Today I'd like to offer a big Friday Feministing ---- Yeah to reader, activist, and attorney Benjamin Edwards, who served as co-counsel on a case in New York defending transgender rights. Thanks to the work of Edwards and others with the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Supreme Court reversed a Civil Court judge's ruling that a "doctor's note" had to be submitted for trans people to legally change their names.
Every step forward is one more step forward
We are humans and deserve human rights just as much as anyone else
