From Breitbart: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has reportedly made changes to the name under former President Joe Biden’s assistant secretary for health, who is a man living as a woman.
A hallway inside the Humphrey Building in Washington D.C. features portraits of federal officials who worked at HHS, and one of them is of Admiral Rachel Levine, NPR reported on Friday.
“Levine’s official portrait was recently altered, a spokesperson for HHS confirmed to NPR. A digital photograph of the portrait in the hallway obtained by NPR shows that Levine’s previous name is now typed below the portrait, under the glass of the frame,” the outlet said.
Levine, 68, is a biological man who was born as Richard Levine. He was previously married to a woman, and they had two children. Levine “transitioned” in 2011 to identify as female, and the couple divorced in 2013.
USA Today named Levine as “Woman of the Year” in 2022.
Levine is a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine. Prior to landing a role in the Biden administration, Levine served as the Pennsylvania physician general from 2015 to 2017 and as secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health from 2017 to 2021.
