TLDEF — name and gender marker change, legal help, and Trans Health Project. 646-862-9396. Relevant for couples whose marriage rights may be contested or who need parentage protections across states. Discrimination claims have short windows — federal EEOC is 180–300 days from the incident depending on state. Some states still have anti-LGBTQ+ adoption restrictions for religious agencies; private secular agencies are usually safer. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
