Obama appoints transgendered as Advisor

Looks like President Obama is holding true to his slogan "Yes we can"! I have been so proud of what he has accomplished. If we can get past the fact that he walked into a White House that was already broke. He has tried to make some changes and what is making most so mad is that he is doing this for the little people. I don't like to discuss politics so I will stop at it here.

Amanda Simpson, 49, is a member of the National Center for Transgender Equality board of directors, and is taking over the spot as the Senior Technical Advisor in the Bureau of Industry and Security. On December 31st, Simpson was quoted in a statement hoping that her appointment will open doors for other transgender people:

Ms. Simpson has thirty years of experience in the aerospace and defense industry. She recently served as Deputy Director in Missile Systems in Tuscon, Arizona. She holds degrees in physics, engineering, and business administration. She is a certified flight instructor and test pilot.

“I’m truly honored to have received this appointment and am eager and excited about this opportunity that is before me,” said Simpson, in a prepared statement released by Transgender Equality on Dec. 31. “And at the same time, as one of the first transgender presidential appointees to the federal government,” she said, “I hope that I will soon be one of hundreds, and that this appointment opens future opportunities for many others.”

Amanda Simpson you truly inspire me!
