Transphobia and bigotry at the University of Texas School of Law is never a good look!
It’s disappointing to see students engaging in hate against their peers.
We’re calling out the Texas Review of Law & Politics for trying to make our community feel unwelcome.

Transgender Day of Remembrance -- the complicated version
November 20, 20202
Today we celebrate the lives of those that were murdered because of their transgender identity and/or expression.
That is the simple version -- let's break it down some.
Across the South and nationwide, LGBTQ candidates triumphed at the ballot. Congrats to these trailblazers in Georgia and Tennessee: https://t.co/2wDSNTdFDT #LGBTQSouth
Saddened to hear the news that Ms. Monica Roberts (@TransGriot) passed this week. She was such a powerful force for Black trans journalism and I was honored to feature her expertise in last year's #TransObituariesProject. Her work and brilliance live on through us. #RestInPower
Happy #InternationalLesbianDay!
Fun Fact: created in 1990, International Lesbian day celebrates lesbian culture annually and is mainly recognized in New Zealand and Australia.
Call us crazy, but at #NCLR, we have a strong feeling that EVERY day is #LesbianDay! 👭
37% of transgender inmates in the National Inmate Survey reported experiencing sexual assault, compared to 3% of non-transgender inmates. https://t.co/LKAxFEeedf
Our friends at @TexasLawNLG planned this awesome event for new (and returning!) students, happening TOMORROW. Share with new UT law students and DM for zoom info!
The Trump administration is proposing a new regulation that makes it even harder for LGBTQ migrants to be considered for asylum. This directly puts the lives of our migrant community at risk, especially Black and trans migrants.

A Burger King forced a Trans employee to work despite her showing severe COVID symptoms and after she died they told coworkers - many of whom are now sick - it was due to her hormone treatments.This isn’t just vile transphobia - it’s criminal negligence. https://t.co/t0QlZkPX6B
5 years ago today, #SandraBland died in her jail cell. She died scared and alone as too many Black women do. We can never forget to #SayHerName. We can never stop demanding justice and accountability for Black women. #BlackLivesMatter#OTD
Sending love and support to our former students and all law grads studying for the bar right now. The BLE is failing you and failing us, and you will be - and already are - phenomenal advocates.
The response of state bar associations to the COVID-19 pandemic is highlighting racial and socioeconomic inequities in the legal profession. “Who or what are boards of law examiners really trying to protect?” https://t.co/FBcc0uILPz
