PORTLAND, Maine - A law firm and two support groups are teaming up to help transgender individuals obtain ID's that reflect their gender.
Jennifer Levy, of the advocacy group GLAD, says the law firm, Ropes and Gray, will provide free legal assistance in making needed changes.
"There can be challenges revising identity documents," Levy says. "People can have inconsistent documents. It can be a difficult process for some people to negotiate, and so it's really important to be able to have government-issued ID that reflects a person's life."
Levy says individuals needing the free assistance can fill out an online form at the GLAD's website.
