U.S. v. Skrmetti with Chase Strangio

Episode Description

The Supreme Court will soon hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a case that will fundamentally reshape gender affirming care access across the United States. Imara breaks down the stakes of this legal battle with Chase Strangio, the ACLU attorney who will be arguing on behalf of trans youth and their families. The two discuss the Tennessee law and plaintiffs at the heart of the case, how the Court’s ruling could limit 14th amendment protections, and what trans people can do to make their voices heard. Chase also shares what it’s like to be the first openly trans lawyer to argue in front of the Supreme Court of the United States. Send your trans joy recommendations to translash_podcast@translash.org
