Chase Strangio, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, is set to become the first openly transgender lawyer to argue before the Supreme Court in United States v. Skrmetti, which challenges Tennessee's ban on youth gender-affirming care. This historic event will determine the extent to which the government can interfere in private medical decisions.
American Civil Liberties Union attorney Chase Strangio will become the first openly trans lawyer to make oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

The justices will hear oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, which involves Tennessee’s youth gender-affirming care ban.
