The Navy's appointment of a non-binary drag queen as its first 'digital ambassador' has sparked fury, disbelief and mockery of the Department of Defense.
Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels, announced on TikTok in November that she would be the Navy's first 'digital ambassador,' highlighting her journey from performing on board beginning in 2018 and growing to become an 'advocate' for those who 'were oppressed for years in the service.'
On her new deleted Instagram page, she listed her pronouns as 'she/her' but also called herself non-binary.
While Kelley's appointment is not new, and she is not the only digital ambassador (she is one of five), her role has only recently attracted criticism.
Many have compared her to Dylan Mulvaney, the trans activist whose association with Bud Light sparked a PR crisis for the brand and sent sales plummeting.
Now, some veterans and conservatives are slamming the Navy for trying to solve a recruiting crisis by appointing a drag queen.
Kelley has a large following on TikTok where she has been sharing videos of her drag performances on-board Navy ships for years.

Does Iran have affirmative action for transgenders?
Only we (in the West) do insane stuff like that.
“Yeoman 2nd Class Joshua Kelley, whose stage name is Harpy Daniels”
Now! By Cracky that ought to throw the fear of the U.S. Navy at the Iranians & the Russian and especially the Chinese.
Yeoman 2nd Class, if memory serves is second class clerk typist
If I had a flagpole in my yard, I would go outside right now and fly the U S flag upside down and I would not take any crap off of anyone that didn’t like the display of our nation’s colors.
According to the U.S. Flag Code, flying the American flag upside down is only meant to be done “as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.”
And the bad news is that it will continue to get even worse. America passed from the "Republic" stage decades ago and the "Empire" stage we have been living in is giving way quickly to the "Decline and Fall" stage.
We're not going to vote our way out of this. It's too late.
“ If the Russians or Chinese landed an army I’d be tempted to view them as liberators”
Their governments may well be evil and corrupt (I don’t know, I don’t have first hand experience with them) but at least they appear to be comparatively sane on a social level. The United States is evil, corrupt and downright stark-raving-mad. Our society makes mega-city sewers look like the Garden of Eden.
The left isn’t wrecking the military. They are just repurposing it to fight a different enemy. You.
I am doing my part. When I talk to any teenage boy at family/friend gatherings, I tell them, “Whatever you do, don’t joint today’s military”. I know I have personally contributed to 3 young men deciding not to join.
It's not our Navy (or our government) any more, except in the sense that we're forced to pay for it.
This is recruitment for an enemy Navy. They protect the interests of a ruling class that makes money from mass murder, hates freedom, and hates *you*.
“ The leadership in this country is stark raving mad. Just insane. How in the world did we get to this so quickly?”
God moves very, very slowly. Then suddenly.
As I posted in the other thread, perhaps all the gay crap is why recruitment is down.
The Navy has been Dylan Mulvaneyed and is now a characterization of itself.
This will only embolden our enemies and cause them to accelerate plans to destroy us and our allies, Taiwan.
Transgenders are not accepted in Iran just as they are not accepted here in America. Even with the fatwa Komenei ordered.
I hope so
Who wasn't inspired by South Pacific?
“I never imagined anything like this would happen in our country...This is absolutely unbelievable....”
I just read C. Vann Woodward’s excellent book on the Battle for Leyte Gulf. He describes serious brave and cool men who fought with their heads and their hearts. The modern U.S. Navy seems to me like it has nothing whatsoever in common with their ancestor.
I do not know about Russia, but I have lived in China. You have to watch what you say about the government but otherwise, they pretty much leave you alone.
Don’t get me wrong, it is not a free place. But, I don’t don’t think it is worse than the US. It is better in some important ways.
Harpy Daniels?
Any relation to Stormy?
Oh no! The non-binaries strike again—this time in our military!!!!
Why is this freak allowed in the Navy at all—let alone being used as a recruiter!!! Just give him a general discharge and be done with him!!!!
No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...
No, blanket parties now include s’mores, painting each others nails, hair braiding and back rubs, apparently.
Not my navy, anymore.
