I live in California and have an issue with a former institution, but I don't know whether my situation would qualify/meet the criteria for being a government negligence tort claim as it is quite intricate and complicated
Hey ****! To help you better, could you share a bit more about what the institution did or didn't do? This will help determine if it might be considered government negligence.
when i was in high school from *-* i transitioned my sophomore year. I did sports during this time and the school engaged in several actions that at the time I felt were unfair but was a minor and unaware of the legal implications that were violating my rights. I did not get support was segregated and ended up continuing playing sports on female team despite identifying as a male and obtaining a court ordered name and sex change which they required for updating my id. Unbeknownst to me records from my time in sports were published revealing PII and revealing my transition status. I discovered these last year and requested their removal, but the District did not comply even after filing a uniform complaint.
This situation is indeed complex, and it may involve privacy violations and discrimination. You may have grounds for a legal claim based on:
- Violation of privacy rights due to disclosure of your personal information.
- Potential discrimination based on gender identity.
- Negligence in handling your complaint.

well to be honest I have not had much luck being able to find lawyers who deal with this specialized area of law since it touches on sex based and secondary to that gender based discrimination since I did not change my gender but my sex. The other part is that it has to do with education laws and I've already been rejected and turned down by over * firms. I'm mostly just seeking help understanding if the reason for this is due to firms not believing I have a winning case or if its really just that the issue area is a unique aerea of law most attorneys don't do

Your situation is indeed complex, involving privacy rights, discrimination, and education law. It's possible that the uniqueness of your case makes it challenging for firms to assess or take on. However, it doesn't necessarily mean your case isn't strong; it might require specialized expertise. It could be helpful to consult attorneys who focus on gender discrimination and education law specifically. Have you considered reaching out to legal advocacy groups that specialize in these areas? They might have resources or referrals to attorneys who can help.
So while I'm not trans my experience of transitioning is functionally similar to that of many trans people. Thus I reached out to advocacy organizations, inclu. NCLR, ACLU, Lambda Legal, CRLA, the LGBT Center, and Bet Tzedek. Of these, only the last * were responsive. The LGBT Center, was significantly impacted at the time, eventually informed me that only one attorney might work in the relevant area. That attorney contacted me, but it was not a suitable match. With Bet Tzedek, I had been in contact with them, later received their retainer. During a call, the attorney expressed skepticism about whether pursuing a nunc pro tunc before sealing my court order for name and "gender" change would have meaningful legal effect. This statement was made without supporting legal reasoning. After clarifying by email I was seeking assistance with formatting issues, rather than legal counsel, and expressing my concerns about the unsupported commentary, they ceased further contact.

Your situation is quite complex, involving sensitive areas like privacy, gender discrimination, and education law. It's possible that the complexity and uniqueness make it challenging for some attorneys to evaluate. The lack of widespread expertise in this specialized area might be a reason for the difficulty in finding representation. However, the case doesn't necessarily lack merit. Have you tried consulting any legal clinics affiliated with universities that might have expertise in emerging areas of law? They could provide insights or direct you to specialized attorneys.
Thanks, I appreciate the affirmations. I have not, as I am not aware of any university-affiliated legal clinics in Los Angeles County that are actively advertising these services, particularly since the current political climate has created many setbacks for individuals pursuing complex legal actions against government entities, especially when those actions involve sensitive personal circumstances.
