The law school TVs displayed a congratulatory “Welcome to Cornell Law School” message while the names of the 1L class scrolled across the monitors. My welcome was conditional — I was welcome at Cornell Law School as long as I existed on their terms. Leaderboard 2I often reflect on the vast difference between my undergraduate institution, the University of Denver, and Cornell Law School. My experience stems from an institutional disregard for both transgender law students and LGBTQ+ students in general. This means that support for institutional change is often small, and given the dearth of transgender law students themselves, the law school administration can ignore or de-prioritize the changes that transgender students need with minimal pushback.
