Strangio Makes History at Supreme Court
Chase Strangio ’10, an attorney for the ACLU and co-director of the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project, made history in December as the first openly transgender person to argue before the US Supreme Court. In US v. Skrmetti, the Court will decide whether Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for children and adolescents violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. Just a day before he argued the marquee case of the term, The New York Times published an op-ed by Strangio. “My presence at the Supreme Court as a transgender lawyer will have been possible because I have had access to the very medical treatment at the center of the case,” he wrote. “Though some doubt the lifesaving properties of this care, I know them personally. And so do my clients.”
