Amanda Simpson, First Transgender Presidential Appointee, Begins Work at Commerce Department: 'Being The First Sucks'

Amanda Simpson, First Transgender Presidential Appointee, Begins Work at Commerce Department:

"Being the first sucks," she told ABC News.com. "I'd rather not be the first but someone has to be first, or among the first.
