First openly trans lawyer to argue in front of Supreme Court addresses gender-affirming care bansSource C-Span

Supreme Court conservatives cited overseas laws to defend draconian legislation in Tennessee banning gender-affirming care.

It is not lost on me that I will be standing there at the lectern at the Supreme Court in part because I was able to have access to the medical care that is the very subject of the case that we’re litigating,

At issue is a Tennessee law that bans access to hormones, puberty blockers, and other treatments for trans kids in the state.

The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments Wednesday over Tennessee’s law banning transition-related medical care for minors.

The justices heard arguments over a state’s power to prevent transgender teenagers from obtaining puberty blockers and other treatments a Tennessee law deems inconsistent with the minor’s sex.

The Supreme Court weighed whether Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors experiencing gender dysphoria violates the Constitution.

Chase Strangio, who grew up in Massachusetts, will be the first openly transgender attorney to argue before the nation's highest court.
