The case the Supreme Court is set to hear on transgender surgery for minors is not going to stun anybody.
Chase Strangio, a biological woman who identifies as a transgender man, is the attorney and the head of the American Civil Liberties Union LGBT & HIV Project.
The attorney has had gender transition surgery herself and believes that the same surgery should be available to children as she prepares to make the case at the Supreme Court against the Tennessee law that bans the practice.
“Every aspect of gender-affirming care that has transformed my life,” she said CNN, “I’m keenly aware that I want to preserve the ability for other people to access that care.”
“For me it is not about a genderless society,” she said in another interview with a website named, ironically, “Feminist.” “It is about challenging our assumptions about a fixed binary gender and exposing instead what gendered systems do to organize and reinforce power. I think we all have a role to play in being more critical about the operation of gender – not to make everything genderless but to make gender a site of play, reconstruction and reimagination.”
There have been 24 states that have enacted similar laws to that of Tennessee and if the court decides in favor of the Volunteer State it would solidify those laws nationwide.
“Chase Strangio is our nation’s leading legal expert on the rights of transgender people, bar none,” Cecillia Wang, the ACLU’s legal director said. “He brings to the lectern not only brilliant constitutional lawyering, but also the tenacity and heart of a civil rights champion. Our clients couldn’t have a better advocate in this case.”
But Judicial Crisis Network’s Carrie Severino spoke to The Daily Wire and said that the ACLU is focused on history because their case is not likely to be a success.
“It’s hard to see the challengers’ feeble equal protection theory having sway with the Court, so it’s not surprising that they would prefer to focus on historic firsts over the actual merits of their case,” she said.
