You should be able to walk into a courtroom and say the word \u201che\u201d if you find yourself looking at a man who declares that he\u2019s a woman, without a judge chastising you or compelling you to use supposed gender pronouns that don\u2019t match a person\u2019s sex.<\/p>\n<p>In an email discussion, Goldis told The Federalist that the GCLS intends to be a resource for people who are trapped in legal battles over trans identity, like small businesses being sued for so-called gender identity discrimination or \u201cparents who are fighting to stop a co-parent from transitioning their child.\u201d But the organization isn\u2019t a law firm, and it isn\u2019t planning to represent clients. Instead, Goldis says, the plan is to provide topic-specific legal advice for other lawyers, drawing from a coalition of experienced experts who have dealt with a type of dispute many lawyers haven\u2019t seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGCLS\u2019s main goal right now is to offer legal consulting to lawyers who are handling transgender-related cases,\u201d Goldis told The Federalist. \u201cThe area of highest need is family law,\u201d as in those appalling court battles between a parent who wants to transition a child and a parent who doesn\u2019t. \u201cOften their attorneys don\u2019t understand the gender piece and are surprised by how the case unfolds,\u201d Goldis says.<\/p>\n<p>It is, in short, \u201ca professional network that pools knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCounseling lawyers is more efficient than representing clients directly,\u201d Goldis told The Federalist. \u201cThere\u2019s also more freedom to work across state lines (to advise a client directly, you need to be a member of the bar of their state). We can save attorneys from reinventing the wheel and guide them through this odd and rapidly evolving area of law\/culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can read a partial list of GCLS lawyers in their announcement post, linked above. Opposition to trans ideology is bridging ordinary partisan divides, and here\u2019s another example. As they write about the lawyers who\u2019ve joined, \u201cThree are ACLU alums; four are gays who reject the forced teaming of sexual orientation with gender identity. We hold diverse political views but agree on one principle: gender identity does not belong in law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The large group of lawyers includes people like Kara Dansky, a longtime attorney who <a href=\"https:\/\/karadansky.substack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">writes an influential gender-critical Substack page<\/a> and publishes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Reckoning-Democrats-Betrayed-Women-Girls\/dp\/B0CN32BXC2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">important books<\/a> about the politics of transgender ideology, and Erin Friday, the president of the anti-child-transitioning parents\u2019 group <a href=\"https:\/\/ourduty.group\/2022\/10\/08\/we-need-to-stop-transing-kids-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our Duty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, a lawyer in the absurdly pro-trans cultural madhouse of California, has long experience outside the GCLS as an advocate and legal expert.
