Transgender Law Center

The primary focus of TLC’s prison mail response program is to connect incarcerated transgender and gender-nonconforming people with information to equip them to advocate for themselves. The resources TLC has access to include; policies issued by specific state DOCs and the federal BOP;  guides to navigating grievance processes and filing lawsuits; know-your-rights guides for transgender and LGBT people; legal name and gender change information; model policies developed by LGBT advocacy organizations; statements from medical professional associations on the necessity of transition-related health care; basic medical information about transition-related health care; case law from previous lawsuits filed by transgender people in prison; reentry resources; resource lists of other organizations. Unfortunately, we cannot provide legal advice, representation, or take on cases through our prison mail response program. Serves people nationwide, but more specific information for Californians.
