Twitter has decided it would be in the public’s best interest to keep a tweet from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on its website after he called U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine a man.

Levine, who was named one of USA Today’s Women of the Year, is transgender and a four-star admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.

USA Today’s list also includes Olympic athlete Simone Biles and Dallas-born former Microsoft computer scientist Melinda French Gates. S

7. Banned from updating, not banned from Twitter

Once they delete the offending tweet, they can tweet again. They claim they won't be deleting it. So they're effectively banned.

how is this felon still walking the streets as free man?

11. Texas Attorney General Attacks Nation's Highest-Ranking Openly Transgender Official

Paxton is an asshole

Link to tweet

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, waist-deep in ethical controversies, tweeted out his transphobia on Thursday morning by intentionally misgendering the nation’s highest-ranking openly transgender official.

USA Today had named Dr. Rachel Levine one of its Women of the Year on Sunday for her role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Levine, nominated by President Joe Biden, serves as assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services and leads a group of 6,000 uniformed public health officers. The trained pediatrician was sworn in as a four-star admiral of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps in October, becoming just the sixth person to receive the honor in the corps’ history.

Levine is also the first female and openly transgender four-star admiral — a milestone celebrated by civil rights groups, LGBTQ activists and USA Today.

“I think you have to be true to yourself and I think that you have to be who you are,” Levine told the outlet. “You have tremendous worth just for who you are, no matter who you love, no matter who you are, no matter what your gender identity, sexual orientation or anything else, and to be, be true to that. And then everything else will follow.”
