Anti-Trans Sports Bans Head to SCOTUS with Chase Strangio

The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in two pivotal cases about whether the government can discriminate against trans women and girls in athletics. Imara sits down with Supreme Court veteran and civil rights lawyer Chase Strangio, unpacking the strategy being used to challenge state laws than ban trans girls from playing sports. In this necessary conversation exploring what’s at stake in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.J.P., the pair unpack how the right-wing actors taking aim at trans girls actually have their sights set on a much bigger target: the Equal Protection Clause and, ultimately, democracy itself.
