The First Out Trans Lawyer to Argue Before the Supreme Court Is Feeling the Pressure
Briefly

Chase Strangio, co-Director for Transgender Justice with ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project, will represent families and argue Tennessee’s gender-affirming-care ban is unconstitutional.
Strangio emphasizes the case’s significance, stating, 'I feel a lot of pressure, personally and on behalf of my community, to continue to figure out the best strategic decisions.'
Reflecting on his historic role, Strangio notes, 'In 2024, no group of people should be having their first experience of anything,' highlighting ongoing structural discrimination.
The Supreme Court's decision could affect over 3,000 transgender youth in Tennessee and extend its impact to 26 other states with similar laws.
