Over the years, I have found that finding legal assistance and/or accurate media coverage can be difficult-to-impossible to find, especially as a transgender women after facing discrimination of just about any sort. Around 2012, after learning about sections of the law which could help me in the these types of situations, I began privately studying law for self-defense purposes. In 2024 I filed two civil suits due to such situations, and thankfully my studies allowed me to take action against my home state for some serious unconstitutional justices which not only affect myself – but many people. Both of these lawsuits are very important for civil rights in Iowa, not only for transgender people, but for all vulnerable populations – people with disabilities, people of color, LGBT+, and frankly just anyone. In my lawsuit against the State I have challenged sections of Iowa’s law as unconstitutional and the State’s unconstitutional legal defense of “sovereign immunity”, and frankly I think when any Republican or Democrat reads the sections I challenged, they will wholeheartedly agree. Wilson v. the State is a definitely of public interest, and the Wilson v. Lockwood and Reliable is also a current lawsuit which gave rise to part three of the suit against the State:
Wilson v. STATE OF IOWA and KIM REYNOLDS FOR IOWA– a four-part lawsuit:
- Part One: Transgender woman alleges local officials caused her to remain homeless for 8 years
- Part Two: A Class Action for Transgender Iowans due to rights violations by the State, repeated acts of defamation by Kim Reynolds, and unjust enrichment by her campaign committee
- Part Three: Lawsuit seeks to Halt State’s Plan to close Iowa Civil Rights Commission; seeks to improve the Commission instead
- Part Four: Alleges that the State and Reynolds Administration are actively in violation of 18 USC § 241 Conspiracy against rights, Iowa’s Hate Crimes statutes, and Iowa’s Ongoing Criminal Conduct Act (racketeering for using the State toward an unlawful means). I have requested a cease and desist order against Kim Reynolds and the State, and a protective order for transgender Iowans so that the State may take no further action toward eliminating any legal protections currently in place for transgender Iowans, and Kim Reynolds may make no further acts of defamation against transgender people, lest a default judgment be rendered against the party who violates the protective order.

About the Lady Justice photo above:
Why is Lady Justice blindfolded?
Interpretation by Sondra Wilson:
The image of Lady Justice, featured at the top of this page, is from article, “Speaking of Allegory” by David Scott. Wild Willpower is utilizing the image for First Amendment, and therefore it is protected according by fair use.
First off – I love that word, “allegory”. As I like to say – “Tis better to use allegory than to get all gory!”
Notice Lady Justice is blindfolded while holding the scales: this is because physical evidence (aka paperwork) “holds more weight” than that which one can hear. Unless you are surrounded by honest court administrators, your verbal testimony may not have the lasting impact you think it should – especially if the opposing side enters an affidavit into the docket: their physical paperwork documenting their sworn testimony may cause you to lose the case when weighed against
While this isn’t fair, I’m broadcasting it because I’m tired of people being deceived, manipulated, and treated unjustly through the courts.
