A transgender legislator from Minnesota who was only elected three months ago has been named the state's 'Woman of the Year' honoree by USA Today.
Leigh Finke, a former academic, journalist and author, was voted into her heavily left-leaning district in the Twin Cities metro area last November with 81 percent of the ballot.
She was honored alongside several other people - including former First Lady Michelle Obama and the United States women's soccer team. Transgender assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine was one last year.
Finke is the first transgender legislator to be elected in the state, which is part of why the paper chose to honor her. Finke transitioned in 2017.
While the state's Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan praised the award, some were less than thrilled, including former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who wondered 'What will ever be left for biological females?'
The ex-press secretary spoke out on Fox News' Outnumbered following the news.
Fellow commentator Emily Compagno said that Finke's inclusion was pure identity politics at the cost of hard-working women everywhere.
'It is so exhausting, in my opinion, to have immutable characteristics or box-checking characteristics be the reason that someone is amplified to that level,' Compagno said.
Fox commentator Guy Benson said he had no problem with honoring a transgender woman, but noted that she had only served three months in office.
'President Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, and it's because people wanted to make a political statement. That's what this is,' he said.
Benson also said:'This is not about actual achievement or accomplishment, it seems, as this individual seems to admit. This is about, ‘there's a culture war, there's a big controversy around trans issues, so let's find some and put them on these lists to make a statement.'

The country seems to have gone over the edge of insanity for trans. What percentage do they even make up?
About 1/4 of 1 percent I think I read somewhere?
Women can’t even win women’s beauty pageants anymore. Considering men are pretty much still needed to do the heavy tasks of society like construction women don’t really have a role since men apparently can get pregnant too.
We aren’t even into April, so why are they already naming a Woman of the Year?
Its a secret tell. They're implying they've chose TWO trannies.
Cross dressing faggots nothing new but the media are in love with them.
Guess what they do on Saturday nights.
Feminism begat gay rights which begat trans rights. Anyone who supports feminism and/or gay rights but cries about trannies brought this on themselves.
Like James said, “It’s A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World”. If you attack the king, YOU BETTER KILL HIM. The females didn’t do it.
Demonic.
if i was a woman, wait, i can be...
but the man in me says, do not put up with this $#!7.
I wonder if Bruce...Jenner has any comments. They are all dolled up, we made them into HEROS.
Geeezzzzzz, that’s HIDEOUS!
I can remember years ago when rump-humpers in womens clothes were was looked upon as what they really are: disgusting, mentally-ill PERVERTS!
Oh he’s charming
It is getting harder to declare yourself more liberal than thou. One of the last venues to establish your liberal cred is to honor some trans (fake) woman. Honors, medals, awards are mostly about the giver, rather than the recipient. Obama’s Nobel, for example. Notice how rare it is, for example, for a conservative to become an honorary fellow, or get an honorary degree or win an academic scholarship from a liberal leaning institution.
Beyond ridiculous
I'd give them a pass if nobody could tell. Out of sight, out of mind so to speak. But this farce is sick.
I think I’m in love.
