The article profiles Sandra, a foreman in a produce packing plant in California who is transitioning from a man into a woman. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) farmworkers face many problems, include violence and cuts in pay. Sandra, who was a victim of both of these after she began transforming into a woman, found an attorney and won a settlement from the plant. Her attorney was Lisa Cisnerous, a graduate of the Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California Berkeley, who specializes in LGBT cases.
