Twitter censored a pair of Republican lawmakers after they called U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine a man.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) reacted to the announcement that Levine, who is transgender, would be appointed as the first female four-star officer to serve in public health service.
Greene tweeted, “A dude who lived the first 50 years of his life as a man isn’t the first female anything. China is laughing at us.”
The social media platform labeled her tweet as a violation of the “Twitter Rules about hateful conduct.” Still, Twitter explained it “has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible.”
Banks also voiced his frustration with the announcement, saying, “Calling someone that was born and lived as a man for 54 years the first ‘female’ four-star officer is an insult to every little girl who dreams of breaking glass ceilings one day.”
