(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) USA Today decided to give a Woman of the Year award to a male Minnesota politician who advocates for child mutilations and “identifies” as a woman.
Leigh Finke, the first transgender legislator who was appointed to the Minnesota House of Representatives in November, was selected as part of USA Today’s project to honor “local and national heroines who make a positive impact in their communities every day.”
Finke started to identify as a female in 2017 and was campaigning for other “transgenders,” focusing on ensuring that minors would be able to have access to experimental and irreversible medical sex change procedures, according to the Post Millennial.
“It’s a dramatic understatement to say that I am beyond honored to see my name among this list of honorees,” Finke wrote on Twitter. After he received an award, Finke was interviewed by SC Times.
“The people I hear the most from are parents of trans children,” Finke said and explained that parents often struggle to find hope that their child can thrive after undergoing a sex change. SC Times also said that Finke has been “an activist for transgender and LGBTQ+ rights, as well as Black Lives Matter, almost [his] whole life.”
Hot Air writer David Strom, who calls Minnesota home, roasted the disgraceful absurdity of Finke being named anyone’s “woman” of anything.
“‘She’ looks like a dude in a dress, and that is because ‘she’ is a dude in a dress. Yet we are to believe that a man cosplaying as a woman is the most praiseworthy woman in the state,” Strom wrote.
It was amazing, he said, how Finke rose from being just an ordinary guy six years ago, to become the state’s most praiseworthy “woman”.
“It’s the same path that transgender athletes take so often: a mediocre man becomes an exceptional woman, not through hard work, diligence, accomplishment, or anything similar,” Strom wrote. “They do it by pretending to be a woman, and the rest of society applauds them and plays along.”
