Satin was born in 1934 in St. Paul, Minnesota .[1] [4] She felt feminine from an early age, but kept it to herself as she didn't have the vocabulary to express these feelings.[1] [4] [5] Satin was raised in a devout Catholic family, and attended seminary for two years as a teenager, but dropped out due to her feelings about her gender.[1] [4] [5]
Satin finished her secondary education at a Catholic high school, then enrolled at the College of St. Thomas , graduating with a B.A. in sociology .[1] While in college, she learned about Christine Jorgensen , a trans woman widely known for having gender-affirming surgery , and realized that there were other people like herself.[1] [4] [2]
After college, Satin trained as a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force .[1] [5] She was medically discharged due to a kidney infection.[1] [2]

In 2014, Satin created the Trans Seminarian Leadership Cohort.[2] [5] With the Spirit of the Lakes church, she helped develop an affordable housing facility for LGBT seniors, one of the first of its kind in the U.S.[1] [2] [5] [7]
In 2015, Satin was invited to the White House to discuss the housing concerns of LGBT seniors. She was also invited to participate in the 2015 White House Conference on Aging .[1] [5]
