Transgender Law Center is the largest national trans-led legal organization in the United States. Through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and community education, Transgender Law Center fights for the civil rights of transgender and gender-nonconforming people in the areas of healthcare access, immigration, criminal justice, education, and employment.

Their legal resources include Know Your Rights guides covering a wide range of situations trans people encounter — from healthcare discrimination to interactions with law enforcement to workplace protections. They also operate a legal information hotline for trans people with questions about their rights, and their Trans Legal Services Network connects people to affirming legal representation.

Transgender Law Center’s work is especially important for trans people who face multiple intersecting forms of marginalization, including trans people of color, immigrants, people who are incarcerated, and those navigating poverty. Their resources are built to reflect those realities rather than assuming access and privilege.

If you are a transgender or gender-nonconforming person seeking legal information, navigating discrimination, or looking for trans-led legal advocacy, Transgender Law Center is one of the most trusted and comprehensive organizations in the country.
