"Jenny's transition began as the federal government was starting to take bold steps to protect and support transgender employees. That remarkable evolution was set in motion by a handful of trailblazers, key among them Ms. Schroer, who stood up to the kind of discrimination that ended careers in the federal work force. Fran Moore, the director of intelligence at the C.I.A. at the time, took a personal interest in Jenny when she heard that an officer intended to transition at work. The agency, which had been a hostile place for openly gay employees just a couple of decades ago, has become far more welcoming. But this was uncharted territory, so Ms. Moore discreetly assembled a team to ensure that Jenny's transition on the job would be smooth."
