On Friday DNC Chair Tim Kaine appointed Barbra Casbar-Siperstein ( the first transgender person appointed) to the Democratic National Committee.

Casbar-Siperstein is currently the President of the New Jersey Stonewall Democrats, Vice Chair of Garden State Equality, and  Political Director of the Gender Rights Advocacy Association of NJ.  She  was a voting delegate to the 2004 Democratic National Convention. In 2005-2006, she served on Governor – elect Corzine's Labor and Workforce Development Transition Advisory Board.

It's great to see more moving up into the ranks and out where people can see we are normal.

It is good to see.

But it will only be normal when her being Trans wouldn't be worthy of notice or headline.
My biggest hope is that we one day become simply ordinary..
