Trans Official Rachel Levine Featured in Children’s Book on “Women Who Persisted”
The book is part of Chelsea Clinton’s children’s book series, “She Persisted.”
Transgender Biden administration official Rachel Levine is the subject of an upcoming children’s book on “women who persisted.”
Levine, assistant secretary for health to the Department of Health and Human Services, has made history as the first openly transgender federal official in a position that requires Senate confirmation and also became the first transgender four-star officer in uniform service after being appointed head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps by President Joe Biden in 2021.
However, Levine has been the subject of controversy on more than one occasion, including for being named the “first female” four-star admiral in the commissioned corps as well, a title which many argued was undeserved for a male admiral.
Nonetheless, the one-time husband and father of two will be included as the latest woman highlighted by the series, which is based on Chelsea Clinton’s book “She Persisted.”
The upcoming installment that centers on Levine comes with an introduction from the former First Daughter, who is of course the only child of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
“She Persisted: Rachel Levine” will be available on June 8.
The publisher’s description notes that Levine has “faced many obstacles throughout her life,” but that “she persisted through them all and showed kids of all genders that they can succeed in their dreams too.”
The book also comes with a “list of ways that readers can follow in Rachel Levine’s footsteps and make a difference” and is described as the “perfect choice for kids who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women into their curriculum.”
Levine was also named among USA Today’s “Women of the Year” in 2021, a story that was the subject of tweets contributing to Twitter bans for both The Babylon Bee and The Christian Post, which had each respectively referred to the official as “a man.”
