History-making lawyer Chase Strangio opens up in new documentary: ‘My transness helped me conquer fear’
It’s been a whirlwind of a year for Chase Strangio. He’s gone from preparing to argue a case before the Supreme Court, making history in the process, to preparing for a second Donald Trump presidency, and now contending with the realities of the new era.
As a result, he’s had little time to dwell on being the first out trans person to argue a case before the Supreme Court, which he did in December 2024. “I have not really had time to reflect on the experience,” he tells PinkNews. “Overall, though, I felt very supported by my team, and I felt as ready as I could have.”
A decision on the landmark case – LW v. Skrmetti/US v. Skrmetti – is not expected until June.
