A U.S. intelligence official says cross-dressing helps him understand “foreign actors” and “wearing a bra” makes him more supportive of women in a recent newsletter from the director of National Intelligence’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Office.
According to the official’s piece in The Dive’s Winter issue, he enjoys dressing as a woman on occasion, which has helped him better comprehend “foreign actresses” and covert operatives. Not only that, but he said it improved his teamwork.
He said:
“Dressing like a woman has given me the insight I needed to identify and conquer the prejudices and misconceptions that stem from my own gender. One thing I’ve learned from cross-dressing is that everyone has a unique perspective on the world, including the people we study in the IC. Many experts in the domains of national security and international relations refer to this as “strategic empathy”—the ability to put oneself in another’s shoes in order to comprehend foreign players.”
He said that his experience as a crossdresser gave him insight into the minds of secret asset operators because it gave him a better grasp of the “desire to retain secrets about who you are and what you’re doing.”
Also, he mentioned that crossdressing might serve as an effective disguise.
And he claimed to be more cognizant of the needs of his female coworkers.
He said that dressing like a woman has made him understand how “uncomfortable” women’s attire can be, and that while he enjoyed wearing a bra, he is aware that it isn’t for everyone.
Wearing high heels may be painful and time-consuming; I know this from personal experience. Even though he likes wearing bras, he acknowledged that they aren’t comfortable for everyone and became increasingly so after a few hours. “It must be difficult to be uncomfortable on top of the prejudices that women frequently encounter in the workplace.”
Aware of and “hopefully supporting his LGBTQIA+ coworkers” are two more things he said.
“Everyone benefits when they are able to give their all at work,” he stated in his writing.
It was the Daily Wire that broke the story of the intelligence officer’s piece. “The globe is on fire and our country faces unparalleled terrorism threats with an unsecured southern border, yet ODNI is prioritizing this?” Mike Waltz, a retired Green Berets colonel and the chairman of the House Armed Services Readiness Subcommittee (R-FL),.
The next 9/11 should be the only emphasis of our intelligence professionals, not pushing the next DEI program, he continued.
