Trans activist to defend hormone treatments and puberty blockers for minors before Supreme Court

Transgender activist Chase Strangio will defend hormone therapy and puberty blockers for minors before the Supreme Court on Wednesday. He is the first known trans person to appear before the Supreme Court.

"The case, US v. Skrmetti, challenges a Tennessee law that bans treatments, including hormone therapy and puberty blockers, for transgender minors and imposes civil penalties on doctors who violate the prohibitions. Some two dozen similar laws have been enacted in recent years in Republican-led states," CNN reported.

It is a case that, if ruled favorably, could pave the way for change in at least 26 states that restrict treatments in protection of children.

"Tennessee, like many other states, acted to ensure that minors do not receive these treatments until they can fully understand the life-long consequences or until the science is developed to the point that Tennessee might take a different view of their efficacy," the state's lawyers wrote in court filings.

Strangio has a 12-year-old son, as well as a father he has described as a "fervid Trump voter who watches Fox News" and an Army veteran brother with whom, he says, he has a close relationship.

Along those lines, Strangio pushes the LGBT agenda from the American Civil Liberties Union. As The Telegraph explained, he grew up outside Boston and came out as trans when he was in law school.

"Mr. Strangio was criticized over his stance on issues around female-only spaces after he said trans women should be allowed to use women’s restrooms," highlighted The Telegraph.

He has also been criticized for making calls to cancel literature critical of the so-called gender agenda.
