Obama Names Transgender Appointee to Commerce
Department
January 4, 2009... Washington D.C. - The White House has appointed Amanda
Simpson, the former head of the National Center for Transgender Equality, to
be a senior technical advisor to the Commerce Department.
Simpson is one of the first transgender political appointees, but Democratic
officials say they are unsure if she is the very first. The White House itself had no
further comment on the appointment.
"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," Simpson said.
Simpson was previously a long-time employee at the military contracor
Ratheon Missile Systems, where her transition from male to female was
instrumental in getting the company to add gender identity to its equal
opportunity employment policy
