NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Transgender people in the United States are rushing to legally change their name and gender with the help of volunteer lawyers due to concerns the community's civil rights could be threatened under the administration of president-elect Donald Trump.
In a race against the clock, transgender people have been connecting on Twitter using the hashtag #TransLawHelp with lawyers offering to help them make the changes free of charge before Trump takes office on Jan. 20, 2017.
Last week's victory for Trump has left many transgender advocates fearing a backlash against their community after the Republican candidate sent mixed messages on transgender rights during the campaign.
Trump's choice for vice-president, Mike Pence, has rankled many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights activists who are wary of the current Indiana governor's years of opposition to gay rights.
Transgender software engineer Riley, who asked to be identified by a first name only, created the #TransLawHelp hashtag after first finding legal assistance to change name with a Twitter message posted in the wake of Trump's victory.

Can I change my gender to: TBD?
No more boys named Sue?
Keep on rankling um, Mike
I don’t think Trump has said jack squat on this topic. He has bigger concerns. These people just manufacture their own neuroses.
Isn’t it amazing that without killing anyone, they can go completely crazy with their paranoid fantasies? It must be the drugs.
It’s dramatic hysteria, meant to try to elicit sympathy. Even Google got in on the act. But people have much else on their minds now.
“Transgender people in the United States are rushing to legally change their name and gender...”
Whack! Whack! Slash! Slash! Whack (oops, sorry!!)
Trump doesn’t care two cents about this issue, and the left’s histrionics are beyond silly.
“Zis iss ze Commandant of ze Trump administration - you vill talk or ve...or ve...or ve will NOT cut your family jewels off!”
I am going to have my government flip me from male to female and back from female to male for at least 100x. Are you in? Are you out? Are you in? Are you out? Are you in? Are you out? Are you in? Are you out?

Shame on me... if it was 10 years ago. LOL!
They are freaking out over nothing. Trump is actually quite warm to homos, Gay marriage, transvestites, gay ambassadors to the UN, bull dykes with sleeve tattoos and cigars, etc.
and you do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around
and that’s what it’s all about
Every day is like Christmas!!! Will we get bored???
Be kind to the Donald, Barney, or he will take away the bullet that you carry in your shirt pocket.
Exactly and the media is only too happy to report on these freaks. It only helps we Sane-Americans causes.
How do you rush to change gender? A knife? A sharp scissors?
