Jude Patton was born in St. Louis, Missouri, assigned female at birth, and adopted at seven months old. Jude underwent gender-affirming surgery at Stanford University in 1972, one of the first trans men to do so. Almost immediately afterwards, he resumed the education he’d put on hold, becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Psychiatric Physician’s Assistant, and a certified Sex Educator and Sex Therapist. Never satisfied with supporting just one community or cause, Jude is also a passionate activist for environmentalism, immigrants’ rights, prison reform, and much more. He advocates for the rights of trans elders as a SAGE Ambassador and an informal consultant.
