Simple Steps to Legal Support
Finding the right legal support shouldn’t be complicated or overwhelming. Our process is designed to be straightforward, respectful, and tailored to your needs. Here’s how we help you take the next step toward justice.
We Defend Your Rights Against Those Who Seek to Oppress You
The people we help are victims who have done nothing wrong. We believe that injustice against trans people is a violation of human rights, civil rights, and constitutional precedent.
Fighting for Your Rights, One Case at a Time
Discrimination and injustice take many forms, but no one should have to face them alone. At Defend Trans Rights, we take on cases that directly impact the trans community, ensuring every client gets the legal support they deserve. Here are some of the key types of cases we handle.
Civil Rights Violations
Everyone has the right to live free from discrimination, but trans individuals often face systemic barriers to equality. If you’ve been denied services, mistreated by law enforcement, or experienced violations of your fundamental rights, we’re here to help. Our team works to hold institutions accountable and fight for the justice you deserve.
Employment Discrimination
No one should lose a job or be denied opportunities because of their gender identity. If you’ve been harassed, wrongfully terminated, or faced workplace discrimination, we can connect you with attorneys who will fight for your rights. The law protects trans workers, and we’re here to ensure those protections are enforced.
Housing Discrimination
Safe and stable housing is a fundamental right, yet many trans individuals face eviction, denial of rental applications, or harassment from landlords. If you have been unfairly treated in securing or keeping housing because of your identity, we can help. Legal protections exist, and we’ll work to make sure they’re upheld.
Healthcare Discrimination
Trans individuals deserve respectful and affirming medical care, yet discrimination in healthcare settings remains widespread. If you have been denied care, refused treatment, or faced mistreatment from medical providers, you have legal options. We help connect clients with attorneys who will hold healthcare institutions accountable.
Name & Gender Marker Changes
Updating legal documents to reflect your identity is an essential step in affirming who you are. However, the process can be complicated, with unnecessary legal hurdles and bureaucratic resistance. We assist individuals in navigating name and gender marker changes so they can live with dignity and confidence.
Other Legal Issues
Discrimination and injustice can take many forms beyond these cases. Whether you’re facing barriers in public accommodations, education, government services, or any other legal challenge related to your identity, we are here to help. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, reach out—we’ll listen to your story and connect you with the right legal support.
