Transgender Issues

Diversity Week included a talk called "Transgender 101" yesterday afternoon. If you missed the talk (or even if you didn't), here are some organizations working on transgender legal issues:

Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund (New York)
Transgender Law Center (Oakland & San Francisco)
Lambda Legal Transgender Rights page (National, headquarters in New York with four regional offices)
National Center for Transgender Equality Washington, DC)
National Center for Lesbian Rights Transgender Law page (San Francisco and Washington, DC)

The "I Am" project (at TransPeopleSpeak.org) presents several dozen short videos in which transgender people talk about their lives and their identities. You'll see the diversity within the trans community: the videos include people of different ages, races, and occupations, as well as different approaches to their transgender identities.
