Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke, a Democrat and the first out transgender lawmaker in the state’s legislature, recently spoke out against gender-affirming care bans that target transgender individuals.

During a recent interview, Finke expressed the significance of the issue, stating that it is a crucial moment for the transgender community in the United States. She highlighted the emotional aspect of the debate, noting that it is impossible to separate emotions from the argument at hand.
