Point was, she's qualified for the job. Not to mention she was a commissioned officer in the USAF before she came out in 2016. And despite that coming out, when Trump was forming the so-called "Space Force", her resume came across someone's desk and they said, "yup, let's transfer her."

His resume coming across someone's desk and they might have said, "yup, he thinks they / them is a she so he checks a number of boxes let's transfer him."
