Trans Bodies | Episode 19 Café with Comadres

Comadre Sandy sets up the mesa this week with guests Davíd Elí Patiño and Austen Hartke. Trans people have fiercely fought to create the person they want to be. They lead the way in defying the expectations of a confining and often suffocating society. They model liberation. Join the comadres for a refreshing conversation on trans bodies. 

David Elí Patiño is a Latinx, queer and genderqueer immigrant hailing from Medellin, Colombia. He completed his M.A. in Religion from Union Theological Seminary. 

Austen Hartke is  the founder and director of Transmission Ministry Collective, an online community dedicated to the spiritual care, faith formation, and leadership potential of transgender and gender-expansive Christians.
