Transcendence | The Story of Ari Bates

This week on Imago Gei, I interview Ari Bates, a transgender woman currently studying and employed at Southern Adventist University. After publicly coming out as transgender, she was made aware of a new policy that will be implemented on Southern's campus requiring transgender students to dress according to their gender assigned at birth.

Today, we hear her story and her experience as a transgender woman, daughter, and student.
