Trump officials have been accused of bigotry after the portrait of former President Joe Biden's transgender assistant secretary for health was altered to reflect her birth name.
Admiral Rachel Levine's portrait has hung in a hallway of the Humphrey Building in Washington DC - the Department of Health and Human Services's headquarters - since she became the first trans woman to win Senate confirmation in 2021.
Following the 68-year-old's four years of service under the Biden administration, her name was reverted to Richard Levine, the name she was given at birth.
Levine's dead name - a trans person's original name before transitioning - was typed out and placed under the framed picture of the former official, along with the dates she served in office.
'We remain committed to reversing harmful policies enacted by Levine and ensuring that biological reality guides our approach to public health,' Emily Hilliard, the HHS Department's press secretary, told the Daily Mail.
'Dr. Levine's time here will be looked upon as a sad footnote in the otherwise storied history of this department.'
Levine told NPR that she was grateful for having the opportunity to serve the American people and would not comment on this type of 'petty action.'
The portrait update allegedly occurred during the government shutdown, Adrian Shanker, Levine's spokesperson, said.

When he was Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Health, Levine ordered PA nursing homes to admit COVID patients. But first he removed his own mother from a nursing home. He knew what was going to happen.
Levine is a monster.

I can’t believe it! This will not stand!
They should have changed the name to Dick Levine.
He. The sicko is a HE!
Next name change Barack Obama to Barry Soetoro.
note the headline says, “quietly changed”.
Bill Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III

I will never accept that not affirming THAT as a woman would make me a bigot.

The Daily Fail is at it again.
It ain't a she
and never will be.
AKA, Climate Liars?
I’m embarrassed that this circus freak is from my home state, Pennsylvania.
They just man the oceanographic ships. None of them are computer modelers. They just see that data is taken, others get to lie about it.
Levine is not a woman, never was a woman, and never will be a woman.
Until we have armed spacecraft I find the idea of it being separate from the USAF to be ludicrous!
“it was never in the Navy, how ever did it get to be a Rear Admiral ?”
Once upon a time the OP would do research instead of admitting to ignorance.
Uh...
What a stupid perverted movie….
I regret I ever saw it.
