卫生与公众服务部在政府停摆期间更改了瑞秋·莱文博士的肖像名，理由是“生物现实”，引发了反对，视为跨性别权利倒退。 The HHS changed Dr. Rachel Levine's portrait name during the shutdown, citing "biological reality," sparking backlash as a transgender rights rollback.

在政府关闭期间,卫生与公众服务部更改了Rachel L. Levine博士的官方肖像,Rachel L. Levine博士是第一位公开被参议院确认担任高级联邦保健职务的变性人,她以以前的名字取代了目前的法律名称。 During the government shutdown, the Department of Health and Human Services changed the official portrait of Dr. Rachel L. Levine, the first openly transgender person confirmed by the Senate for a high-level federal health role, by replacing her current legal name with a previous name. 这项改变得到HHS发言人的证实,归因于对“生物现实”的承诺,并扭转了先前的政策。 The alteration, confirmed by an HHS spokesperson, was attributed to a commitment to "biological reality" and reversing prior policies. 批评者,包括前同事和现任工作人员,称这一举动不尊重他人,是一种消除行为,这是新政府下限制跨联邦机构变性人权利的更广泛努力的一部分。 Critics, including former colleagues and current staff, called the move disrespectful and an act of erasure, part of broader efforts under the new administration to restrict transgender rights across federal agencies. Levine领导关于大流行病应对、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、梅毒和类阿片的公共卫生倡议,拒绝发表评论,称这项行动微不足道。 Levine, who led public health initiatives on pandemic response, HIV/AIDS, syphilis, and opioids, declined to comment, calling the action petty. 肖像留在华盛顿特区汉弗莱大楼 The portrait remains in the Humphrey Building in Washington, D.C.
