  • Summary

  • On this episode Caroline, Jason, and Mar meet Sasha Buchert as they discuss Sasha’s military background, her work at Lambda Legal, and the challenges faced by trans and non-binary communities in the US, along with discussing ongoing protests, recent court cases, and the importance of voting, with a focus on trans rights and the corrupting influence of money in politics. Sasha Buchert is a Senior Attorney in the Washington D.C. office of Lambda Legal, the oldest and largest organization dedicated to advancing the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and individuals living with HIV. During her time at Lambda Legal, Sasha has been involved in extensive federal and state legislative and policy efforts on a wide range of issues including judicial nominations, criminal justice reform policy and health care initiatives. She is also litigating a number of cases expanding and solidifying federal civil rights protections for LGBTQ people. Most recently, she is counsel in Karnoski v. Trump, a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Trump administration’s ban on military service by transgender people, and is counsel in Gore v. Lee, a federal lawsuit filed in Tennessee challenging that state’s refusal to amend birth certificates for transgender people. Sasha has written about the legal issues facing LGBT people for publications including USA Today, Fox News, and Medium. She has appeared on the CNN, the PBS News Hour, C-SPAN, Newsy and Uprising. Before joining Lambda Legal, Sasha served as Staff Attorney and Policy Counsel at Transgender Law Center. Sasha Buchert was the first openly transgender person to be appointed to an Oregon state board, and from 2012-13, she served as the chair of the Oregon State Hospital Advisory Board. She holds a J.D. from Willamette University. Sasha Buchert served proudly in the United States Marine Corps. ** “Make it real to me” written by Athena Promachus, covered by Boy Bowser The Trans Narrative was created, and produced by Caroline Penny, powered by Spotify for podcasters If you’d like to reach out, or be apart of the show contact us at “transnarrativepodcast@gmail.com” Support and donations can be made to cash app tag $gottabesomthinmore Find us Facebook, TikTok, and on Apple, Spotify, and iHeartRadio, or anywhere you listen to podcasts Thank you for your support Suicide Hotline 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433) S.A.F.E.
