#2 Is "this person would make a good agent" still considered, or is being transgendered the only requirement?

Zero's diabolical strategy here must be to get all of the foreign intel agencies to laugh themselves to death.

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

Visit the State Department cafeteria, arrive early, sit near the windows and simply observe. 'Every demographic' can be quickly spotted and assessed as Foggy Bottom has achieved demographic nirvana. Next step, the personnel office for the 'how to.'

But what was I thinking? This isn't about recruitment, you've got those bases covered. This is about political correctness, internal agency propaganda, and power.

#9 And when the Transgender agent gets "in country" will he blend right into the local scene ? And how are you going to "blackmail" a Lady with a beard anyway? Tell somebody he isn't what he seems? He seems to be a flaming Queer dressed up in a Clown suit. And he wants you to beep his nose.

Tell Oleg to do it, I'm on my Lundh break.

#10 I seem to remember many, many years ago a concept proposed that would have placed a female intelligence operative within a Latin American airline as a pilot. The plan never got off the ground [pun intended], but it did produce some nasal koffee spewing and face palming among desk officers who had regional expertise.

#11 Seems like they might be good at drawing out Islamic fanatics playing at being moderates. No need to actually put them in the field where they might need training.

Many gays and transgenders have learned multiple ways to make straight folk feel ill at ease for their own ammusement, perhaps that could be used for good.
