This FREAK, that has never served a day in the military (that I could find, even on Wiki), is now wearing/has the position of a senior officer (of the military)?
I am confused...

Dr. Rachel Levine is making more history.
Levine, the former Pennsylvania health secretary, was ceremonially sworn in Tuesday as a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps. Levine becomes the nation’s first openly transgender four-star officer across any of the uniformed services of the United States.
Earlier this year, President Joe Biden chose Levine to be the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health. She also became the top ranking officer of the USPHS Commissioned Corps, which includes 6,000 officers that serve vulnerable and underserved groups. She’s also the first female officer to lead the corps.
The USPHS Commissioned Corps helps deliver health care after emergencies and natural disasters and has been part of the effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The corps isn’t a military branch but it is one of eight uniformed services in the U.S. government and the only one focused on public health.
Levine, 63, said she was “humbled” to be the first openly transgender four-star office of a uniformed service.
“This is a momentous occasion and I am honored to take this role for the impact I can make, and for the historic nature of what it symbolizes,” Levine said Tuesday.
“May this appointment be the first of many like it as we create a more inclusive future.”
After her swearing in, Levine said she recognizes she takes the role to defend the nation’s public health as it faces the greatest health threat in modern times. She also said she is grateful for LGTBQ pioneers who paved the way.
“The time is now for our country to continue to move the bar forward for diversity and I am proud to wear this uniform and answer that call,” Levine said.
U.S. Surgeon General and Vice Admiral Vivek Murthy said in a statement he is “grateful to work alongside a kind, principled leader like Admiral Levine.”
“Her appointment represents an important step towards a more inclusive future, and her service will undoubtedly advance the USPHS Commissioned Corps’ mission to protect, promote, and advance the health and safety of our nation,” Murthy said.
Levine spent years leading Pennsylvania’s health department and gained a higher profile with her work coordinating the state’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden brought Levine into her high-ranking role in his administration in January. The U.S. Senate confirmed her nomination to the federal post in March.
In an interview with PennLive in August, Levine said she sees herself as an advocate.
“I specifically see myself as an advocate for health equity,” Levine said. “Although I now have different priorities in office, we still have COVID-19, we still have an overdose crisis, and we have health equity as part of the portfolio. That includes health equity for the LGTBQ+ community. Advocating for equality and fairness and health equity for LGBTQ+ people is part of my role.”
Alison Beam succeeded Levine and continues to serve as Pennsylvania’s acting health secretary.
Well at least “it” finally did something with that rat’s nest of hair!
She's had the operations and appears to be female.
There are NO transgenders, only guys with out their external plumbing.
Their chromosomes are the same as when they were conceived and later, born.
Your friend is a dickless guy, that was a fag/male until he got a gummint operation and pension.
He maybe "nice and a Trump supporter" but he is still a he. What is it about chromosomes, xx or xy that you don't understand?
Don't you believe in science?
S/OFF.
He can still be your bed buddy, but he is a he, about you, the jury is still out.
True
Or at least from Senate Armed Services Committee
How do they take out the stitches from the dick implant? Is it illegal for me to specify that after my death, my male body part may not be used for attachment to a DNA XX individual?
On sure, and the is Captain Pee Wee Herman and First Mate Tiny Tim. Maybe the yellow submarine is still available.
In their bodies, you are right, in their minds, you are wrong. We may not like it, but it is what it is.
Their chromosomes are the same as when they were conceived and later, born.
Of course. Your friend is a dickless guy, that was a fag/male until he got a gummint operation and pension.
He/she/it paid for his own. She was never a fag.
It is what it is, Of course the chromosomes are male, but mentally, it's a she.
Don't you believe in science?
Some, not the Fauci version.
S/OFF.
He can still be your bed buddy, but he is a he, about you, the jury is still out.
Now you just made yourself an asshole. An apology is in order. I am 100% male.
Used to be resumes had some relevant experience on them. “Openly transgender” doesn’t win any naval engagements.
Next...
Medal of Honor?
Nothing but a big F-You to the USA by the queer Biden Regime.
That little faggot’s got his own jet airplane...at taxpayer’s expense.
Ridiculous.
Next Biden will promote Fauci to godhood and make him an ‘eight star admiral’ or general..
Good one!
I was trying to come up with something like that for Milley a few weeks ago, but failed to make it work and rhyme at the same time.
Who misspelled Four Star Gendergal?
He's not necessarily gay, though, he just, like Shania Twain, feels like a woman.
He is still not a she. You can’t change DNA/chromosomes.
That’s a man with lipstick...period.
