In the past, CD,TS, or Gay were complete roadblocks to a security clearance. In the 70's any hint of that and if you had a clearance it was pulled. NSA and CIA wanted to vet your dates. In agency dates were encouraged. But times have changed. Still I would not expect much from those on top. Remember it was the Executive branch of our government that forced the Army Air Corp to allow blacks to fly (tuskeegee airmen). It wasn't the military's idea. So TG, TS, and Gays will only get a fairer deal if the rest of the government forces it.
