Diego Sanchez is used to being labeled "the first transgender," and he doesn't mind. He's happy to pave the way.

"If no one is first, then there can't be a second," jokes Sanchez, 52, who—yes—is the first transgender person hired for a senior congressional position on Capitol Hill and is busy tackling healthcare reform and employment-discrimination issues as an aide to Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.
