Congressman Jim Banks, representing the state of Indiana in the Chamber of US Representatives, received a ban on Twitter for named Assistant Minister of Health USA Rachel Levin Men. This is reported by CBS News.
Last week, Levin was awarded to the highest general title. The Senate approved it as an Admiral of the Officer Corps of the US Public Health of the United States. American media file this as the first time when the title of “four-star” general received a woman.
Republican Banks disagree with such a look at this event. “The title of the first female four-year general took a man,” he wrote in his microblog, after which it was blocked. In the social network there are rules regarding transgender people: it is considered unacceptable to properly call them the “old” name (to the legal shift of Paul Levin called not Rachel, but Richardom) and to use them in their address are not the pronouns about which they are asked. Levin made a “transgender transition” aged 54 years.
In the American state apparatus, several women transgender people already have, they are present among European politicians. Women are promoted, born like men, and in professional sports. In September, the American Fighter Transgender and former Special Forces Alan Maclaflin held a debut fight in mixed martial arts (MMA) and defeated a rival with a suffocating reception.
