials. Most recently, she attacked Dr. Rachel Levine, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health and the highest-ranking openly trans official in United States history.


This week, Levine added another distinction to her list of achievements when she became the first transgender and first woman four-star admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

While many celebrated the milestone, Boebert used the moment to attack Levine and further promote the false idea that trans women aren't real women, and the deadly position that trans people's existence alone is a political stance threatening to tear apart the fabric of American society.

Boebert shared a picture of Levine with the caption, "Welcome to woke medicine, America."

Unlike Boebert, who owns a gun-themed restaurant and had never held elected office before her time in Congress, Levine has a litany of qualifications that make her a good fit for her current roles in public health.

Democratic Congressman Don Beyer of Virginia was quick to remind Boebert of this, calling the Congresswoman a "hateful bigot" after listing Levine's resumé.


People cheered Beyer's response.


Beyer wasn't the only one to push back against Boebert's bigotry.





Sadly, Boebert's tweet gave conservative social media users yet another outlet to spew the same transphobia and hate that endangers countless trans people every day.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
