Sarah Kapostasy is widely respected for her work with Out Youth in Austin TX, and the Central Texas Transgender Health Coalition. I was not too surprised when her kindness and eloquence helped me to understand the experience of queer youth and, even though she emphasizes that she is cisgendered (that is her gender identity matches that assigned to her at birth) and that she is not speaking for the trans community she creates a welcoming and informative space to learn and cultivate empathy. What I did not expect to the same degree was the depth of her passion and the strength of her spirituality and what role it plays in her work. I did very little editing of our conversation but rather, turned it in to two episodes. It is crucial to listen to them both to understand the exact nature of her precarity and how her passion and faith drives her through each day. I left. this conversation inspired and quite frankly...changed. Do not miss the second episode
