Some very interesting panels at the OutServe conference at the New York New York hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday. I covered panels on family and partnership benefits and sexual harassment in the military - big surprise was how many men have been victims of rape. I'm on my way to an important panel on transgender service. Will have more on these and other stories when I get home.
Meanwhile, I thought you might want to see this: the CIA is here as a sponsoring organization. They sent five recruiters.

Well, the CIA often recruits former military members...and they love Transgender people because the company knows that they can keep a secret as well as the fact that the CIA has a nice handle on the person.
Lets face it, how many Trans people IN the military do you really know of?
And a tiny handful in the US armed forces. Only two of whom are open - and so subject to dismissal should their CO's change.
Which makes them a bit like civilians in 35 states of the US, where a change in your boss can mean instant dismissal for anyone Trans.
I know rather more who are ex-military of course. One pilot currently flying for a major US airline is something of a legend - in her previous name.
