Mónica Astorga, the "nun of the trans," left the Church but not solidarity

Sister Monica became known in recent decades for her fight for the rights of transgender and transvestite women. From Neuquén, where she was Mother Superior, she campaigned for support and access to housing, which materialized in a cooperative. She had the support of Pope Francis, but it wasn't enough: her defense of sexual diversity led to her estrangement from the Church, though not from her faith. Today she lives in Buenos Aires, studied podiatry, and continues her vocation of service.
