Rachel Levine: Transgender official sworn in as four-star admiral

The US assistant secretary for health has been sworn in as the first transgender four-star officer in the country's history.Dr Levine, appointed by President Joe Biden, is already the highest-ranking openly transgender official in the US."May this appointment today be the first of many more to come, as we create a diverse and more inclusive future," she said in a speech that paid tribute to other LGBTQ individuals who came before her.

The US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps has about 6,000 uniformed officers and is tasked with responding to health crises like the coronavirus pandemic and natural disasters.

Sure hope she has access to her hormones if deployed to a place with no US pharmacies. Reason why so many are 4F. Need medical treatment.

Why is this foreign story in the BBC news UK feed? Nothing to do with the UK.

He's worked hard to gaine that role

Commendable and congratulations

Admiral? Absurd.

Brava

China must be shaking in their boots.

And the rest of the world laughs because they have some fear of God even if they don't know him & his Son/saviour.

If the job is done well, that's what matters 👏

Clown world is real

Of the health service, not the US Navy.
