It's unclear whether the decision was linked to his controversial social-media posts, what the timing of his departure was, and whether he was fired or chose to exit.The actor <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/general-hospital-ingo-rademacher-exit-soap-transphobic-tweet-nancy-lee-grahn/">faced backlash from "General Hospital" castmates</a> over the weekend after sharing to his Instagram story a tweet from conservative podcast host Allie Beth Stuckey that referred to Levine, who was appointed by President Joe Biden earlier this year, a "dude."In a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CWBcbIEDwmM/">post to Instagram on Monday addressing the criticism</a>, Rademacher said he didn't have time to comment on his "General Hospital" status but said he would update his followers soon.Rademacher said in his 3-minute video on Monday addressing the controversy that he should've crossed out the word "dude" in the post and replaced it with "<keyword id="11918053" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="transgender" source="Orion">transgender</keyword>," rejecting claims that he was transphobic. "While it's not okay to call a Black woman a white supremacist, I don't think either that it's okay to call a transgender an empowered woman, because where does that leave women?" Rademacher said."I do apologize again for not writing that correctly and taking that out because I wouldn't refer to a transgender person as a dude if they want to be called a she," he added. "That's totally fine."Levine is the <a href="https://www.insider.com/women-made-history-this-year-2021-3#in-october-dr-rachel-levine-became-the-first-female-and-first-openly-transgender-four-star-officer-in-the-us-public-health-service-commissioned-corps-21">first openly transgender four-star officer in the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps</a>. She is the highest-ranking transgender US official and was the first openly trans person to be confirmed by the US Senate, as Insider previously reported.<h2>'General Hospital' stars called out Rademacher's post over the weekend</h2>Cassandra James, who is a transgender woman and has played the role of Dr. Terry Randolph on "General Hospital" since 2018, appeared to reference Rademacher in a tweet, though she didn't call him out by name."I am aware of a transphobic post shared by a fellow General Hospital actor," <a href="https://twitter.com/cassandrajames_/status/1457532723438837762">she wrote Sunday</a>. "Shame on you. You have some serious unlearning and education to do. I feel deeply disappointed that such a public display of ignorance could come from our GH family.""Misgendering trans folks is violence and if you come for one of us, you come for all of us," she <a href="https://twitter.com/cassandrajames_/status/1457532724944654339">added</a>.As part of his video response on Monday, Rademacher addressed James directly."Cassandra, I apologize to you as well sincerely," he said. "I think you're an absolute talent and you're very beautiful as well. I don't think a transphobic man would say that. I think you're absolutely gorgeous."At the end of his Instagram video post Monday, he added he once bought his 3-year-old son a "Disney princess dress" and allowed him to wear it with high heels, a tiara, and a wand."I don't think a transphobic dad would buy his dad a Disney princess dress," he said. "So, there you have it."Nancy Lee Grahn, who has played Alexis Davis on the soap since 1996, also criticized Rademacher in a tweet and first shared the news he was no longer a "General Hospital" castmember. "The fellow actor, #IngoRademacher, is mercifully no longer a part of the #gh cast," she said.

Rademacher has staunchly opposed any effort to require COVID-19 vaccinations. "If we don't send a strong message to the Biden administration to reverse course immediately where do you think this ends guys?" he wrote in a Sunday Instagram post, <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/general-hospital-ingo-rademacher-exit-soap-transphobic-tweet-nancy-lee-grahn/">according to The Wrap</a>. "With booster no. 25? Nope. Vaccine passports and more segregation is on its way right now. Wakey wakey."
