Gender Justice League (GJL) is a civil and human rights organization that focuses on elevating the rights of trans & gender diverse communities in Washington State and beyond. 

GJL was founded in Seattle, WA in 2012 by a group of long-time trans, queer, and allied activists who were looking to increase the community’s capacity to address cissexism, transphobia, and transmisogyny; and the homo, bi, and queer -phobias that trans and gender diverse people face.

GJL has focused on elevating civil and human rights for trans and gender diverse people by creating community through advocacy efforts and shared leadership development. Recognizing that only 4% of employees in the major LGBTQ+ organizations are trans, and that trans people face nearly double the unemployment rate of cis people, GJL’s gender justice model seeks to empower trans people to combat the structural oppression, discrimination, and violence that we face in our daily lives.
