Amid all the chaos of the Taliban's Sunday takeover of Kabul, 32-year-old Josie Thomas, a transgender government contractor and former USAF sergeant, is trapped behind enemy lines with several of her colleagues.

Thomas sent text messages that were obtained by the Los Angeles Blade, detailing the situation on the ground. They stated that Thomas was aware of the immediate danger, that Taliban fighters were in the city, and that Afghan security personnel were no longer at their posts, having abandoned them.

Thomas "also expressed frustration at the lack of communication regarding the lack of a presence of U.S. military forces to assist," reported the Blade.

They are stranded at what is known as Camp Alvarado, a facility located close to the Kabul airport. The American Embassy in Kabul has also had to close for security reasons. American citizens in Kabul have been warned to stay away from the Kabul International Airport, as there were reports of the Taliban firing towards it.

As of Sunday, colleagues in the US reported that Thomas had said some members of the United States Army's 82nd Airborne Division had made their way to Camp Alvarado.

One of those in contact with Thomas said that they "Just talked to her again for several minutes. The 82nd has taken control of her compound and there’s a clear route from there to the flight line now. That the place is looking like a refugee camp with the amount of displaced coalition personnel and there’s no aircraft coming in to evacuate people yet."

There was no official confirmation as to why the images of the women were covered up, but it is likely that it was done so to appease the Taliban.

When the Taliban last ruled Afghanistan, they forbade women from working or attending school.

Women had to cover their faces and were punished if they did not comply. They were also barred from leaving their homes unless they were accompanied by a male relative.

Many women in Afghanistan now say they are afraid of how they will be treated during Taliban rule and fear the loss of their freedoms and rights.

Women who worked as politicians or activists also reveal they now fear reprisals.

Some women in Kabul started buying burqas that cover their entire bodies, including their faces, as the Taliban approached the city.
