Transcend Legal was founded in October 2016 to address the ongoing need transgender people have for individual legal services. Other national transgender legal organizations focus on legislation, policy advocacy, and test-case litigation. Transcend Legal works to implement and enforce the rights gained through new laws, policy changes, and court victories. While we serve individuals without regard to whether their case will set precedent, many cases benefit others in the community. Robust enforcement of transgender rights prevents future violations and creates institutional change.
