USA Today included a transgender government official nominated by President Biden in their 2022 “Women of the Year” list.
Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health at Health and Human Services, appeared to be the only transgender woman included in the publication’s list of women they wanted to honor.
USA Today shared their reasons for why each person was selected.
“Every day across our country, USA TODAY’s Women of the Year lead and inspire, promote and fight for equity, give others a place to seek help and find hope. They are strong and resilient women who have been champions of change and courage, often quietly, but with powerful results. And often despite their own challenges. Some of the women may be familiar names. Others may be new to you. Each has an inspiring and powerful story,” the editors wrote.

In a video accompanying Levine’s post, USA Today columnist Suzette Hackney celebrated Levine as “a ground-breaking leader who credits family support for helping her succeed.” She added, “Admiral Levine wants her work to be a shining example for all.”
