That article is silly. The defense secretary cannot arbitrarily fire people like this. He can have a 15-6 investigation opened though, but that is a long way from a firing. To arbitrarily fire an officer there has to be some immediate violation of law or gross harm with exigencies.
Where these immediate firings occur for senior officers is typically a failure of performance in a command position that results in some other greater failure, but this is beyond rare, even in combat.
It's only confusing if one is ignorant about pronouns. It's not hard in practice.
Person 1: Where is emy?
Person 2: Oh she, is over there. Points
Person 3: hey person 1, emy doesn't refer to herself as she..
Person 2: oh I'm sorry. I had no idea about Emy and their pronouns...Hey person 1, Emy is right over there.
I find it easier if you refer to people by their names (preferred or otherwise) and just default to gender neutral terms like "they/them". Because it not a hard thing to do.

I have probably been living under a rather large stone. I dont watch TV or have any social media and had no idea of pronouns.
This article inspired me to find out what pronouns were/are.
What are they/them, xe/xem, ze/zim, sie/hir, and other gender-neutral pronouns?
Its so confusing.

Due to the narcissistic nature of pronouns, I have decided that I am going to take an idea out of Freud's first book and steal it.
(I/super I/It)
that's me that is.
