Chase Strangio surrounded himself with close friends on election night, knowing that Donald Trump might be sent back to the White House after a campaign that included extensive attacks on the transgender community Strangio is part of. Defending the community is his life’s work. The American Civil Liberties Union attorney sensed early in the evening that he would not get his hoped-for result. So, Strangio channeled his anxiety into finishing his written arguments to the Supreme Court on why the justices should strike down Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy for transgender minors. The Supreme Court takes up the case the first week in December.
