Obama's New Queer Appointee Amanda Simpson Brings Some 'T' to the Administration

Defense industry veteran Amanda Simpson, who sits on the board of the National Center for Transgender Equality, was just appointed by President Obama to join the Department of Commerce as a senior technical adviser. While working at Raytheon Missile Systems in Arizona, she transitioned from male-to-female over a six-year period, and successfully lobbied to add gender identity to Raytheon's Equal Employment Opportunity Policy. In 2005, she ran, unsuccessfully, for a seat in the Arizona House of Representatives. Oh, and she's a test pilot!

Way to go! Congrats!

9. Raytheon - pretty much the home of the evil empire....ugh!

I can't believe all the inhumane weapons these folks have dreamed up. They are disgusting in my opinion.

10. You'd prefer somebody who didn't know anything about missle systems...

to be appointed as a technical adviser on the subject?

11. Tranny implies a transvestite...

This article is referring to a transgendered person. You have a right to your opinion about her line of work, but you really need to try not to insult her gender identity. It makes you look like a moran.

14. you just don't seem to get it...

You really should not be referring to people using street slang. that's how one gets misunderstood. Or perhaps it's a telling trait of your nature. You still sound like a moran to me.
