Amanda Simpson Says It Was Her Merits, Not Gender Identity, That Got Her Commerce Job

For Amanda Simpson, believed to be America's first openly transgender presidential appointee, the job she starts Tuesday in the U.S. Commerce Department is an honor and the culmination of a career dedicated to understanding military technology.

But what gnaws at her, she says, is the fear of being labeled a token who was hired because of her sexual identity rather than on her merits.

Amanda, don’t you know that all of us, including yourself and your appointer, know you’re a token?

Or how about “Fruitcake”, “Insane”, or just plain “Repulsive”?

So, just say no.

Crawl back to where you were and forget it.

There you go! Freak, and she had to sacrifice a body part I treasure to qualify as a freak. How dim can a Dim be?

So there were other transsexual officials before who were just really good at hiding it?

Unvetted and unknown, we have a POtuS in the White House that is a complete cipher. All the idiots in the country who keep referring to Obama as a genius because he was “the first African American Editor of the Harvard Law Review” should be reminded that a lot of “firsts” have no significance beyond that simple fact of being first in unusual circumstances.

The “first” black ballplayer in Boston Red Sox history - the LAST team in MLB to integrate, ironically, was Jerry “Pumpsie” Green who played a few short and unremarkable years and was out of baseball entirely before he was 30, He can be found, though, in all of the history books because he was a “first” in what was considered a bigoted organization.

Ironically, Pumpsie had a brother, Cornell, who was a tremendous athlete, the 5 time Pro-Bowler for the Dallas Cowboys. He made five Pro Bowls at two different positions - cornerback and strong safety. Green never missed a game in 13 seasons with the Cowboys (1962-74) and played 168 games, including 145 consecutive starts for the Cowboys between 1962-1974.

Absent Obama’s general collegiate records, indicating his course work, written grade scores and SAT’s etc., we don’t know how smart this guy is ... but I’m going out on a limb and saying he is more like Pumpsie Green than Cornell Green...he’s just the “first” to come along...

Anybody, even someone of little talent can become famous and be a “first” or a celebrity...but the guy who shows up on game day and straps it on is the guy who will be remembered for being someone special.

“Being the first sucks,” she told ABC News.”

Well, true, but now she can without being labeled a queer.

I swear, The JOKER is in charge of this administration.
