Attorney Daugherty-Leiter plans to provide an overview of the work undertaken by Trans Law Help Wisconsin, Inc., a volunteer-run 503(c)(4) nonprofit, as it relates to assisting trans and nonbinary people obtain legal recognition for their authentic gender and true name and then update their legal identification documents to match. For this Dane County audience, Attorney Daugherty-Leiter will provide details about issues experienced with the local court system. She will also attempt to place our work in the context of the legal challenges facing this community nationally, hopefully enabling listeners to understand how "just existing as trans" is increasingly hard for many people, especially youth. Attorney Daugherty-Leiter will end the presentation by offering suggestions for next steps, and by taking questions if there are any.
