Dana Beyer is one of those how-has-she-done-it overachievers whose resume is staggering even by Washington standards.

The long-time LGBT activist has been active on the boards of several national and regional groups, has run twice for state delegate in Maryland and is now devoting her time volunteering as executive director of a new group, Gender Rights Maryland, that is working toward getting a comprehensive gender identity anti-discrimination bill passed in Maryland by the end of the 2012 legislative session. Beyer started her career as an eye surgeon but after years of working both in the U.S. and abroad, burned out from overwork and neglecting to deal with what she says were traumatic adolescent issues that had inspired her to become a doctor.
