Marking International Women’s Day on Wednesday, a trans-identified male was awarded an International Women of Courage award during the 17th annual Secretary of State’s International Women of Courage Award Ceremony.
Introducing Alba Rueda of Argentina to the crowd, the presenter said, Rueda “is a transgender woman who was kicked out of classrooms, barred for sitting for exams, refused job opportunities, subjected to violence, and rejected by her family. But in the face of these challenges, she worked to end violence and discrimination against the LGBTQ plus community in Argentina.”
