The Department of Health and Human Services, under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has removed the name “Rachel” from Adm. Rachel Levine’s official portrait, replacing it with her deadname and doing so beneath the mounted glass typically used for permanent institutional displays. Levine was the first transgender person confirmed by the U.S. Senate, something that took place under President Joe Biden.
