The Institute may be a bit controversial in some circles. Far be it from me to stir the pot, but I do think the issue is worth discussing. This Institute is, in some senses, an outgrowth of the "Transgender Roundtable," an informal gathering of advocates who actively practice in the area to discuss strategy, which grew out of the "LGBT Litigator's Roundtable". Strategy is important, because one bad legal precedent or policy decision can cause legal headaches for decades. On the other hand, the Transgender Roundtable has been somewhat controversial in trans legal circles on the grounds that an elite group of lawyers, many of whom are not trans, should not be deciding these matters for the community. What are your thoughts on that, and how should we handle this issue at the Transgender Law Institute?
