Man Claims Crossdressing Makes Him a 'Better Intelligence Officer'
Rick Moran:
“The Daily Wire obtained a newsletter through a Freedom of Information Act request from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The newsletter, called "The Dive," is sent to employees in the entire alphabet soup of intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
“An article in the newsletter titled “My Gender Identity and Expression Make Me a Better Intelligence Officer” argues that our intelligence officers need to understand inclusivity and diversity.
“I am an intelligence officer, and I am a man who likes to wear women’s clothes sometimes,” the article claims. The officer says that his decision to crossdress “merits attention given the climate of discussion around the topic and where it sits in the larger conversation about gender identity and expression and professional appearance.”
“I think my experiences as someone who crossdresses have sharpened the skills I use as an intelligence officer,” the anonymous author claims. He says he's now “more aware of, and hopefully more supportive of, my women colleagues" because he now has a “better appreciation for how it can be uncomfortable to wear women’s clothes sometimes.”
“I know firsthand how wearing heels can make your feet hurt and make it take longer to walk somewhere,” he says.

In addition to empowering him as an ally, the author says that his experience as a crossdresser has made him “better at understanding clandestine assets and their motivations” and “at understanding foreign actors.”

First Openly Transgender Army Officer Indicted for Trying to Give Soldiers’ Medical Info to Russia
September 29, 2022
The Army’s first openly transgender officer was indicted Thursday on charges of trying to provide American soldiers’ medical information to the Russian government.
A federal grand jury in Baltimore indicted Jamie Lee Henry and his wife, Anna Gabrielian, on charges of conspiracy and wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information. According to prosecutors, the couple met last month with an undercover FBI agent posing as a Russian diplomat and offered medical information from Fort Bragg, the home of the military’s elite Delta Force.
Gabrielian, an anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins University, told the undercover agent during an Aug. 17 meeting that "she was motivated by patriotism toward Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail," according to the indictment. Gabrielian gave the undercover agent medical information on a spouse of someone who works in the Office of Naval Intelligence, and "highlighted" a medical issue that "Russia could exploit."
Henry, a doctor at Fort Bragg, gave the undercover agent information on five patients at the military facility, according to the indictment, first reported by the Baltimore Banner.
Henry has been praised as a pioneer of the transgender movement after coming out as transgender in an interview with BuzzFeed News in 2015. Henry claimed to be the first known active-duty Army officer to come out as transgender, and the first to legally change their name while in service.
Henry told BuzzFeed his experience transitioning helped him in the medical field.
"I find my trans experience has allowed me to relate to people, because all of us suffer, and I could relate to people’s suffering. I’m able to comfort people that feel isolated and lost and alone and broken," Henry said.
