Landmark Transgender Justice Case is before the Supreme Court

On the heels of the election, the ACLU's legal team is busy preparing for oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court in the Landmark Transgender Justice Case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, which could have far-reaching implications on our bodily autonomy.

The ACLU, along with Lambda Legal, is representing transgender youth, their families, and a Memphis-based medical doctor, in a challenge against Tennessee's ban on hormone therapy for transgender youth. Legal counsel is arguing that the ban is a clear violation of the Equal Protection Clause. Of note, U.S. v. Skrmetti will be a major test of whether the Court is willing to stretch its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, to allow states to ban other health care like IVF and birth control. ACLU Leadership Forum is providing a Zoom Webinar on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024, 4-5 ET/ 1-2 PT.

ACLU policy and legal experts will join:

• J.J. Straight (host), ACLU National Campaign Director for Reproductive Rights
• Chase Strange, Co-Director of the ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Project
• Ria Tabacco Mar, Director of the ACLU Women's Rights Project

ACLU is inviting you to join on Thursday, December 5 - the day after oral arguments - for a special debrief with Chase Strangio, co-director of the ACLU's LGBTQ & HIV Project, who will be appearing before the Court.
