In the Coast Guard and other military branches, female officers are often addressed as "sir" to maintain standardization and equality in ranks. This practice stems from a tradition where "sir" is a term of respect for all officers, regardless of gender. It helps to eliminate gender distinctions within the hierarchical structure and reinforces a unified command culture. While some may find it outdated, it reflects the military's emphasis on rank and authority over personal identity.
