Summary
Chase Strangio will become the first openly transgender attorney to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court, representing families challenging Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming health care for minors.
Tennessee defends the law as protecting children from premature medical decisions, while Strangio argues the ban denies critical care endorsed by major medical groups.
The case comes amid growing restrictions on transgender rights nationwide.
Strangio, an ACLU lawyer, emphasizes the harm of denying necessary treatments, drawing from personal experience.
A decision is expected by summer, with potential policy shifts under the next administration.
Man dial it down a bit, I am combating transphobic ignorance on Lemmy almost full time. I am just worried that the only ones seeing our good arguments are you and me. Otherwise, I won’t respond to that tone.
I got in trouble a moment ago and had my comment removed cause I said unsavory things about you.
Quit your sealioning, yeah? I looked down your post history and have a reasonable belief you’re better than this.
