The Trump administration has changed the name of the nation’s highest-ranking openly transgender official on her official portrait. Admiral Rachel Levine served for four years as President Biden’s assistant secretary for health and was the first transgender person to win Senate confirmation. Her official portrait was displayed at the federal Department of Health and Human Services building after she was confirmed in 2021. Recently, the Trump administration removed Levine’s name from her portrait and replaced it with her previous name.
