    For two years in a row, USA Today names a man as one of the "Women of the Year"

    Transgender lawmaker honored on USA TODAY 'Women of the Year' list

    For the second year in a row, USA TODAY has named a transgender woman to its "Women of the Year" list, meant to honor "heroines who make a positive impact in their communities every day."

    Every year, the publication compiles a list of "Women of the Year," which includes both national honorees and honorees from individual states.

    USA TODAY faced scrutiny last year for naming Dr. Rachel Levine, the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the Senate, as one of its national honorees.

    This year, for the outlet's Minnesota honoree, USA TODAY selected Rep. Leigh Finke, who became Minnesota's first transgender state lawmaker last year.

    "Finke has been an activist for transgender and LGBTQ+ rights, as well as Black Lives Matter, almost her whole life," USA TODAY writes in a feature article honoring Finke. "After transitioning in 2017 Finke said politics began hitting 'a lot closer to home.' Witnessing national and coordinated attacks against the rights of transgender people and others in her community motivated her to be the representation Minnesota was lacking."

    Since taking her post in the state legislature, Finke has pushed to make Minnesota a "trans refuge" state, meaning the state would provide universal access to "gender-affirming care."

    Such care, particularly for minors, has come under scrutiny in a litany of GOP-led states that have either banned the procedures for minors, or are attempting to ban them for minors.

    Finke's advocacy efforts proved not to be for nothing, as earlier this month Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed an executive order making the state a "trans refuge" where anyone can access "gender-affirming care."

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Biological males need to wait because our turn is coming. Wait for the discrimination lawsuits because no transmen are ever nominated as male of the year.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    That seems to be the entire picture in a nutshell, and not just in regard to gender. "If you shoot yourself in the foot, people who you hate will suffer." Never mind you'll limp the rest of your life. They'll feel a twinge, so it'll be worth it. You have to suffer to make your enemies suffer.

    Who are you going to listen to? Your brain, your bull$#@! detector, your best interests, your principles? Or are you going to listen to us tell you how brilliant you are for listening to us?

    The politics of the stupid, hateful and self-defeating.

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

You can either be homosexual (bonus points for cutting off your genitalia) or put your life on the line by being cannon fodder for the war machine*. In either case, you're not making more white males.

    It's gonna be real funny when there's no more women in the work force, because the hiring quota for women is filled up with men in dresses

    I imagine they are giving it away, but more importantly, to minor children that want to mutilate themselves, the message is, run away or drag your idiot parents to Minnesota, where you will be free to have your dick chopped off.
