Part 3/8:
Chase Strangio, the ACLU attorney representing the plaintiffs, is notably making history as the first known transgender individual to argue a case before the Supreme Court. On a CNN appearance leading up to the hearings, Strangio emphasized that the medical community supports gender-affirming treatment as crucial for the well-being of transgender youth. He argued against misconceptions about coercion in these treatments, asserting that it is parents—along with healthcare professionals—who actively make decisions based on their children's needs.
