A tip of my beret goes to Lisa Keen, writing for Pride Source. Through her, we now know who the first trans person that the Obama Administration appointed was, and it wasn't Amanda Simpson. That honor goes to Dylan Orr, a trans man.

From the Pride Source's Obama makes first trans appointments:

    Amanda Simpson starts work this week as one of the first presidentially appointed transgender persons to the executive branch of any administration. The honor as the first belongs to Dylan Orr, a 30-year-old law school graduate from Seattle.

Update: In my cut-and-paste of the press release for Lynn Conway's presidential appointment, I didn't copy the entire contents of the press release. I updated the post to add more information about Lynn Conway's appointment.
