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.

    Social media helps to create and draw in unhealthy perspectives that can’t help but viciously attack those who view things from the perspective of sanity.
