Bundeswehr's First Trans Commander Anastasia Biefang Receives Reprimand Over Tinder Post, Karlsruhe Court Rules

Anastasia Biefang, the first trans officer to achieve the rank of commander in the Bundeswehr, faced disciplinary action due to a Tinder post. Her appeal against the reprimand was rejected by the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe. The Bundeswehr deemed her profile, which was described as 'spontaneous, joyful, and trans,' inappropriate for a high-ranking officer. Biefang, based in Berlin, has expressed her refusal to be dictated on how to engage on dating platforms.
