[Riley's] tweet and hashtag prompted rapid responses from lawyers and those seeking legal guidance
By Friday, TransLawHelp.org had become a significant database of trans-positive legal resources...pitching in to help trans people.
[I]n the 24 hours following the post, the hashtag #TransLawHelp was used some 10,000 times according to a hashtag-tracking software.
Hashtag creator Riley shared, “I just hoped to make a steady resource for trans people to expedite document changes. Even I plan to use it, actually."
