the courtroom and in workplaces. They will discuss the
intersectionality of TGNC people who have a diverse range of experiences
and who are impacted by all social conditions, including race,
immigration status, language, gender expression and disability. They
will address the steps that can be taken to ensure that not only are we
all in compliance with the law, but also that we become allies with each
other.
