Trailblazing trans lawyer Chase Strangio set to make history at US Supreme Court

Chase Strangio is set to make history as the first openly transgender lawyer to argue a case in front of the US Supreme Court. 

Strangio, who previously represented transgender military whistle-blower Chelsea Manning when she was denied the right to transition while incarcerated, will make his supreme court debut on 4 December. The case he will present, US vs. Skrmetti, concerns the families of the transgender youngsters, and a doctor, who claim they are victims of Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors.
