huffingtonpost.com – Jennifer L. Levi – Director of the Transgender Rights Project at Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD)

I am hard-pressed to think of a family law case involving a transgender person with a fair or just outcome. And that is saying a lot. As the director of the Transgender Rights Project at Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), a non-profit that works in the New England states on discrimination cases involving LGBTQ clients and those with HIV/AIDS, I hear from many transgender people facing discrimination in the formation, expansion, or dissolution of family relationships.
