If we are talking anything military-adjacent, the word coup only means one thing.  It means military leaders taking down civilian leaders.

Factually correct but still avoiding the actual point.  Why do I bother?

January 6 was a few orders of magnitude more serious/important than the trans identity of a member of the USPHS. Even if Rachel Levine was in a more important job like secretary of the navy, it would still be less important.  I get you might be trying to say Rachel was selected based on trans identity and would not have been selected otherwise, but, you can't prove that.  In fact you presume that anyone who doesn't look a certain way must be less qualified than someone who does look a certain way.  That ain't good, mang.  Prejudice like that is rotten.
