Rector’s Forum 11/18: Transgender Rights Are Human Rights

We are thrilled to welcome Alexis Paige to the Rector’s Forum on Sunday, November 18. Named one the “100 Trans Who’s Who” by Advocate Magazine, Alexis supports Lambda Legal attorneys throughout the country on an array of matters and at all levels of administrative, state and federal courts.  Currently, she is assisting in Lambda Legal litigation challenging the current administration’s discriminatory and arbitrary ban on open military service by transgender individuals. She is also assisting in a case on challenging a prison’s “freeze-frame policy” that bars a transgender inmate from accessing medically necessary transition-related health care.

She assisted in the planning of Portland, Oregon’s first official Trans Pride March, planning the Meaningful Care Conference (a national LGBTQ medical conference), and in the promotion of and education about Oregon’s Medicaid program ending exclusions of transition-related transgender health care.

After the Trump administration rescinded important Department of Education guidelines that clarified for schools that transgender students were protected by federal law, Paige fielded calls from students all over the country affected by the change. She has also contributed articles to the Lambda Legal blog and gives presentations, participates in panel discussions and speaks at rallies on behalf of Lambda Legal.

Join us in the Forum at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, November 18 for what promises to be an informative and inspirational conversation between Alexis Paige and All Saints’ Rector Mike Kinman.
