Talk:Transgender legal history in the United States

Created from split
For discussion of split proposal leading up to creation of this article, please see Talk:History of transgender people in the United States. Mathglot (talk) 07:57, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Reorg required following split
There is much reorganization still to be done following the split that created this article. Organization of the article needs to be thought out: should it be strictly chronological? Should we separate court cases (lower, Supreme, State) from government agency regulatory action, and from executive orders? As a result of whatever reorg ensues, new section titles will be needed to rationalize and implement the new organization.

Some of the thoughts at Talk:History of transgender people in the United States may be helpful when considering the re-org here. Mathglot (talk) 08:03, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Be bold
Without a doubt, there are a lot of things to be fixed here after the split, so don't worry about stepping on toes; if you see something that needs doing, do it! At the worst, it might get reverted as part of the normal BRD cycle, and there'll be discussion about it here on the talk page, but that's the normal procedure. Nobody will get upset at your sincere attempts to improve the article. If you see something really huge you don't want to take on for whatever reason, you can either just suggest it here if you want, or break it up into five or ten or 20 bite-sized chunks, and do them one-by-one with individual saves and edit summaries; that way, if there's some disagreement on some portion, the whole thing doesn't get reverted, and the talk page discussion can concentrate on the difficult bit. So, hack away, or just leave you ideas on how to improve the article here. Mathglot (talk) 01:37, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

2010 subsectioning
Currently the 2010s section is broken down into various subsections, such as Case law, Military, and a whole hierarchy under Governmental, but other decades aren't, partly because there was much less going on before 2010 and it didn't seem necessary. To some extent, "Case law" and "Governmental" overlap, so not sure if we need to keep the former. Mathglot (talk) 07:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Chelsea Manning
Probably something brief should be included about Chelsea Manning here (along with a Main link to the main article) because of the intersection of her trans issues and the military prior to being accused, and then her trial and imprisonment for espionage and treatment (or lack of it) in prison and the legal issues there, and finally her subsequent release.

Needs images
There are no images in the article. Can we find something relevant to legal cases? Seems harder, but maybe Chelsea Manning illustrating one of the military-related legal issues, or else stock photos of the Supreme Court building, or a military or state court or logo.

Organizations section
Might need a section on organizations so we can say something about important groups like Lambda Legal, Human Rights Campaign, some of the EQ groups (like EQCA), and National Center for Transgender Equality, and the work they do for legal rights and non-disrimination. For more possible candidates for this section, see Category:LGBT political advocacy groups in the United States. Mathglot (talk) 09:33, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
