Hey fam, it's me, Amara.

Welcome to the Translash podcast, a show where we tell trans stories to save trans lives.

Well, oral arguments for U.S. versus Scrametti have been scheduled to begin on December 4th.

U.S. versus Scrametti is the case before the Supreme Court, which will decide whether or not

gender affirming care for trans youth is constitutional. However, there is a chance that it will

decide the overall constitutionality of gender affirming care for all trans people in the United

States. This fact and reality adds to the strain that our community is feeling in the wake

of the election of Donald Trump. But trans people are making their voice heard on this.

Groups are encouraging trans people from all backgrounds to be outside of the

Supreme Court on December 4th to show solidarity. And on the inside, ACLU attorney Chase Strangio

will be the first trans person in history to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court.

That's why there's no better person to discuss this case and what it means besides Chase Strangio

himself.

This is the question.

This is the test.

What is the next thing they're going to take away from us?

Now, Chase and I recorded the conversation just days before the election, and if it had

been afterwards, I don't know how we would have gotten through it. All right, with that, let's start

as always, with some trans joy. Gender affirming care is under attack.

As these threats continue to escalate, we'll need to get creative to make sure that

trans kids continue to receive the care that they need.
