On this Trailblazers episode, we sit down with Representative Leigh Finke, the first openly transgender woman to serve in the Minnesota Legislature and a fierce advocate for LGBTQ rights, particularly the rights of transgender and gender diverse community. She was the author of the Trans Refuge Bill, signed into law in May 2023, which protects gender affirming care in the state of Minnesota. She was also named one of USA Today's Women of the Year. Listen as we talk about being a role model, creating change and improving the lives of trans and gender diverse kids and families.
