    In the US, there is no justice unless you can afford a lawyer.

    I was assaulted at an inpatient institution last December. My stay was illegally upgraded to involuntary; I was denied the ability to file a grievance or speak with a patient advocate. I was also placed on the female ward as a passing transgender man and outed to all other patients. They did not provide me with discharge paperwork; as a consequence, I lost my job.

    I cannot afford a lawyer; there will be no justice for this.
