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.

    “There are tons of things we don’t let minors do”

    Stop fucking lying and finish the sentence.

    "Without parental permission "

    Stop pretending like this is about minors deciding for themselves without any parental input or guidance.

    You are being dishonest.
