"I am able to do my job because I have had this health care that transformed and, frankly, saved my life. I am a testament to the fact that we live among everyone."
Strangio's legal career has included representing Chelsea Manning, challenging a ban on transgender people serving in the military, and helping win an LGBTQ+ worker-discrimination case at the Supreme Court.
The arguments in the case come amid heightened pushback to transgender rights, including a presidential campaign where Donald Trump put his fierce opposition front and center.
Strangio is also an advocate speaking out as U.S. states ban gender-affirming health care for transgender minors, part of a wave of restrictions on LGBTQ+ rights.
