I don’t see it as an insult, it is used as one. Especially by this admin.
It’s the idea that some is only there because of DEI and without it, their capabilities wouldn’t have been enough. Which is wrong.
Before DEIA was implemented, minorities were often not hired, because of their background, even though they were the more capable candidate. And this admin is a perfect example, that “DEI hire”" is projection.
Is Hegseth more capable than his predecessor? Gods no. His signal escapades are enough to prove this.
Is RKJ more capable than his predecessor? Is anyone in this majority white, majority male admin better suited for their job than the more diverse admin before it? No. But still, that admin gets labeled as DEI Hires, not because anyone could prove that DEI prevented a more deserving candidate from filling that position, but because they belong to minorities.
I’m not going to argue that the best person for the job always gets the job, even without DEI, because they clearly don’t. Unfortunately in the real world most of getting a job is who you know not what you know.
My original point was that this EO has nothing to do with DEI, and that still stands.
This EO fits into a larger pattern of targeting minorities under the banner of “fixing DEI”. The original point of your argument, however, was that this admin does not try to erase trans people.
"The left-wing gender insanity being pushed at our children is an act of child abuse. Very simple. Here’s my plan to stop the chemical, physical and emotional mutilation of our youth,” Trump said about Trans Kids.
This entire EO he put out on Day one is entirely about erasing trans people without even mentioning them as “trans”. Kicking them out of the military is another step towards this goal of ultimately banning them from every facet of life.

Sec. 2. Policy and Definitions. It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.
