Local transgender activist Barbara Satin joins BiCities! to discuss her work as Assistant Faith Work Director at the National LGBTQ Task Force, as well as aging as a transgender person. Her story of finding affirmation and acceptance of herself in the context of her faith is complex and compelling, and it has driven her in her work with the Task Force.

Barbara has spent much of her life working in a variety of roles for the advancement of LGBTQ folks. She is the first transgender person to serve on the Executive Council of the United Church of Christ, and in 2003, she played a key role in the UCC's decision to include trans folks within membership and ministry. For this work, President Barack Obama appointed her to serve on the President's Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships in 2016.
