Lawyer and transgender activist Chase Strangio told CNN’s Jake Tapper Tuesday that kids don’t consent to gender transition treatments, their parents do.
A transgender ACLU attorney defended gender transition procedures for children Tuesday while appearing to acknowledge they’re too young to consent.
On CNN, Chase Strangio discussed an upcoming case involving Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for minors that the trans man will argue in front of the Supreme Court later this week.
Host Jake Tapper asked Strangio about people concerned that there is not enough data regarding the effects of minors receiving such procedures. Strangio insisted there was enough information to prove they helped kids and even some children under 10 need this „relief“ from suffering.
„These are not doctors being forced to provide this medication“, Strangio said.
