Did M16 Cross Dressing Spy Gareth Williams Die Of Employer Harassment?

Some things seem too embarrassing to admit. Trans people living authentically will attest that the internal battles we wage with ourselves are multiplied in intensity by social stigmatization.

The pressure to keep our true selves secret comes from many places and if our employer adds to that sentiment it can seem to be too much to deal with.

In 2010 the "MI6 codebreaker Gareth Williams was found naked, locked into a Red North Face sports bag. Most speculated at the time it was a hit.

Most media focus is on his  "pictures of drag queens on his computer and had £20,000-worth of designer women's clothes in his flat along with women’s shoes and wigs".

"He browsed self-bondage websites and sites about claustrophilia - the love of enclosure - on his computers and phone and was looking at fetish websites days before his death."

Friends and family were upset at speculation that Mr Williams may have been gay and speculated that "some agency specialising in the dark arts" was behind his killing.

I wish the mainstream media would stop sensationalizing and ask the question, did Gareth Williams commit suicide to escape the pressures his employer would have undoubtedly brought to bear?

Was this a murder to keep Gareth Williams silent or a suicide?

Kuwait: 16 Woman Await Trial for Being Transgender

قانون صدر في الكويت سنة 2007
يجرّم كل من تشبه أو لبس لباس الجنس الآخر بالسجن سنه وغرامه 1000 KD
بالإضافة إلى الاعتداءات والتحرشات الجنسية التي يتعرض لها هؤلاء المساجين والتعسف بالاحكام

"2007 Law issued in Kuwait in criminalizes both resemble or wearing clothing of the opposite sex year in prison and a fine of 1000 KD.
In addition to assault and sexual harassment suffered by these prisoners and abuse verdicts."

They hunt us down for fun. Imagine yourself on the way to the market and blue lights suddenly pulsate behind you. Pulling over you your heart stops as the police quickly open your door and throw you against your car.

I haven't done anything wrong you shout as a fist smashes into you. You are being assaulted, imprisoned for the crime of being transgender in Kuwait. But the worst is yet to come. Rape. Torture. Being sold into slavery.



16 people are being held in Kuwait jails some for nothing more than having soft skin or a feminine voice. Most of the detainees have been arrested for ‘Imitating the Opposite Sex’, a ambiguous law which gives Orwellian power of arrest to law enforcement explaining why some of the detainees claims that that they were  arrested while dressed as a man and latter forced to put on women's clothing.

This is the country that we "liberated" with American lives?
