"Every day, all day, we see these underserved communities in these challenging times. How many women and men out there, of just all regards, how many humans out there are doing such good work, are trying so hard day after day without recognition?"– and has only been serving a short time.noted that there are many extraordinary and accomplished transgender and biological women who deserve to be honored. He argued Finke’s situation, however, is not the case.
"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," Benson said. "This is not about actual achievement or accomplishment, it seems, as this individual seems to admit," he continued."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.’"
