Transgendered appointments now made in USA - a good sign for USA
President Obama has made the first executive appointment of a transgendered person, naming Amanda Simpson as a senior adviser to the Commerce Department, where she will work on military technology. As a former test pilot who spent 30 years working for defense contractors in advanced technology development -- and, quite literally, a rocket scientist -- she certainly seems qualified for the job.
IMO: It seems to be that such appointments should be made on the basis of merit not transgenderism or other doubtless irrelevant factors. This just seems a correct decision. Certainly Obama, the first really significant blackish US leader, should understand this. Gender or transgender should have little to do with many decisions and at last the administration may be concentrating on relevant and fair decisions. For once a very good sign in USA.
