       The #US’ new top #health diplomat, #BethanyKozma, has strong opinions on #abortion & #genderThe job she took on this week—leading #HHS’ Office of Global Affairs—does not have a high profile. And Kozma is not a familiar name in the world of #PublicHealth.But it’s a position with power—& Kozma has a record of public statements & activism on health issues, equating abortion with "murder" & campaigning against #GenderAffirmingCare.#law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights https://www.npr.org/sections/goats-and-soda/2025/12/19/g-s1-102765/americas-new-top-health-diplomat-has-strong-opinions-on-abortion-and-gender

       The office is sometimes referred to as the "diplomatic voice" of #HHS. As director, Kozma will have considerable influence over how the #US shapes #health policy in other countries in the wake of the #Trump administration's foreign #aid cuts & withdrawal from the #WHO.#law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #HumanRights #health #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation

       Kozma declined to be interviewed for this story. She doesn't appear to have a background in global #health based on publicly available information online. The #HHS website offers few details about her professional profile. In response to questions about her qualifications & vision for the role, HHS responded with this statement..#law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #HumanRights #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation

       Kozma began her career in public service during the George W. Bush admin, working at the White House #HomelandSecurity Council. During the Obama years, she re-entered public life as an activist.In a 2016 commentary for The Daily Signal, a conservative website founded by the #HeritageFoundation, she argued against the #Obama admin's guidance that public schools should allow children to use the bathroom that comports with their #identity.#law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #privacy #health

       "This radical agenda of subjective 'gender fluidity' & unrestricted shower & bathroom access actually endangers all," she stated, noting that "predators" could abuse the policy.In 2017, she joined the #Trump admin as senior adviser for Gender Equality & Women's Empowerment in the #USAID, eventually being promoted to deputy chief of staff.#law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #HumanRights #health #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation

       In videos obtained & released by ProPublica, Kozma recalls calling the #US a "pro-life" country in a closed-door #UN meeting about women's rights in 2018, when access to #abortion was still protected nationally by #RoeVWade.#Trump #law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #HumanRights #health #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation https://www.propublica.org/article/video-project-2025-presidential-training-academy-trump-election

       In August 2020, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del, & 4 other Democratic senators issued a letter labeling Kozma & several other political appointees at #USAID as "prejudiced" & called for them to be removed from their posts. Kozma has "spoken extensively & derisively of #trans people & trans issues," the senators wrote.#Trump #law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #HumanRights #health #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation

       During the Biden admin, she was also involved in #Project2025, the #HeritageFoundation's "blueprint" for a new Republican admin. She played a prominent role in Project 2025 training videos, obtained & published by ProPublica.#Trump #law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #HumanRights #health #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation

       In one nearly 50-minute training video focused on left-wing language, she called for a Republican admin to "eradicate '#ClimateChange' references from absolutely everywhere," & said that concerns over climate change are efforts at "population control." She also called #GenderAffirmingCare "absolutely infuriating" & said "the idea that gender is fluid is evil." Overall, she argued that changing language around these policies should be a priority for political appointees.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob2nmb97OkY

       Kozma joined the 2nd #Trump admin as a chief adviser at the #HHS Office of Global Affairs. In Sept, she spoke at a #UN event commemorating the 30th anniversary of the declaration that denying #WomensRights is a #HumanRights violation.#law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #health #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation

       "While many may celebrate so-called successes gained for women over the last 30 years, one must ask what defines true success for women?" she began, adding that "biological reality is rooted in scientific truth & is confirmed by the universal truths that we are endowed by our Creator who made us 'male & female.'"#Trump #law #ReproductiveRights #TransRights #CivilRights #privacy #HumanRights #health #ChristianEvangelism #FarRight #NewApostolicReformation

       @Nonilex Trading off the certainty of youth suicides against the low risk of predators pretending to be trans. Obscene.

       @Nonilex I will NEVER understand how these people believe a girl or woman is not in danger from a man  walking into a bathroom, cornering them, and raping them. But, the danger level from a woman assigned as a male at birth is at 100%. The assertion is ridiculous.

       @Nonilex Just that occasional reminder that your 12-year-old niece has more to fear from her 55-year-old MAGA uncle at Thanksgiving than she does from *any* Trans person in *any* public restroom
