This actively unfolding story of resistance follows ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio—the first out trans person to argue a case (LW v Skrmetti) before the Supreme Court—as he fights the 2023 Tennessee law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth. A supporting cast of veteran journalists and activists, such as Gina Chua, Jelani Cobb, Lydia Polgreen, and Laverne Cox help dismantle the logic and impact of anti-trans disinformation in mainstream media. This consequential decision, expected in June 2025, will determine the future of legal bodily autonomy for contraception and reproductive healthcare.
