Transgender CIA agent Julia Curlee spent two decades in the agency, serving four presidents through three wars and travelling to 35 countries. She provided daily intelligence briefs to Vice President Mike Pence during President Donald Trump's first term, and worked for the first 68 days of Trump's second term as the White House's senior CIA official providing morning intelligence briefings to high-ranking officials (even as Trump administration members signed orders to strip her nondiscrimination protections, ban her from federal restrooms, end her insurance coverage for gender-affirming care, and list her passport's gender as "male" — potentially outing her to hostile foreign governments).
Curlee always believed in "service before politics" and "country before self," she wrote in an essay published Monday in The Atlantic. But around March 29, 2025, the White House chief of staff fired her after influential anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer posted a message on social media asking for the identity of a trans "Biden holdover who hates President Trump" working in a national security office. When she returned to the White House the following Monday, her badge and government accounts had been revoked.
Curlee — who joined the CIA in 2007 and was first CIA officer to transition and serve as an out trans person — was never given a reason for her dismissal. She wrote in her essay, "The White House had needed me. Trump officials had known I was trans from day one. This hadn't been an issue until it was public—�and then nothing else I'd done mattered. Not my service, not my war-zone tours, not even which restroom I used. I was the wrong kind of American."

I will laugh when "Loonie Loomer" gets deported.
OK, but I can still hope.
