ADVOCATING FOR AND REPRESENTING TRANSGENDER
CLIENTS
A Training Workshop Presented by MLGBA’s Committee on
Transgender Inclusion
You are about to meet with a transgender client for the
first time. Could you answer the
following questions?
What sorts of challenges might this person have faced, and
how will they shape the way you interact?
What preconceptions might you be bringing with you, consciously or
unconsciously? How will the
client’s gender identity or expression affect the case? Is his or her transgender status even
relevant? If so, how is it
relevant, and what questions should you ask? How do you decide?
Bring
your lunch and join us at the MBA Employment Law Open Forum where these, and
other questions, will be discussed.
Drinks and snacks will be served.
