Congratulations to Amanda Simpson for being the first ever Presidentially appointed transgendered individual to work for the White House. Is this just a carrot being waved in the communities faces?
First of all, it should not matter what you are, as long as you are good at what you do. Obama is desperate for gay support, however he has yet to do much to help legalize gay marriage and rights. It makes no sense to me.
I still am so proud of Simpson, for following her lifes path and standing in the way of adversity (which shouldn’t even exist in the first place…oh, a wish for a perfect world). Here is what she had to say…
“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 released by the National Center for Transgender Equality. “And at the same time, 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.”
