Why does the fact that she is transgendered have any part in this? If she wasn’t trans, her appointment would barely be a blip on the political radar screen. The only question should be: Can she do the job?

Would you prefer that she be unable to have a job and went on welfare?
If she is intelligent and capable perhaps she can show that gender reassignment isn’t an amusement at all, but a response to biological problems that can…and should be, rectified with the proper medical treatment.
At the very least, its at least as reasonable to pay for gender reassignment surgery, as it is to pay for Viagra for middle aged men.

She isn’t the head of the Commerce Department. She’s the senior technical adviser. I’m sorry you’re so threatened by anyone who isn’t just like you.

No. She was not appointed to her job to influence congresses position of transgender health care.
What her appointment does do is show that people who suffer from transsexualism are every bit and normal, intelligent, and capable as anyone else. She deserves the position because she is qualified. Nothing more.

She was appointed because she is well qualified for the job, and for no other reason.

She received the appointment for one reason. She is more then qualified.
However sense you brought up paying for Sex Reassignment Surgery, not Gender Change Operations. No one can change there gender. Lets look at some facts. Are you more Intelligent then the AMA Board of Directors?

I don’t get the connection. She’s being hired because her expertise in military/aerospace procurement. And the problem with healthcare isn’t the Democrats, it’s the Do Nothing Republicans.
