The nation’s much-heralded transgender moment has finally ascended to America’s Big House.
From the Washington Blaze:
In first, White House hires openly trans staffer
The White House for the first time has hired an openly transgender person as a member of its staff, LGBT advocates and the Obama administration announced Tuesday. Raffi Freedman-Gurspan, who formerly served in trans advocacy as policy adviser for the National Center for Transgender Equality’s Racial & Economic Justice Initiative, has been appointed to a senior position in the White House Office of Presidential Personnel. She’s set to begin her new role as an outreach and recruitment director in the Presidential Personnel Office on Tuesday.
But here’s the best part, via the Daily Beast: “Freedman-Gurspan was adopted from Honduras and raised in Brookline, Massachusetts.”
Can we get an Amen?
Okay, how about a mazel tov.
