The command of the Bundeswehr for the first time appointed a transgender for the battalion commander's post, reports the German RBBC 24. Lieutenant Colonel Anastasia Bifang says she always felt "inferior", but up to 40 years put up with it. At some point, she decided to undergo a course of hormone therapy and make several surgeries, and now Bifang considers herself to be a woman.
The senior officer took office on Wednesday. She was entrusted with the 381st communication and support battalion in the city of Storkow, which has a staff of 750 people. According to the 43-year-old Bifang, the subordinates quietly took the decision of the higher leadership.
The lieutenant colonel is sure that the service in the new position will be successful. In addition, as a member of the society of homosexual servicemen, she intends to actively advocate for the rights and interests of transgender people.
Bifang has served in the ranks of the Bundeswehr for 23 years. She admitted that the decision about her appointment still met with criticism: strangers began to leave insulting comments on her Facebook page. The lieutenant colonel, however, does not attach special importance to this and believes that ill-wishers are in the minority.

"she" is still a he, or an it. Either way not a real female.
I think it will be useless!
