By Lindsay Shachnow On a recent day in early December, Northeastern University law students gathered in a classroom in Boston to listen to a broadcast of a U.S. Supreme Court case’s oral argument . The high-profile case, the students learned, challenges a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming health care for transgender minors and imposes civil penalties on doctors who violate the restrictions. Similar laws have been passed in several other states. A few hundred miles south of Boston, American Civil Liberties Union attorney Chase Strangio stood before the Supreme Court justices in Washington D.C., asserting that the Tennessee law violates the Equal Protection rights of transgender adolescents. That day, Strangio became the first known transgender person to argue before the highest court in the land. “I don’t think he’ll stop fighting until he’s out of breath,” Strangio’s former Northeastern University Law professor Libby Adler told Boston.com. “ He’s a model for what [law students] are training for, and what they can go out there and do.” Strangio grew up in Newton, in what he described as an “upper middle class suburban community.” For his brother, Noah Strangio, it was an “idyllic place to grow up.” “I think I really struggled as a kid and was really lost,” Chase Strangio told Boston.com in a recent interview. “I had a fire inside me that I knew would eventually find its way out, but I suffered and stressed a lot before it did.” Chase, four years ahead of his brother in school, went to Newton North High School, where he was an avid soccer player. Noah attended Newton South. The family of four was paired off: Chase was constantly with their mother, Joan, while Noah was with their father, Mark. “My mom would often be taking Chase to soccer games,” Noah told Boston.com. “On the average weekend my dad and I would go on hikes and go and see movies.” Chase’s parents divorced when he was in his sophomore year of high school. Joan, a former social worker, remained a constant presence in her children’s lives. Meanwhile, Chase’s father remarried. Tensions brewed. Chase never stayed with his brother at their father’s house, Noah recalled, and the two fought often. “He would stop by our house, and they would have heated discussions,” Noah remembered. “For Chase, that certainly created, I would say, an even further wedge between them.” For years, Chase challenged his father on his political views, but ultimately decided to stop discussing it with him. “My way of approaching it now is to not really talk about it,” he said. “It continues to be one of the things that I just simply don’t understand, but don’t really engage in regular exchange about.” After high school, Strangio was ready to leave New England. He packed his bags and shipped off to Grinnell College, a private liberal arts school in the midwest. In 2004, he moved back to Boston and worked at GLBTQ Advocates and Defenders for several years before enrolling in law school at Northeastern. But Strangio worried he might never be seen as a legitimate courtroom advocate. His fear, he wrote in a recent New York Times op-ed, was reinforced during his first year in law school. “One of my law school professors at Northeastern told our class that we needed to abide by traditional gender norms in court,” he wrote. “She instructed that women should wear skirts to appear before juries, and after a presentation in class she told me that I was too ‘soft-spoken’ to be seen as an effective male advocate.” But Strangio kept his head up. “It gave me a very negative feeling of my first year of law school overall,” he told Boston.com. “But as in all institutional aspects of life, you will encounter people who are bringing in the overall biases and power dynamics of the professions and society in which you’re engaging, and that was what happened in my first year.” While pursuing his law studies, Strangio lived in Jamaica Plain, where, he said, he found comfort in the neighborhood’s “queer community.” After his first year, things got better. He served as a research assistant on a clinical project to support LGBTQ youth for Professor Libby Adler. Over the course of his studies, the two developed a close relationship. As a student, Adler said Strangio suffered from what she described as “chronic dissatisfaction.” “He’s always got his eye on who’s suffering and who’s left behind,” Adler said. “He doesn’t rest.” Strangio came out as transgender while he was attending Northeastern, and had access to medical care that he said made him “feel more at home” in his body. “We talk about this care as life saving,” he said. “To be alive ... also means to have the life you want to lead.” After graduating from Northeastern in 2010, Strangio secured a fellowship at the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, where he co-founded the Lorena Borjas Community Fund, which provides bail assistance for LGBTQ immigrants. Strangio spoke about the fund during his job interview for the ACLU. While he was younger than most other applicants, James Esseks of the ACLU said Strangio’s initiative to create the fund won him over. “It’s one thing to have an idea, another thing to make it happen,” Esseks told Boston.com. “That’s exactly the kind of initiative that I prize.” Esseks and Strangio now direct the ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Rights Project together. Since he started in 2013, Strangio has worked on his fair share of cases at the ACLU, including a challenge to North Carolina’s law prohibiting transgender people from accessing restrooms and Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members from serving in the military. “In terms of what it means to be a trans person litigating trans cases, I think, of course, I have a personal connection to the material impact of the work, and I also can relate to my clients’ experiences to an extent,” he said. “We’re all bringing our subjectivity to bear on our interpretation of the law and our interest in how any one or another legal problem impacts us.” Strangio also defended whistleblower Chelsea Manning, a transgender woman who was arrested for disclosing classified documents about the U.S. government to WikiLeaks. While working on Manning’s case, he met documentary filmmaker Nadia Hallgren. The two became fast friends. “His brain is just very sophisticated in the way he thinks and problem solves,” Hallgren told Boston.com. “At the same time, he is self deprecating, down to earth, funny, fun, caring ... there’s not a lot of people like that.” In 2016, Strangio wrote a letter to then-President Barack Obama, pleading for Manning’s release. Strangio’s calls were answered when Obama commuted most of Manning’s remaining sentence the following year. Hallgren was assigned to document Strangio’s work representing Manning in the film “XY Chelsea,” including their first meeting at a military prison in Kansas City. “He’s so magnetic,” Hallgren said of Strangio. “I think people don’t intend on him being the center of a story, and the minute they meet him, it’s just like, it’s so obvious.” On the day of his oral argument at the Supreme Court, Strangio felt at ease. He had reread all the briefs and relevant cases, and regularly spoke out loud to himself, practicing hypothetical answers to his own hypothetical questions. “At that point I felt like I knew what I knew, and so I was ready to do it and to have it be done,” he said. About two weeks before his court appearance, Strangio spoke on the phone with his brother for an hour and a half. They talked about everything from movies, to parenting, to the election. Strangio sounded noticeably relaxed, a change that Noah observed in his brother over the years in the way he came to approach his work. On the long-awaited day, Strangio traveled to the court alone. He recalled meeting a colleague at security and talking with the opposing council before it was his turn to make his case. “During the argument itself, you are so present, you almost don’t know what is happening,” he said. “You’re so connected to the exchanges.” Noah planned to be in the room with Chase while he spoke before the court. But things took an unexpected turn when his wife went into labor with their second child the day before — three weeks early. The brothers caught up on the phone the following day. “Half the conversation ... was about me. Chase asked me about the baby and the birth, and how my toddler was doing,” Noah recalled. “There was a level of zen or serenity from Chase.” The argument itself went as expected, Chase told his brother. But the most memorable moment of the day, Chase said, took place outside of the courtroom. “I think the really most powerful part for me was coming out of the courtroom to the rally outside, to seeing trans young people and their parents, and seeing so many members of the community just out in the cold reveling in the joy of just being together, being alive, being able to be who they are,” he said. “It was a really beautiful rally, and gave me a lot of hope for the future.” A decision is expected in U.S. v. Skrmetti in the spring or early summer of 2025. Lindsay Shachnow Lindsay Shachnow covers general assignment news for Boston.com , reporting on breaking news, crime, and politics across New England.

Trump is welcomed by Macron to Paris with presidential pomp and joined by Zelenskyy for their talks PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron has welcomed Donald Trump to Paris with a full a dose of presidential pomp. And they held an impromptu meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymr Zelenskyy on a day that's mixing pageantry with attention to pressing global problems. The president-elect's visit to France is part of a global a celebration of the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral five years after a devastating fire. Macron and other European leaders are trying to win Trump’s favor and persuade him to maintain support for Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion. Syrian insurgents reach the capital's suburbs. Worried residents flee and stock up on supplies BEIRUT (AP) — Insurgents’ stunning march across Syria is gaining speed with news that they have reached the suburbs of the capital of Damascus. The government on Saturday was forced to deny rumors that President Bashar Assad had fled the country. The rebels’ moves around Damascus were reported by an opposition war monitor and a rebel commander. They came after the Syrian army withdrew from much of southern part of the country, leaving more areas, including two provincial capitals, under the control of opposition fighters. The advances in the past week were among the largest in recent years by opposition factions. The factions are by a group that has its origins in al-Qaida and is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the United Nations. Trump isn't back in office but he's already pushing his agenda and negotiating with world leaders NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is making threats, traveling abroad, and negotiating with world leaders. He has more than a month-and-a-half to go before he’s sworn in for a second term. But the president-elect is already moving aggressively to not only fill his Cabinet and outline policy goals, but also to try to achieve his priorities. In recent days, Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico, two of the country’s largest trading partners. That led to emergency calls and a visit. And he's warned of “ALL HELL TO PAY” if Hamas doesn't release the hostages still being held captive in Gaza. South Korea's president avoids an impeachment attempt over short-lived martial law SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol has avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law. Most of Yoon's ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea. A survey suggests a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party. But the party also apparently fears losing the presidency to liberals. UnitedHealthcare CEO's shooting opens a door for many to vent frustrations over insurance The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's CEO has opened the door for many people to vent their frustrations and anger over the insurance industry. The feelings of exasperation, anger, resentment, and helplessness toward insurers aren’t new. But the shooting and the headlines around it have unleashed a new wave of patients sharing such sentiments and personal stories of interactions with insurance companies. Conversations at dinner tables, office water coolers, social gatherings and on social media have pivoted to the topic. Many say they hope the new amplified voices can bring about change for companies often accused of valuing profits over people. Days after gunman killed UnitedHealthcare's CEO, police push to ID him and FBI offers reward NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly four days after the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, police still do not know the gunman’s name or whereabouts or have a motive for the killing. But they have made some progress in their investigation into Wednesday's killing of the leader of the largest U.S. health insurer, including that the gunman likely left New York City on a bus soon after fleeing the scene. The also found that the gunman left something behind: a backpack that was discovered in Central Park. Police are working with the FBI, which on Friday night announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. The DNC chair candidates discuss Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and winning Latino voters SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Four Democrats are running for Democratic National Committee chair, looking to take on the task of reinvigorating a party demoralized by a second loss to President-elect Donald Trump. Others may still get into the race as Democrats reckon with what went wrong in the 2024 election, which saw Trump gain with nearly every demographic group in a decisive repudiation of the incumbent party. The 448 DNC members will elect a successor for outgoing Chair Jaime Harrison on Feb. 1. The party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee is scheduled to meet next week to approve rules for the contest. 100-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor recalls confusion and chaos during Japanese bombing 83 years ago PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — The bombing of Pearl Harbor 83 years ago launched the United States into World War II. Two survivors are planning to return to the Hawaii military base on Saturday for a remembrance ceremony on the attack's anniversary. They are each over 100 years old. They will join active-duty troops, veterans and members of the public for a remembrance ceremony hosted by the Navy and the National Park Service. A third survivor was planning to join them but had to cancel due to health issues. The bombing killed more than 2,300 U.S. servicemen. An explosion destroys an apartment block in a Dutch city, killing at least 3 and injuring others THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — An explosion and fire has rocked a neighborhood in the Dutch city of The Hague, killing three people and injuring other people and destroying several apartments. The cause of the disaster is unclear. Emergency authorities said four people were rescued from the rubble and taken to the hospital. The mayor said rescuers were no longer looking for survivors but for eventual bodies, but could not specify how many people might still be unaccounted for. Residents of the northeastern neighborhood of Mariahoeve in The Hague heard a huge bang and screams before dawn. Dutch authorities have deployed a specialized urban search and rescue team to find victims. Do weighted blankets help you sleep better? Here's what to know NEW YORK (AP) — Weighted blankets are a popular choice to warm up in cold weather, but research on their effectiveness is limited. Such blankets come with extra heft in the form of glass beads, pellets or cotton. They're also more expensive than regular blankets. Scientists think the added pressure could calm the brain’s fight-or-flight response or signal the brain to produce what’s called the love hormone. There isn’t a ton of research on whether weighted blankets actually work, and the studies that do exist are on small groups. Experts say there’s no harm in giving them a try if you're willing to splurge.Luke Humphries bid for back-to-back World Championship titles on track after win
