ACLU trans attorney Chase Strangio defended trans surgeries for minors in an interview with CNN host Jake Tapper on Tuesday. Strangio will be defending transgender surgeries in the state of Tennessee in front of the Supreme Court.

The first openly transgender lawyer to argue before the Supreme Court will say that minors should be prescribed hormone therapy and puberty blockers. Chase Strangio will take to the floor tomorrow to represent families who say Tennessee’s ban on treatment for trans children is unconstitutional.

For Chase Strangio, the professional path that’s led to this moment – in which he’ll have 15 minutes to present an argument defending gender-affirming care for trans youth before the Supreme Court – cannot be unwoven from his life outside the courtroom.

The day after Donald Trump’s election victory, ACLU transgender justice advocate Chase Strangio promised his 98,000 Instagram followers he’ll “fight like hell.”

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

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,

ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio told CNN's Jake Tapper that children as young as two years old know that they're transgender on Tuesday.

The US Supreme Court suggested it’s likely to uphold laws that ban gender-affirming treatments for minors as the justices considered a case that could determine the rights of transgender children in two dozen states.
