She can't get free council because either

1. She's trans.

2. Her case is complex with many elements to it, requiring a large amount of money and time by many different people to argue correctly.

Or some combination of the two. I think 2 is far more likely here, while you seem to only think 1 is a factor. I find that position obsurd.
