A positive story about a trans person in U.S. government

From a recent article in The 19th:

"Amy Paris has quietly served across four presidential administrations. At 42, she is one of the highest-ranking trans people serving in the federal government after Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine.

Most people have never heard of her or the office she works in. Paris is a digital service expert in the U.S. Digital Service, a team of engineers and designers assembled by President Obama in 2014 to modernize government systems after the rollout of the Healthcare.gov website the prior year proved disastrous.

Paris and her colleagues work across federal government agencies to fix the digital forms people use year after year and the documents that reflect who they are. Paris designs solutions that make work a little easier, on paper and in person."
