Obama appoints transgendered woman! Bravo!

Amanda Simpson, a transgender woman, has been appointed by President Barrack Obama to be the Senior Technical Adviser to the Commerce Department.



"I'm truly honored to have received this appointment and am eager and excited about this opportunity that is before me," Simpson said in a statement. "As one of the first transgender presidential appointees to the federal government, I hope that I will soon be one of hundreds, and that this appointment opens future opportunities for many others."

I applaud President Obama for advocating for equality.
