ACLU
The Rights of Transgender People in Washington State ACLU [1]
- This guide is designed to help transgender individuals understand their legal rights in Washington State. It is not meant to provide legal advice. The current legal system assumes individuals identify as one gender, either male or female. While this guide provides an understanding of the current legal system, the ACLU recognizes that many people do not identify as male or female. A person may identify or express as a specific gender, both genders, or neither gender.
Know Your Rights: Prisoner’s Rights [2]
- Learn more here about your right to be protected against discrimination and abuse in prison and what to do if your rights are violated. The law is always evolving. If you have access to a prison law library, it is a good idea to research new developments. Includes scenario, “I'm experiencing discrimination or abuse in prison because I’m transgender.”

Ingersoll Gender Center Guides
- We look forward to a world in which all trans and/or gender diverse folks are able to access resources without worrying about their safety and well-being. We also know that our communities are resilient. Trans and/or gender non- conforming communities have been here since people have been in what we now call Washington state, and we will continue to leverage these resources the best we can to live the lives we deserve to live. We hope you find this guide useful, and that you may see bits of yourself in here. Support is here and available to help you in navigating these resources.

Third Gender Markers on WA State IDs Community Questions and Answers [3]

Seattle/King County - Trans Tenants Rights Guide [4]
- This guide is an informational document meant for trans renters in Seattle, WA. It offers specific information and resources for trans folks based on questions and concerns we’ve received around maintaining safe and stable housing. This guide was produced in partnership with The Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections along with support through our work on the Seattle Transgender Economic Empowerment Project funded by the Office of Economic Development.

Seattle/King County - A Guide to Amending Your Identity Documents in King County [5]

This guide is prepared by and for transgender, gender non-conforming, and gender diverse communities for our collective self-determination.

Self-Advocacy Guide: Trans and GNC Healthcare Access [9]
- In our 2018 Healthcare Access Survey we found that 56% of our local trans community felt uncomfortable in asking about their rights in their providers office, or are unsure about their rights in a medical setting. We want to support our community in mitigating these issues by providing a self advocacy tool kit in addition to strategies to accessing care, and questions to ask their providers in order to make sure that they are receiving the care that they need & deserve.

A Vision for Greater Access to Gender Affirming Healthcare [10]
- We believe deeply in building a world where we can all access our collective self determination. Self determination is when we all have a full menu of choices to decide how to live our lives authentically and free from violence. For trans and gender nonconforming communities the right to control our own lives is something that is constantly being taken over, controlled, redirected, and in many cases completely taken away. For us, most of our lives are lived in a constant state of reactivity to the discrimination, fear, and uncertainty of being trans in America; especially in terms of healthcare access. With our Healthcare Access Visioning Project we wanted to be deliberate in highlighting the barriers that trans and gender non conforming folks come up against when just trying to be healthy, and feel at home in their bodies. We are passionate about healthcare and this project because we know that for our communities these are life and death medical decisions. We know that accessing healthcare can be a traumatic experience and we hope this project can outline a future where all trans and gender nonconforming communities have equitable access to the life saving health care they need.
