The Intelligence Community under the Obama administration also held breakout sessions on “inclusivity” during LGBT Pride month for employees at the CIA, FBI, and other intelligence offices. Workshop topics included “Getting Inclusive,” “LGBT Ally Training,” “Building Trans Inclusivity,” and “Boots to Rainbow Suits.”

Director John Brennan said growing up a “white male from New Jersey” led him to his strong promotion of gay rights in the Central Intelligence Agency, which included his wearing a rainbow lanyard around Langley to show he is an LGBTQ ally.

Fucking priorities right there.

That was a priority? That?

Why not breakout sessions on "How to spot a possible terrorist" or "Patterns of Jihad, signs to look for when researching..." Hell, maybe a little bit of "How not to get Americans killed in shitholes abroad" ?

Fuck these people.

I feel much better now knowing that these folks have such a firm grasp of the big picture. :rolleyes:

There needs to be a massive purge at all levels if government targeting political hacks. Political appointees below director level can't happen. Anyone in a senior leadership position that hasn't served in their area for say 10 years gets a pink slip.

I think you're going to require some additional sensitivity training. Just sayin'. ;)

Doesn't surprise me one bit.

I guess when they told him to be ready to fuck the enemies of the USA he misunderstood.

Everything that this training covers used to be grounds for denying a security clearance.

CIA Has Dedicated Program to Recruit Transgender Individuals
Intelligence agency releases 3-year ‘diversity and inclusion strategy’

The Central Intelligence Agency three-year “Diversity and Inclusion Strategy” includes a dedicated program to recruit transgender individuals and agency-wide “unconscious bias” training.

The plan, released by the CIA’s Diversity and Inclusion Office last week, lays out several goals for “weaving diversity and inclusion throughout the talent cycle.”

One agency goal is “Becoming an Employer of Choice,” and includes “dedicated programs” to recruit every demographic imaginable.

“Cultivating an inclusive culture that encourages collaboration, flexibility, and fairness enables all officers to contribute to their full potential,” the CIA plan stated. “When employees feel included, have a voice, and are given opportunities to develop and maximize their potential, we create an organization of choice and become a model employer for the full diversity of America’s talent.”

“We will continue to enrich our workforce by targeting diverse communities across the United States to meet our talent needs, with dedicated programs for citizens of African, Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Native American descent; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Individuals; Persons with Disabilities; Veterans; and Women,” the CIA said.

Among the intelligence agency’s key actions to meet this goal is to teach recruitment officers to “strengthen cultural competencies and combat unconscious bias.”

The CIA will measure its progress of recruiting minorities, LGBT individuals, veterans, and women by using an “inclusion index.” The agency will also track “Diversity and gender break-down of applicant flow data and recruiting trends.”

CIA Director John Brennan said diversity and inclusion are “at the heart” of what the intelligence service is “charged to do.”

“This three-year strategy renews and strengthens our focus on diversity and inclusion and sets us on a course to further enrich our workplace and fully leverage our talented workforce,” Brennan said. “Combining what we have in common with what each of us brings as unique individuals is a powerful recipe for success. This is the kind of Agency our employees expect and deserve. Together we can make this happen.”

Maja M. Lehnus, the agency’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, said the plan allows the “opportunity to weave diversity and inclusion deep into the fabric of” the CIA.

Accordingly, another goal of the three-year plan is “Weaving Diversity and Inclusion Throughout the Talent Cycle.”

“Diversity and inclusion must become an integral part of our culture to position the Agency to compete for and retain top talent and cultivate a qualified bench of future leaders,” the plan stated. “Deliberative processes combined with greater diversity and inclusion awareness will help combat unconscious bias and foster fair and equitable decision-making.”

“We will focus on consistent diversity and inclusion messages and standards in our learning curriculum,” the agency said.

The CIA will “establish diversity and inclusion objectives for programs focused on professional development, including mentoring, coaching, shadowing, and other experiences that aim for officers to develop as CIA Intelligence Professionals.”

The CIA will also “deepen diversity and inclusion awareness” by providing agency-wide “unconscious bias training.”

The third goal is “Increasing Diversity of Leadership.”

The CIA defined diversity as “the collection of individual attributes that together help Agencies pursue organizational objectives efficiently and effectively.”

“These include but are not limited to characteristics such as national origin, language, race, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic status, veteran’s status, and family structures,” the CIA said.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Yep. It's a new twist on "undercover" ops.

Yep. It's a new twist on "undercover" ops.

Because they need to fit in with the environment they're deployed to. After all, in most of our enemies, the transsexuals make up a significant part of population... wait what?

The riches of the United Arab Emirates hold promise for transgender sex workers, but also danger and unspeakable cruelty.
