M. Barusch ’06, the other presenter, reflected on her experiences as a member of the Massachusetts Trans Legal Advocates, a group of law students who advise transgender people for free.
Barusch is now a law student at Boston University, but as a Harvard undergraduate, she chaired the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance, now known as Harvard College Queer Students and Allies.
She enumerated a long list of legal issues for which transgender people need additional legal assistance.
