The Advocate/01/04/2016

"Legal advocates stand on the front lines of the fight for transgender equality. Whether they are transgender or cisgender, LGB or straight, these professionals represent clients, crunch statistical data, lead organizations, analyze issues, direct policy, and build coalitions that produce social change for the truly disadvantaged. Many donate their time for the public interest outside of lucrative posts in corporate law. Others work within corporate law as forces for good. Here are 25 out of hundreds of legal advocates fighting for trans justice today."

Let's hope your list does support their intended transsexual / transgender clients.

When I was fired by two different employers specifically being transsexual - 1985 and 2010 - not one lawyer or union or NGO agency or EEOC or other entity came to my aid.

Yes, I am bitter.  As in other issues, let what happened to me NEVER happen again to another.  I want to change my bitterness to action.  I will come to the aid of another to help as best as I can because I know that experience.
