In Part 2 of our interview, ACLU attorney Chase Strangio describes in detail the state-level attacks on trans youth and the intensifying international push to eradicate trans lives. Strangio is an attorney in the ACLU’s lawsuit against Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s directive to launch child abuse investigations against parents who seek gender-affirming care for their transgender children, and deputy director for transgender justice with the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project. “We do exist. We deserve to live,” says Strangio. “That should not be up for debate.”
